But as the first member to go solo, Nayeon spoke freely about the pressure she faced.
"Not only did I feel pressured, but I also felt like it was not easy doing everything by myself. That was especially so when I was recording my songs and practicing dance moves,” she said. "There are many members in TWICE, so I've never had to record the whole song by myself nor dance by myself. It turned out I had a fear of singing by myself as well."
TWICE is composed of nine members, and Nayeon serves as the lead vocalist, lead dancer, and center of the group.
