2016–present: Debut

In July 2015, Antenna Music announced that Kwon's debut album was nearing completion, with an expected release date in September 2015.[4] It was pushed back, however, due to her experiencing an emotional slump at the time.[5]

On July 18, 2016, she released the duet single "For Now" with fellow Antenna signee and K-pop Star 3 finalist Sam Kim.[6] The pair promoted as a duo, opening for Charlie Puth's concert in Seoul the following month and performing together at the Asia Song Festival in October.[7][8]

On 19 September 2016, Kwon made her solo debut with the full-length studio album One Strange Night.[9] It featured songwriting and production contributions from You Hee-yeol, Sunwoojunga, Cha Cha Malone, Ra.D, D.ear and Yun Seok-cheol. Kwon wrote lyrics and music for three songs on the album: "Zig Zag", "Smack" and "20"; with "Zig Zag" being completely self-produced and recorded in her bedroom at home.[5][10] The album's lead single, "The End", debuted at 17 on the Gaon Digital Chart and charted within the top 100 for more than four months.[11]

On March 24, 2022, Antenna released a video introducing Kwon's new single "Pink!" via SNS on the 24th, and announced their comeback on March 31, 2022.[12]

In May 2022, tickets for Kwon's solo concert "The Dreamer" were sold out, which was held from June 3 to 5, 2022.[13]

In October 2022, Kwon released her new digital single "Stupid Love", released on October 13.[14]

In February 2023, the agency announced that Kwon will make a comeback with EP "The Flag" which is scheduled to be released on March 2,[15] and will also hold solo concerts on April 1 and 2.[16] In July 29–30, Kwon held her first fan concert since her debut called "Love Me" in which she performed covers and several of her songs including unreleased and to be released songs.[17] In August 10, Kwon released her self-composed single "Love Me Love Me" which is intended to be a bright and refreshing song.[18] In September 15, Antenna announced Kwon's official fun club "JinahON" recruitment followed by a pop up store to commemorate the release of her single and founding of her fan club.[19] In October 21, Antenna announced Kwon's first solo international concert in Taipei, Taiwan to be held on 26 November.[20]
