“IM NAYEON” is actually NaYeon’s full real name but at the same time, the EP’s title also gives the confident statement “I’m NaYeon”. TWICE recently performed back-to-back, sold-out performances at Los Angeles’ Banc of California Stadium – encore performances of their sold-out “4TH WORLD TOUR Ⅲ”. These performances were a major milestone for the group, as they made TWICE the first female K-Pop group to play a North American stadium. “4TH WORLD TOUR Ⅲ” kicked off with three shows in Seoul on December 24th before heading to the United States where they played five cities – Los Angeles (The Forum), Oakland (Oakland Arena), Fort Worth (Dickies Arena), Atlanta (State Farm Arena), and New York (UBS Arena) – including two shows in both Los Angeles and New York due to popular demand. All seven shows sold out just hours after on sale, and made TWICE the first female K-Pop group to sell out two North American arena tours. TWICE’s return to States was highly anticipated, as this tour was the group’s first time back since their hit “TWICELIGHTS” world tour in 2019, which included sold-out shows at Los Angeles’ The Forum in Los Angeles and Newark’s Prudential Center.

They also performed the single on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and “GMA3”. Earlier the same year, they performed on “TIME 100 Talks”, “The Kelly Clarkson Show”, and “The Ellen DeGeneres Show”, and in June, they released their 10th mini album, “Taste of Love”. The album debuted at #6 on the Billboard 200 chart and the music video for the album’s lead track, ‘Alcohol-Free’, was nominated for an MTV Video Music Award for Best K-Pop.
