Doyoung of NCT is officially preparing to take flight once again—this time with his highly anticipated second solo album, Soar.
Set for release on June 9 at 6 p.m. KST, the project marks Doyoung’s first solo comeback since his debut album, and fans are already buzzing over what promises to be an emotional and musically rich return.
The buildup to Soar began with a midnight announcement on May 19, revealing not only the album release date but also a flurry of promotional content.
Fans have since been treated to a cinematic “Wake From The Dark” intro video, a string of teaser images, and most recently, the official track list—each element contributing to the rising excitement.
With his signature soft vocals and expressive delivery, Doyoung has long been recognized for his emotional resonance, whether in group releases with NCT or solo performances.
The title Soar evokes themes of growth, freedom, and elevation—perhaps symbolizing his personal and artistic journey since his last solo release.
The concept hints at introspection and transformation, while maintaining the poetic charm that fans associate with Doyoung’s artistry.
Adding to the anticipation, Doyoung is also scheduled to perform at the prestigious Seoul Jazz Festival on June 1, offering a preview of his new material in a live setting.
His participation in the festival signals not only his vocal versatility but also his recognition as a solo artist beyond the K-pop stage.
Fans can look forward to an album that blends vulnerability with ambition, continuing to establish Doyoung as a compelling solo act within SM Entertainment’s roster.
As the June 9 release date approaches, Soar is shaping up to be more than just a musical offering—it’s a statement of artistic ascent.
