White Entertainment has revealed the face of its newest artist, Nicole Naeun!
After Nicole made headlines last month when paparazzi caught her out shopping, White Entertainment has finally made an official announcement on the idol previously dubbed "Peach Bomb" by the press. Nicole has been secretly training with White for several years, and is said to be a multi-talented artist who has not only been trained as a singer, but also as a rapper, supermodel, and actress. Nicole will debut as a solo artist, in addition to serving as a member of White's new Girls' Revolution sub-unit, KARAMEL, which had its rumored lineup revealed when Tiffany Taeyeon released a twitpic of herself posing with Nicole and Suzy Sooyoung alongside the hashtagged word "#KARAMEL".
True to White's signature style, Nicole's teaser images have been driving netizens crazy with their ambiguous and confusing messages. The first teaser shows Nicole sticking her tongue out with a big caption that reads: "Nicole Naeun a.k.a. Peach Bomb." Next to it are three more captions that read: "Old?","New?", and "Renewed?," with no clear indication of the meaning behind the mysterious messages. The second teaser is even more confusing, as Nicole can be seen rocking a cute, girl-next-door concept with another three big captions surrounding her that say: "Debut?", "Comeback?", and"Redebut?".
Rumor has it that Nicole will be making her debut at the end of this month with a Teddy-produced song called "5.6.7.8 (Let's Dance)," but White has currently refused to confirm or deny this.
Speaking exclusively to allkflop, reps for White Entertainment revealed: "Nicole Naeun is set to release her first song very soon. Fans will be able to enjoy her cute and unique charms through various activities we have planned. CEO Trina Villota has purposely marketed Nicole as the rival of Lee Hi, so expectations are high that her upcoming single will easily out-chart "1.2.3.4." Once the preparations are wrapped up, you will be able to meet a Nicole Naeun who is not only known for her breathtaking beauty and S-line figure, but also a Nicole Naeun who is able to show emotions in her music video. Please look forward to her!"
Upon hearing the news, netizens flooded our forum to share their thoughts. Comments included, "Nicole is prettier than Yoona, Suzy, Hara, and Chanmi unnie combined. She's the new #1 visual member in K-pop!" "Ripping off Lee Hi is just shameless media play. Doesn't White know that media play will only gain Nicole antis?" "Why aren't Jessica Jiyeon and HyunA Knowles in KARAMEL, too?" and "What does all this redebut and renew stuff mean? It makes me think there is more to Nicole Naeun than meets the eye."
With everything up in the air now, it seems like we don't have much of a choice but to wait for updates. One thing for certain though, fans have certainly been teased. What do you think the teasers mean?
Stay tuned to allkflop for more details on this much-anticipated comeback.
