The EP will be led by the single "Killin' Me Good," news agency Yonhap reported, citing TWICE's label JYP Entertainment.

Jihyo will become the second member of the nine-piece act to launch a solo career, following Nayeon who debuted as a soloist in June 2022.

Excitement surrounding Jihyo's solo debut sparked earlier this month after TWICE shared a poster of the singer with the caption "ZYO's ZONE 'Killin' Me Good'," without providing further details.

TWICE, known for hits like "TT" and "What Is Love?", is set to play at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan on September 30 and October 1 for its "Ready to Be" world tour.
