Kim Nam-joo, a South Korean pop singer known for her role in Apink, has hinted at releasing new solo music. Her official logo was shared on Apink’s X account (formerly known as Twitter) on February 14th. The K-pop singer’s label Choi Creative Lab has confirmed that she will release new music sometime this year.
More details about the album, including its title and release date, are expected to be revealed in the coming months. Kim Nam-joo made her solo debut in September 2020 with the single album ‘Bird’, and since then, she has appeared in the 2022 South Korean stage musical Midnight Sun and also hosted the Channel A reality show Because It’s My First New House.
Apink’s most recent group release was their April 2023 mini-album ‘SELF’. The project, which was led by the single ‘D N D’, came over a year after their only 2022 release, ‘HORN’. Since the release of ‘SELF’, four members of Apink – Park Cho-rong, Yoon Bo-mi, Kim Nam-joo, and Oh Ha-young – have left their long-time agency IST Entertainment to sign with Choi Creative Lab. Fifth member, Jung Eun-ji re-signed her contract with IST Entertainment.
IST Entertainment confirmed that Apink would not disband and “group activities will continue,” but the girl group has yet to release new music since the label change. Apink has been successful since their debut in 2011 and has won several awards such as the Melon Music Awards, Golden Disc Awards, and Seoul Music Awards.
