TWICE’s Nayeon Boasts Outstanding Collab Line-up: BTS Hit-maker & Digital Monsters
The solo comeback of TWICE’s Nayeon is generating excitement among fans with an outstanding collab artist lineup.
At midnight on May 16 (KST), JYP Entertainment released the tracklist and promotion schedule for TWICE’s Nayeon’s solo EP “NA”, marking her return after nearly two years since her solo debut with the EP “IM NAYEON”.
The 2nd mini-album from TWICE’s most popular member has already created a buzz among K-pop fans. The number of songs, collaborating artists, and production team reveal the significant investment JYP is making in Nayeon in her ninth year of activity.
Nayeon’s official comeback is scheduled for June, with the mini-album and title track MV set to release at 1 PM on June 14 (KST). Promotional content, concept photos, and MV teasers will be released gradually until the comeback date. Although much about the concept hasn’t been revealed, based on Nayeon’s previous image and the success of her debut E.P, fans predict she will once again enliven the summer with a fresh, energetic concept.
The most talked-about aspect is the promising tracklist for Nayeon’s return. Particularly, the female idol is set to release an E.P with 7 tracks, including the title track “ABCD,” “Butterflies,” “Heaven” (feat. Sam Kim), “Magic” (feat. Julie from KISS OF LIFE), “HalliGalli” (produced by Lee Chanhyuk of AKMU), “Something,” and “Count It.”
Notably, Nayeon will collaborate with the sweet-voiced singer Sam Kim and talented rapper Julie from KISS OF LIFE. It is known that Julie, a highly talented newcomer, contributed to the hit “Antifragile” of LE SSERAFIM.
Additionally, Nayeon is collaborating with Korea’s “digital monster” Chanhyuk from AKMU, who will produce the track “HalliGalli.” This collaboration between YG’s uniquely musical Chan Hyuk and JYP’s star Nayeon has fans excited, promising an interesting blend of styles.
Especially noteworthy is the production team behind the title track “ABCD,” which includes some of the most influential names in K-pop. The song’s lyrics were written by JYP CEO Park Jin-young, with composition and production by BTS’s “go-to producer” Pdogg. The involvement of these prominent figures signifies JYP’s full-scale investment in Nayeon’s comeback.
The collaboration of these big names in K-pop is expected to produce a hit, helping Nayeon overcome the recent trend of JYP artists struggling in digital performance.
