Tzuyu of TWICE, who has made her solo debut, has released a heartwarming challenge video with her mother and members, which has become a hot topic. Recently, Tzuyu posted a challenge video for the title track 'Run Away' from her solo album, featuring her mother and cousin showcasing their excellent dance skills while highlighting Tzuyu. They made heart shapes with their fingers to support her solo debut, bringing smiles to viewers. Net users responded positively, saying things like 'Both mother and cousin are cute,' 'What a wonderful family,' and 'Tzuyu and her mother resemble each other. This family's genes are amazing.' Other dance challenges with members Jihyo, Mina, Jeongyeon, RAIN (P), and various artists who appeared on variety shows with Jaejoong are also trending. Tzuyu and her mother are known for their close relationship. Last February, it was reported that Tzuyu bought a luxurious penthouse in her hometown of Taiwan for her mother, located across from her mother's company. On the 5th of this month, Tzuyu released her 1st solo mini-album 'abouTZU.' Following members Nayeon and Jihyo, she is the third member to debut solo. The album name is a portmanteau of 'about' and 'TZUYU,' meaning it reflects all of Tzuyu. It includes six tracks, starting with the title track 'Run Away,' which was written by J.Y. Park, the representative producer of JYP Entertainment. The song conveys a message of 'after a long wait, when you start to open your heart, you pour all your love into a form no one has seen before.' Tzuyu explained at a press conference celebrating the album's release, 'I wanted to include many aspects of myself that I have never shown before in this album. There are mature and sexy vibes that I have never shown before, as well as playful songs and emotional ballads.'
