NCT Taeyong, 'Shalala' music video challenged to act in 4 roles by 1 person "It's awkward"

Taeyong revealed that he challenged himself to act in four roles in the music video for the title track of his solo album.

On the 24th, a showcase commemorating the release of NCT Taeyong's mini-album 'SHALALA' was held at SJ Kunsthalle in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

This album is Taeyong's first solo album since his debut.

The title song 'Shalala' is a hip-hop song that creates an exciting atmosphere by combining Taeyong's witty rap flow, addictive chorus, and free rhythmic bridge section. It contains the message that everyone can shine anywhere.

The performance of this new song was produced with a sophisticated after-party concept by YGX's Li Jeong, who was in charge of directing the choreography. It is a choreography that emphasizes Taeyong's versatile artist-like appearance and attractive visuals. In the chorus, point choreography reminiscent of the 'Macarena' dance and hand movements expressing 'Shalala' added to the fun of watching.

Regarding the styling and choreography, Taeyong said, "It's gorgeous like the title 'Sharala'. Today's 'Scissor Hands' outfit. They prepared a splendid performance as if they were dressed hard. The choreography itself is also hip. It was made by hip people,” he explained. Taeyong, who said that he also enjoyed working with Lee Jung, was confident that “there are many points in the performance.”

In the music video for the title song, Taeyong appears in 4 roles, including a knight in the Middle Ages and a hacker addicted to games. He said, “I am not in this. Assuming that I am in the multiverse world, I assumed that such a fun scenario would arise. It is a story that one day God attacks the multiverse worldview, and I go through several worldviews.” “The filming was awkward. I've never acted in a music video before. It was the first time that I had 4 roles per person. It was awkward, but rather awkward, so it seems to have been buried well.”

Taeyong's first mini-album 'Sharala' will be released on each music site at 6 pm on the same day. The music video for the title song 'Shalala' will also be released simultaneously on YouTube's SMTOWN channel.
