NCT’s Doyoung makes long-awaited solo debut with ‘Little Light’
NCT singer Doyoung has made his solo debut with the single ‘Little Light’, from his brand-new album ‘Youth’.
In the music video for ‘Little Light’ follows NCT’s Doyoung as he travels through the city in the dead of night, pursuing a faint green light that always seems to evade him.
“Once I pour out all my light, my breath / Would my little moon become just like that star / It’s fine if the skies get muddy for a second / Cause I’m still blinded by the briefest comet flare,” he belts on the pop-rock ballad.
‘Youth’ is Doyoung’s first release as a solo artist. The record features 10 songs, including the collaboration ‘Time Machine’, featuring Girls’ Generation‘s Taeyeon and NCT bandmate Mark, as well as ‘Little Light’.
Meanwhile, SM Entertainment labelmate Kangta penned the lyrics of ‘Warmth’, while longtime SM producer Kenzie contributed to ‘Dallas Love Field’. Doyoung himself also wrote the lyrics for songs such as ‘Beginning’ and ‘From Little Wave’.
In other news, NCT Dream’s Renjun will be taking a hiatus from the group due to the “worsening of [his] physical health”. The label also confirmed that the singer will not be present at the boyband’s upcoming concert at Seoul’s Gocheok Sky Dome.
Elsewhere, HYBE and ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin, the woman behind popular girl group NewJeans, are reportedly in a power struggle over the K-pop agency. Following the news, the stock price of HYBE has dipped by over 7 per cent.
