TWICE's Jihyo is preparing to connect with fans as a solo artist with her debut single 'Killin' Me Good'.

Jihyo is set to release her first mini-album 'ZONE' at 1 pm KST (midnight Eastern Standard Time) on August 18th, following Nayeon to become the second member from TWICE to launch a solo career.

At midnight on June 26, JYP Entertainment released a surprise teaser video on their official SNS channel, grabbing the attention of global ONCEs (fanbase name: ONCE). The mosaic screen partially obscuring Jihyo's face was filled with varied scenes like fluttering candles, twinkling heart lights, shattered glass, and swirling waves. Above her captivating eyes, the phrase "You're making me feel" heightened the curiosity about the mysterious message behind her solo song 'Killin' Me Good'.

The previously concealed 'ZONE' and 'Killin' Me Good' in the revealed poster were unveiled as the name of Jihyo's debut solo album and the title track, respectively. Jihyo, who showcased her abilities as a solo artist by performing the self-composed song 'Nightmare' at TWICE's new world tour 'READY TO BE' in Seoul, is set to officially display her charm in an album under her name this August.

TWICE has been building precious memories with fans around the world through their fifth world tour 'READY TO BE', which spans 38 shows across 22 cities. The girl group has made history as the first to perform at Sofi Stadium, successfully attracting 50,000 attendees at their sold-out concert in Los Angeles, USA. Their upcoming solo concerts in Bangkok, Thailand on September 23 and in Bulacan, Philippines on September 30 have also sold out. Notably, tickets for their concert at the Philippine Arena, which seats around 40,000, sold out instantly upon opening, leading to the addition of a performance on October 1, which also quickly sold out. In total, they are set to meet around 80,000 fans in the Philippines.

Meanwhile, the debut solo album 'ZONE' and title song 'Killin' Me Good' by Jihyo, who shines as the leader of the 'global top girl group' TWICE, will be released simultaneously worldwide at 1 pm KST on August 18.
