NCT Taeyong standing alone on stage "Solo activities, I'm afraid and nervous, but I want to do well"
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 released after his debut, and Taeyong participated in the entire production process, from the album planning stage to writing and composing all songs.
Taeyong, who came on stage, introduced himself as "Taeyong who will debut today", revealing a special feeling of releasing a solo album. Taeyong, who is releasing a solo album after 7 years of debut, said, "I've done a lot of activities, but I'm afraid and nervous about solo activities. I want to do well the most,” he said.
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.
Taeyong said, “I participated in writing and composing the lyrics for the title song of the same name and all the b-side songs for ‘Sharala’. It is a mini-album with 7 songs. I thought about what I was feeling and what I was thinking. When I was having a hard time, when I was having fun, when I was developing, this is an album that contains all those times. I thought it would be nice if it could be a dream, a help, and a support for those who listen to this album. After listening to this album, I hoped that the day would be a little more lively,” he explained.
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.
