Nicole, ex-member of girl group Kara, is preparing for her solo debut with hit producer Sweetune.

According to a source in the music industry, the idol will launch her solo promotions with a song produced by Sweetune. The producer is known for producing some of Kara’s biggest hits, such as “Mister,” “Lupin,” and “Jumping.”

When asked about the musical direction of Nicole’s debut album, a representative of her new agency B2M Entertainment commented, “She is currently in the midst of rigorous preparations. Her new image will definitely be different from her past one.”

“While there will be sexiness involved, the overall concept is not sexy. The concept will have a powerful feel that helps her fill the stage by herself, and we are planning to showcase a previously unseen side of her,” the representative revealed.

Nicole’s mini album is scheduled to drop in mid-November. This will also mark the beginning of her official solo promotions.
