Her agency Core Contents Media disclosed to Star News, "[On the 17th], Hyomin finished filming her MV for solo title track 'Nice Body' at Yangpyeong-gun in Gyeonggi-do."

According to the rep, she engaged in 24 hours of filming starting early in the morning of June 16.  As she already finished the jacket picture shoots and album work earlier this month and now wrapped up the MV as well, she will be focusing on perfecting and completing her performance for when she takes the stage!

"Hyomin will be returning with a new concept never seen before in T-ara or T-ara N4.  It's a different charm from T-ara's Jiyeon, who made her solo debut first, and it will be a song that suits the summer time.  In anticipation for her solo stages, Hyomin is taking part in work with half excitement and half expectancy.  Look forward to Hyomin's promotion," the rep said.

Her solo mini-album will drop on July 2 with songs by Brave Brothers and a featuring by LOCO!
