According to Yonhap, the EP's lead single will be "Killin' Me Good," citing information from TWICE's company JYP Entertainment.
Jihyo will be the second member of the nine-piece act to go solo, following Nayeon, who made her solo debut in June 2022.
Her solo debut led to massive excitement earlier this month when TWICE tweeted a poster of the singer with the tagline "ZYO's ZONE 'Killin' Me Good," without revealing any further specifics.
TWICE, known for singles like "TT" and "What Is Love?," is scheduled to perform at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan on September 30 and October 1 as part of their "Ready to Be" international tour.
The band, which debuted in 2015, has amassed a sizable fan base in the Philippines, which Spotify describes as the band's "third biggest market."
