From the results of TWICE's Nayeon
TWICE「ナヨン」の出した成果から
TWICE's Nayeon's solo debut album sells 250,000 copies in its first week - 4th in the history of female solo albums
★ TWICE's Nayeon's solo debut album sold 250,000 copies in its first week.
According to Hanteo Chart, her first solo album "Im Nayeon," released at 13:00 on the 24th, sold 252,903 copies in its first week (up to the 30th).
Looking at the historical ranking of Korean female singers and groups, this album ranks 17th. Among female solo singers, she is 4th after Lisa, Rosé, and IU.
Nayeon's record is more than just a number.
One of the things she has achieved is that she has shown how cute idols can also survive as solo artists.
When girl group members debut as solo artists, they often toe down their cuteness and emphasize their singing ability and coolness.
They competed by emphasizing singing ability over cuteness, and coolness over cuteness.
Why?
Because competing on cuteness only yields temporary, small-scale results.
In Nayeon's case, if Nayeon were marketed on her cuteness, her fans might jump at the chance.
But the other ONCEs probably wouldn't pay her any attention.
Perhaps because of such concerns, TWICE members one after another voiced their support for Nayeon's debut.
I had thought that with singing ability as good as Nayeon's, there was nothing to worry about, but now I understand what they were trying to say.
Nayeon made her solo debut by emphasizing her natural cuteness.
However, ONCE knew that Nayeon's performances were not only capable of singing and dancing, but also of being cute, so they had no worries.
- She can confidently show off her cuteness.
Just looking at this one example, Nayeon's achievements have encouraged those who follow her (cuteness and dancing skills are key).
Until now, there hadn't been a singer who made a solo debut with "idol-idol" music.
Nayeon boldly drove a wedge into that world, and it was a hit.
I feel like we'll see more idols making solo debuts with Nayeon-style pop songs in the future.
