TWICE’s Nayeon ‘Confused’ After Contract Renewal

Nayeon is feeling positive about her career. The TWICE lead singer spoke about the group’s contract renewal with JYP Entertainment. Im Na-yeon explained that things are looking up but it also had her “confused” for some time.

Nayeon Confirms Awesome Changes Since TWICE Renewed Contract With JYPE

In July 2022, TWICE survived the seven-year curse as all nine members renewed their contracts with JYP Entertainment. The girl group has been thriving since then. This is evident in Nayeon as she graces the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Korea’s May issue.

In an interview with the magazine, the “Pop!” singer revealed that there were several positive changes since the contract renewal.

“It feels like the house I live in has become warmer. It is more stable when the members come together more closely, understand each other, and go towards the same goal,” Nayeon said.

The TWICE vocalist added she was initially puzzled about her goals but ultimately decided to work towards them.

“Personally, I was also confused. I thought about what I wanted to do the most, and it was to match what I wanted to do as Twice and Nayeon. I am very satisfied now,” she said.

Nayeon is on a roll even before the contract renewal. In May 2022, she announced the release of her first solo EP “Im Nayeon”. The mini-album was the first album by a South Korean soloist to reach the top ten on the US Billboard 200.

TWICE is also on a roll since they renewed their contract with JYP Entertainment. Since July 2022, the group has released two mini-albums and the English single “Moonlight Sunrise”. They will release the Japanese single “Hare Hare” next month.

Nayeon shares the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Korea’s May issue with Girls’ Generation‘s Taeyeon and Newjeans‘ Hyein. TWICE’s next Japanese single “Hare Hare” will drop on May 31, 2023.
