Acclaimed singer and former Miss A member MIN is proud to announce the release of her new mini-album ‘PRIME TIME’ on 21 June. The four-track project marks a significant evolution in MIN’s career and features the lead single ‘PRIME TIME’. Reflecting her artistic growth since her time in the K-pop industry, the mini-album is a mix of different genres.
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 fuelled her dreams of becoming a performer.
In 2010, she made her debut as a member of the iconic girl group Miss A under JYP Entertainment. The group was a huge success and gained a worldwide fanbase.
Looking back on her K-pop career, MIN notes that being a part of the successful band miss A has been an incredible experience, although it has come with its own challenges.
After being in the K-pop industry for so long, I felt like I had to exist in a certain mould, look a certain way, dress a certain way, etc.

This desire for authenticity led MIN to move to New York, a city that inspired her to embrace her true self.
The mini-album ‘PRIME TIME’ represents MIN’s journey of self-discovery and empowerment. According to MIN, the album serves as a reflection of her entire journey and shows her determination to create the music she has always imagined. Through this project, MIN wants to prove to herself and others that she is capable of creating the music that truly resonates with her.
MIN will be hosting a special event at Mission Nightclub in New York on Friday 21 June 2024 to celebrate the release of ‘PRIME TIME’.
Doors will open at 6:30pm with the main event running from 7pm to 9pm.
This event will be the first live performance of the EP and will provide fans with an exclusive experience of MIN’s latest work.
