SEOUL, May 11 (AJP) -Lee Tae-yong, the leader of NCT, will release his first full-length solo album titled WYLD on May 18, SM Entertainment said Monday. The 10-track project marks a significant milestone for the 30-year-old performer who has been a central figure in South Korea's global music expansion since his debut in 2016.
The release underscores the artist's creative evolution as a producer and songwriter for both his individual projects and the wider NCT collective. Since beginning his career, Lee Tae-yong has been instrumental in shaping the experimental sound associated with SM Entertainment’s global expansion strategy.
The upcoming album features the hip-hop title track WYLD alongside B-side recordings such as the alternative R&B song Mermaid. It also includes 404 Euphoria, a track that continues an ongoing musical concept series that first began with 404 File Not Found in 2023. This song drew significant interest from fans after it was previewed via a video segment during a recent concert tour.
Ahead of the launch, a commemorative exhibition for the album will be held from May 16 to 18 at the Hyundai Card Music Library in the Yongsan District of Seoul. Listening sessions are also scheduled to take place at the Hyundai Card Understage on May 16 and 17.
