CHAEYOUNG, a member of TWICE, released “SHOOT (Firecracker)” through JYP Entertainment on 12 September 2025. It is the title track of her first solo album, LIL FANTASY vol.1.

Volume one implies volume two

Numbering a debut album “vol.1” is a commitment, not a decoration. Korean agencies increasingly frame a solo release as the opening instalment of a series rather than a one-off, which changes how the record is planned: a shared visual identity, a title that can be reused, and a second release already budgeted before the first one charts. It also manages expectations. A member stepping out from a large group carries a risk that the solo work is read as a departure; labelling it volume one signals continuity and gives the artist room to develop an identity across several records instead of proving everything at once.

About this release

“SHOOT (Firecracker)” comes from LIL FANTASY vol.1, billed in the official description as CHAEYOUNG’s first album. The video was published to the JYP Entertainment channel on 12 September 2025, with the copyright line reading © 2025 JYP Entertainment. The description carries a pre-save and pre-order link, meaning the video went up ahead of the full album rather than alongside it.
