Jihyo’s solo debut is not a huge surprise for ONCEs who have been attending TWICE’s Ready To Be World Tour. During their concerts, Jihyo had been performing a previously unreleased track “Nightmare”. There have been speculations that the song will be part of her upcoming solo debut.
Park Ji Hyo will be the second member of TWICE to debut as a solo artist. In May 2022, Nayeon announced the release of her first solo EP “Im Nayeon” which was released in June of that year. The mini-album was the first album by a South Korean soloist to reach the top ten on the US Billboard 200.
