TWICE's Jihyo Gears Up for Solo Debut: A Perfect Blend of Dazzling and Understated Visuals
Ahead of her solo debut, TWICE's Jihyo is captivating global fans with her blend of vibrant and minimalist charm.
Jihyo is all set to debut as TWICE's second solo artist with her mini-album 'ZONE' and title track 'Killin' Me Good' releasing on August 18.
JYP Entertainment has been revealing teaser images on their official SNS channels since the 7th, showcasing the multi-dimensional appeal of Jihyo. On the 10th, two final concept photos were unveiled, completing the anticipation.
In the photos, Jihyo radiates a different aura from the previously released concept pictures. One shot captures the pinnacle of splendor, accentuating the cool and sophisticated blue color harmonized with floral patterns, suitable for summer. In contrast, another image presents a simple yet natural ambiance, featuring Jihyo in a silky dress, portraying contrasting energies.
Her debut mini-album 'ZONE' signifies 'Jihyo(Z)'s First(ONE)' and 'Jihyo(Z)'s Complete One(ONE) work.' Emphasis was placed on the concept photos to present the intrinsic beauty of Jihyo authentically.
A snippet from the title track 'Killin' Me Good' hints at the captivating nature of the song with lyrics like, "Every ten seconds I think of you, I'm surprised at my reflection, You're killin' me killin' me good / You're making me feel something new, You're making me feel so brand new". Through four concept photos, Jihyo, with her constantly emerging charisma and individuality, has garnered international attention, heightening the curiosity and expectations towards 'ZYO'S ZONE.'
The solo debut track 'Killin' Me Good' amplifies Jihyo's distinctive rich and powerful voice. The song's lyrics are penned by JYP's head producer Park Jin-young. The rhythmical and groovy sound was polished with the collaboration of notable artists like Melanie Fontana, Lindgren, and Monsters and Strangerz's writer Marcus Lomax.
Having consistently participated in the creation of tracks for TWICE's albums and garnered praise from fans worldwide, Jihyo showcases her accumulated musical prowess in this solo debut.
Apart from the title track, Jihyo personally contributed to all six songs on the album, including 'Talkin' About It (Feat. 24kGoldn)', 'Closer', 'Wishing On You', 'Don't Wanna Go Back (Duet with Heize)', 'Room', and 'Nightmare'.
On August 18, at 1 pm KST (or 12 am Eastern Time), Jihyo will officially release her debut album 'ZONE' and the title track 'Killin' Me Good', marking her first step as a solo artist.
