NCT’s Jaehyun releases ‘Unconditional’

The English-language R&B track, co-written by Jaehyun, follows his acclaimed debut solo album

NCT vocalist Jaehyun releases his tantalizing new R&B single “Unconditional” via SM Entertainment.

The funky, rhythmic bassline is a sumptuous continuation of the K-pop star’s acclaimed debut solo albumJ—The 1st Album, which arrived this summer. The album showcased his love of classic R&B and smooth jazz. Co-written and co-composed by Jaehyun as a gift to fans, the playful English-language track doubles as a love letter to his artistic influences and a display of unconditional love for someone special.

Already renowned as a standout vocalist in K-pop, Jaehyun firmly established himself as a solo artist to watch this summer with the release of J – The 1st Album. The release marked the highest first-week album sales for an SM Entertainment solo artist in 2024, with fans and critics raving about the cohesive story Jaehyun crafted across the eight tracks.

This weekend, fans will have the opportunity to hear these songs live as Jaehyun holds his first solo fan concert, the 2024 Jaehyun Fan-Con, in Seoul. The concert will be live-streamed to a global audience on Beyond live on October 27th at 16:00 KST.

As a member of K-pop powerhouse NCT, including sub-units NCT 127 and NCT Dojaejun, Jaehyun’s music catalog is prolific, spanning the latest album as well as solo tracks like “Forever Only.”
