K-pop singer Nicole Jung, a former member of girl group KARA, is enjoying solo success with her debut Japanese album “Something Special.”

“Something Special” was released in Japan last Wednesday and has since topped sales at retail music chain Tower Records across the country.

Nicole’s debut Japanese album and first solo studio album became the bestselling K-pop album at Tower Records stores nationwide, a week after its release, according to Japanese K-pop media website K-style.

Nicole had moderate success with her debut Korean solo EP “First Romance” last year.

The 23-year-old singer debuted with KARA in 2007. She parted ways with the girl group and its management when her contract expired last year.
