NCT member Haechan is heightening anticipation for his solo debut album, 'TASTE', just three days before its release. The first full-length album, 'TASTE', set to drop on the 8th, features a total of 11 tracks including the title song 'CRZY'. The album is drawing significant attention as it encapsulates Haechan's musical taste and capabilities honed over his nine-year career.

Haechan, who debuted with NCT in 2016, has actively promoted with both NCT 127 and NCT DREAM, earning recognition for his unique vocals, exceptional singing ability, and outstanding performances. He perfected the distinctive 'Neo' genre with NCT 127's intense music and high-difficulty choreography, while simultaneously becoming a source of 'dreams and hope' for fans worldwide with NCT DREAM's refreshing and positive messages. Expectations are high to see how his diverse spectrum, cultivated through seamlessly transitioning between various group concepts and genres, will expand in his solo debut album.

'TASTE' is an album that fully embodies Haechan's musical preferences, offering a special experience to savor the identity of 'solo artist' Haechan. After deep consideration, Haechan chose the R&B genre, which best showcases his individuality, and will present a total of 11 R&B tracks with diverse charms, including neo-soul, pop dance, hip-hop, soul, and electro.

The title track 'CRZY' is an R&B pop dance song that reinterprets the raw mood of the early 2000s. It will allow listeners to witness Haechan's multifaceted talents, encompassing not only vocals but also rap and performance. The song is expected to captivate listeners with its powerful energy, much like its lyrics depicting the temptation of a mesmerizing相手.

This album captures a wide range of emotions, from the aspirations and inner struggles of an artist embarking on a new beginning, to the thrill of attraction, the excitement and romance of love, and the pain of separation. Haechan has meticulously poured his efforts into richly expressing these emotions through his three-dimensional and delicate vocals. He will also showcase his enhanced musical capabilities by participating in writing the lyrics for the B-side track 'Should Be'.
