NCT JNJM, composed of Jeno and Jaemin from SM Entertainment, officially debuted as a new unit on the 23rd with their first mini album 'BOTH SIDES.' The duo will hold a 'NCT JNJM BOTH SIDES' Countdown Live' at 4:30 PM today on YouTube and TikTok's NCT channel, sharing album introductions, production behind-the-scenes content, and their debut impressions. Jeno expressed, "I'm delighted to present a quality result that repays the long wait of our fans," adding, "Please look forward to the new sides of ourselves we'll show going forward." Jaemin stated, "Given the long time we've spent together, our chemistry is perfect itself," describing the album as capturing "sexiness and cuteness, as well as elegance and charm without missing any details." During album production, Jeno focused on presenting the main theme of 'duality' both visually and musically, paying careful attention to vocal and rap details during recording. Jaemin emphasized, "I thought the concept flowing through the entire album was most important and spent considerable time on it from the planning stage," working to enhance completion in both visual and musical aspects. Unlike group albums, since the duo had to fill what seven members usually do, their individual roles became significantly larger. They concentrated more on time distribution and physical conditioning management as their involvement in album production increased overall.
