Before going into the military, the South Korean dancer, rapper, and songwriter was able to hold his first solo concert “TY TRACK” for two days at the Seoul Olympic Hall (February 24 and 25).
We got you, NCTzens! While we wait for the NCT Leader’s return, we have compiled a list of seven of his diverse discography and explained why they should be on your playlist.
MOON TOUR
Let’s kick things off with the R&B side track “Moon Tour” which is Taeyong’s favorite song from his latest second mini album “TAP.” He revealed in an interview that he wrote it while thinking of his NCT 127 members, who he wishes they could travel abroad together.
LONG FLIGHT
It’s okay to get deep in your feelings with Taeyong’s first digital single in 2019 “Long Flight.” This alternative R&B song smoothly blends his strong vocals with the instrumental. While there may be a long wait before meeting the K-Pop star again, “Long Flight” can accompany you with its fascinating melody and comforting tune.
RUBY
Are you in for something sentimental? If yes, then “RUBY” is a perfect song to play. Written by TAEYONG with $ÜN and Saimon, this song is a touching love letter for TAEYONG’s late childhood dog Ruby from his first mini album “SHALALA.” In the song, you can hear the longing and appreciation in Taeyong’s voice allowing you to bask in the heartfelt lyrics.
MOVE MOOD MODE
On the other hand, Taeyong’s solo projects are also explored with collaborations, a true indication of his versatility. “Move Mood Mode” flawlessly captures a vibrant perspective of attraction with impeccable vocals with Red Velvet’s Wendy.
ZOO
Another viral performance choreographed by Taeyong and Bada Lee, “ZOO” is a hip-hop track featuring Aespa’s Giselle, and his NCT co-members Hendery, Jeno, and YangYang. Start your day off right with this hype music!
LOVE IS A BEAUTY
If you are in the mood for love, ready to swoon and indulge with NCT 127’s “Love is a Beauty.” It gives a glimpse of slow but assuring romantic feelings, boasting the moving lyrics, “Love doesn’t come easy, girl, but loving you is easy.” Indeed, love is beautiful especially when it is expressed in a song composed Taeyong himself, members Mark and Taeil, and writers Mizzy Lott, San Yoon, The Breed, and Yuhwa.
AMINO ACID
From NCT 127’s Analog Trip: Escape From Magic Island, the original soundtrack “Amino Acid” brings a shift in the mood, an infectious happy track of togetherness. It is the perfect song to play in the summer to match the upbeat and refreshing vibes of the season. This track written by TAEYONG and Royal Dive will surely cheer you up when you feel like the days are getting longer.
TAEYONG is the first member of NCT to enlist in the military and will be released by December 2025.
You don’t have to keep it lowkey and let us know your favorite song of Taeyong.
