[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Natti, who gained recognition through Mnet's 'Sixteen,' officially debuted in the music industry after 5 years.

On the afternoon of the 7th, Natti held an online showcase to commemorate the release of her debut single 'NINETEEN.'

On this day, Natti said, "Debuting before turning 20 was on my bucket list. I'm so happy and nervous because it's a dream I've had for a long time," adding, "I can't believe it. I was so nervous that I couldn't sleep well."

Natti, who first became known through Mnet's survival program 'Sixteen' in 2015, showcased her vocal and dance skills despite being only 14 years old at the time.

Regarding this, Natti said, "'Sixteen' was a great joy for me. Since I was young, it was more about the joy of being able to dance on stage rather than competition." She continued, "That experience is the foundation of who I am now."

Even after being eliminated from 'Sixteen,' Natti did not give up on debuting. She expressed, "I am grateful to the fans who have waited for a long time, my parents, and friends who supported me," and added, "I also want to praise myself for not giving up and working hard."

Finally, she said, "I am so happy to have achieved my dream of debuting," and shared her aspiration, "I want to become a singer whom people trust to listen to and watch. I want to create my own style and genre."
