The K-pop star is now officially a soloist.
On Monday, August 26, Korean idol Jaehyun of the male group NCT launched his individual music career through the release of his first solo album titled ‘J’.
The album has eight tracks, and features the song ‘Smoke’ as its title track, which has separate versions in Korean and English.
‘Roses’ and ‘Dandelion,’ the two other songs that are also part of the album, were issued as pre-album launch music videos last August 12, two weeks ahead of today’s release.
Jaehyun made his debut as one of the original members of NCT in 2016 and then became part of the line-up for the group’s fixed sub-unit NCT 127.
127 is known for their songs like ‘Cherry Bomb,’ ‘Touch,’ ‘Kick It,’ ‘Sticker,’ and ‘Favorite (Vampire),’ among others. The sub-unit also recently released their sixrh album ‘Walk’ in July.
In 2023, Jaehyun joined Doyoung and Jungwoo to form the sub-unit NCT DoJaeJung, which is known for their single ‘Perfume.’
Aside from doing music, Jaehyun has also been active as an actor, making his debut in the drama scene in 2022 via the series ‘Dear M.’
