Boy band NCT’s Jaehyun will release his solo debut full-length album, “J,” on Monday evening after holding a listening party earlier that day.

Jaehyun will host a listening party titled “Jaehyun, Vol. 1” from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday, ahead of the release of “J.” The NCT member will hand out drinks he has personally concocted to match “the mood” of the new album.


The album includes a total of eight tracks: Korean and English versions of the lead track "Smoke," “Roses,” “Flamin’ Hot Lemon,” “Dandelion,” “Completely,” “Easy” and “Can’t Get You.”

“Smoke” is a hip-hop R&B track with rhythmic bass and guitar riffs, with lyrics comparing a loving moment in a car with a significant other to “smoke wafting over a boom box.”

“It is a good album to listen to throughout the late afternoon and dawn, right before the sun comes up,” Jaehyun said in a press release.

Jaehyun debuted in 2016 as a member of the boy band NCT U, with its digital single “The 7th Sense.” He is currently a member of several NCT subunits, including NCT U, NCT 127 and NCT Dojaejung.
