The Birth of a "Perfect Combination!" NCT JNJM Releases First Mini Album "BOTH SIDES" containing six tracks, including the title track 'BOTH SIDES.'
The "BOTH SIDES" album, with the keyword "duality," captures moments when Jeno and Jaemin, each possessing distinct charms, vividly reveal their individual colors, while at times, they blend together as if they were one, creating a perfect balance. Centered around the synergy of the two members, whose differences become their strengths, the album maintains a tense atmosphere throughout, creating a delightful immersion that makes it difficult to easily choose one over the other.
Jeno and Jaemin are a perfect pairing, having worked together for over a decade, from their trainee days through NCT and NCT DREAM. Their stage-dominating performances, energy, and wide musical spectrum have solidified their individuality and diverse charms, earning them the love of fans worldwide as members of a representative K-pop group. All eyes are on what new side of themselves they will present with this unit album.
The title track "BOTH SIDES" is an energetic and upbeat hip-hop dance track that combines a sensual sound design, flowing drum beats, and witty vocals and rap. The lyrics cheerfully convey the message of captivating others with two distinct charms, leaving listeners happily torn between the two choices they can't afford to miss.
'I.D.O.L.' from this album is an uptempo pop track that uniquely captures the confident attitude of an idol on stage who captivates the world and their friendly gaze toward their fans. 'What It Is' is a pop R&B track that sensuously portrays the process of falling deeply in love with someone. The lyrics, penned by Jaemin himself, capture the listener's attention.
Also, the album contains a total of 6 songs that move through various moods, including the emotional hip-hop song ‘HASHTAG’ with lyrics about proving one’s infinite charm in line with the numerous hashtags directed at oneself, ‘WIND UP’ which sings a hopeful message about believing in oneself and throwing one’s ball towards one’s dreams, and ‘sexier’ which wittily expresses the tension that gradually becomes bolder as one is drawn to one another.
