The "Queen of Visuals" is ready to reign solo. On January 6, 2026, JYP Entertainment confirmed that Yuna is currently in the final stages of preparation for her debut solo album. While the exact date remains a surprise, the industry is buzzing with a scheduled March release, marking a significant milestone in her seven-year career.
A New Musical Chapter
Yuna has long been a standout performer in ITZY, known for her magnetic stage presence and versatile skills. For her solo debut, insiders suggest the album will showcase a "more layered side" of her artistry. Fans can expect to hear:
• Distinctive Vocals: A focus on her unique vocal color that has evolved significantly since debut.
• Signature Rap: Incorporation of the charismatic rap tone that made her a fan favorite.
• Visual Storytelling: Reports indicate that Yuna has already begun filming the music video, which is expected to be a high-budget cinematic experience.
More Than Just Music: 2026 is Yuna’s Year
The solo album is just one part of Yuna’s massive 2026 takeover. She is simultaneously expanding her portfolio into the world of acting:
1. "Undercover Miss Hong": Her acting debut in this tvN drama is set for January 17, 2026.
2. "My Favorite Employee": She has already been cast in this second series, which will begin production later this year.

The Second Soloist of ITZY
Yuna becomes the second member of ITZY to go solo, following Yeji, whose solo album AIR saw massive success in March 2025. By choosing the same month for Yuna’s debut, JYP seems to be establishing a tradition for ITZY’s solo rollouts.
Between her acting roles, ITZY's ongoing "Tunnel Vision" World Tour, and this new album, 2026 is officially the year of Shin Yuna.
