The project is centred around the keyword “duality” and is designed to highlight both the individual characteristics of Jeno and Jaemin and the balance they create when performing together. According to the concept, the album will explore moments where their contrasting qualities combine to form a cohesive partnership, with their differences positioned as a central strength of the unit.

Jeno and Jaemin have worked together for a decade through NCT and its sub-unit NCT DREAM, building a reputation for strong performance chemistry and a wide musical range. Their long-standing collaboration has already generated anticipation for the unit’s debut, with fans expecting a refined blend of performance, energy and musical versatility.

The pair recently demonstrated their on-screen chemistry by starring together in the short-form drama WIND UP. The project achieved more than five million cumulative views within five days of its release, further increasing interest in their upcoming musical activities.

Further details, including promotional schedules and additional teasers, are expected to be released in the lead-up to the unit’s official debut.
