Im Na-yeon[a] (Korean: 임나연; born September 22, 1995), known mononymously as Nayeon, is a South Korean singer. She became a member of the South Korean girl group Twice, under JYP Entertainment, in 2015 as a winning contestant of the reality survival television show Sixteen.
In 2022, her eponymous debut extended play (EP), Im Nayeon, peaked at number 7 on the US Billboard 200, making her the first South Korean soloist to enter the chart's top 10.
As a child, Nayeon participated in a modeling contest and was cast by JYP Entertainment. Although her mother initially prevented her from entering show business given her young age, Nayeon secretly attended the agency's open audition on September 15, 2010, after which she became a trainee. In 2013, she was added to the lineup of 6mix, a planned JYPE girl group that never debuted. She also made an appearance in the second episode of the 2012 television series Dream High 2.
