Among all of this, Taeyong is recognized as an all-around member of NCT, with unmatched rap, vocals, performance, and concept, as well as his activities as a member of NCT 127 and NCT U. This is why Taeyong is called the 'all-rounder Idol' who can fit into all positions, namely rap, vocals, performance, and visual based on solid musical abilities, which were honed through his trainee period. Therefore, high expectations are given for his performance through his first solo album.

2. Making 50 or More NCT Album Songs, Proven Musical Ability

Taeyong has participated in writing and making songs for more than 50 songs in NCT albums, including The 7th Sense, Fire Truck, Cherry Bomb, Regular, Sticker, BOSS, and more. Taeyong, who has been working steadily since making rap for his part, actively participated in the SM Song Camp despite his busy schedule, with the spirit of planning, producing, and writing songs.

In 2019, through SM 'STATION', Taeyong released his first solo song Long Flight, which he wrote and composed himself. In 2021, he opened an account on the SoundCloud platform and began to show his musical sensibility with his own songs. Through songs like Dark Clouds, series GTA, BLUE, Monroe, Rose with Seulgi of Red Velvet, Swimming Pool, and FINE, Taeyong expands his own music spectrum by freely digesting various emotions and senses.

With that, expectations for his first solo mini-album SHALALA, which contains a total of 7 songs that Taeyong made himself, have increased. Taeyong not only participated in writing songs, but he was also actively involved in the overall album production to show his further developed skills as a musician.

3. Taeyong's 'Born to Be Performer' Appearance

What cannot be left out of Taeyong's appearance. TAEYONG is known as the 'King of Performance' because of his outstanding dance performances, expressions, and behavior on stage. He started making choreography in his days as SM Rookies and directly suggested choreography that anyone can remember when thinking of NCT 127's song Kick It.

Taeyong also participated in the choreography for Bring The Noize, which is a song from NCT 127's 3rd full-length album STICKER and ZOO, which is a song from SMTOWN's 2022 winter album. In addition, Taeyong also opened his own YouTube channel and released self-produced performance videos, such as LONELY and GHOST.

Because Taeyong is able to produce his own music and performances, expectations are also increasing for the performances he will show through his first solo album.

World-renowned choreographer Rie Hata also participated in the work and collaborated with Taeyong, increasing curiosity about the synergy that will be shown by the best performers.
