Renowned singer and former miss A member MIN is proud to announce the release of her new mini-album ‘PRIME TIME’ coming on June 21st. This four-track project marks a significant evolution in MIN's career, featuring the lead single "PRIME TIME". The mini-album blends different genres and reflects her artistic growth since her time in the K-pop industry.

MIN's musical journey began in her childhood, influenced by legends, such as Michael Jackson, Prince, and Destiny's Child. Her admiration for K-pop pioneer BoA fueled her dreams of becoming a performer. She debuted as a member of the iconic girl group miss A under JYP Entertainment in 2010, where she achieved immense success and garnered a global fanbase.

Looking back at her K-pop career, MIN notes that being part of the successful band miss A was an incredible experience though it came with its challenges. She shares, "After existing within the K-pop industry for so long, I felt as though I had to exist within a certain mold, look a certain way, dress a certain way, etc." This desire for authenticity led MIN to relocate to New York, a city that inspired her to embrace her true self.

The mini-album ‘PRIME TIME’ represents MIN's journey towards self-discovery and empowerment. According to MIN, the album serves as a reflection of her entire journey, showcasing her determination to create the music she has always envisioned. Through this project, MIN aims to prove to herself and others that she has the ability to craft the music that truly resonates with her.

The recording process was refreshingly organic with MIN and her team creating music without external pressures or deadlines. "It was just really natural and flowed in accordance to what I wanted to hear and create. That might not sound terribly interesting, but within the context of my career, it was incredibly refreshing," she adds.

“I hope that this mini-album is one that empowers people and that instills in the listeners hope and an empowerment that you, too, can live the way that you’d like without having to answer to any critics and naysayers.” 

MIN's transition from the structured world of K-Pop to the vibrant music scene in New York has profoundly impacted her artistry, and the album precisely showcases her newfound freedom and sound.

In addition to her solo music career, MIN made her Broadway debut in the history-making musical 'K-Pop', showcasing her versatility as an artist and performer. Her accomplishments with miss A and her continued success in the entertainment industry highlight her enduring talent and resilience.

To celebrate the release of ‘PRIME TIME’, MIN will be hosting a special event in New York on Friday, June 21st, 2024, at Mission Nightclub. Doors open at 6:30 PM with the main event running from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. This event will mark the first live performance of the EP, offering fans an exclusive experience of MIN's latest work.
