NCT member Jungwoo is officially making his long-awaited solo debut, marking a significant milestone in his career seven years after his initial entry into the K-pop scene.
SM Entertainment confirmed on November 24, 2025, that Jungwoo will release his first solo single, “SUGAR,” on November 28 at 6 p.m. KST.
This sweet musical offering to his fans, known as NCTzens, is made even more special by the announcement that the single drop will coincide with his first-ever solo fan meeting, setting the stage for a major double celebration.
The Sweet Debut Single: “SUGAR” Details and Concept
The solo single “SUGAR” is being introduced as a vibrant and refreshing pop track, perfectly embodying the gentle yet amazing charm that Jungwoo is known for.
According to SM Entertainment, the song boasts a dynamic and groovy arrangement, characterized by a swingy drumbeat, a witty bassline, and a smooth, catchy melody.
The composition is designed to build momentum gradually, starting with a minimal sound and evolving into a sensually atmospheric track that highlights Jungwoo’s clear and crystalline vocal color.
The lyrical content of “SUGAR” is a heartfelt ode to his devoted fans. The song’s message is one of gratitude and affection, expressing Jungwoo’s sincere wish that all the moments shared with his fans—both those experienced in the past and the anticipation for future activities—will be perpetually sweet, just like sugar.

Teaser images released ahead of the debut further fueled anticipation, showcasing Jungwoo’s striking visuals, including a new, bright blue hair color, set against an imaginative, colorful backdrop often depicting an upside-down room and candy, visually emphasizing the track’s sweet and dreamy concept.
One teaser image even contained snippet lyrics, such as, “Sweet all mine / Starlight melts inside my mouth / Shining like your scent surrounds,” providing a glimpse into the pop number’s warm sensibility.
“Golden Sugar Time”: A Solo Launch Event
Making his solo debut an even more memorable event, Jungwoo will host his first solo fan meeting, titled “Golden Sugar Time,” on the very same day as the single release.
The fan meeting is scheduled for November 28 at the Ticketlink Live Arena (Handball Gymnasium) in Seoul Olympic Park, with two sessions held at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. KST.
This intimate event will serve as the official launch pad for his solo career.
It is anticipated that Jungwoo will use this platform to deliver the debut live performance of “SUGAR” for the first time, offering fans a unique opportunity to experience the new song and its choreography in person almost immediately upon its release.
The title “Golden Sugar Time” cleverly links the event back to his single, promising a precious and sweet time of interaction and celebration between the idol and his fanbase, who have patiently awaited his solo musical venture.
Jungwoo’s Journey: From Boss to Soloist
Jungwoo’s solo debut is the culmination of a successful and diverse career within the NCT framework.
He was first introduced to the public in 2017 as an SM Rookie and officially debuted in February 2018 as a member of the rotational unit NCT U with the powerful and popular single “Boss.”
His distinct vocal timbre and strong performance skills quickly established him as an essential member.
Later that year, he joined the fixed Seoul-based unit NCT 127, contributing significantly as a lead vocalist and dancer to their major domestic and international successes.
More recently, he achieved critical acclaim as a member of the sub-unit NCT DoJaeJung (alongside Doyoung and Jaehyun), which debuted in 2023 with the mini-album Perfume.
This unit further showcased Jungwoo’s sophisticated vocal ability and maturity in R&B and ballad genres.
Beyond group activities, Jungwoo also built public recognition as a charismatic host on the popular weekly music show Show! Music Core for two years, demonstrating his versatility as an all-around entertainer.
This deep and varied experience across different units, music genres, and broadcast roles has solidified his reputation as an “ace” performer, leading to high expectations for the unique sound and style he will showcase as a solo artist.
The simultaneous release of “SUGAR” and the “Golden Sugar Time” fan meeting sets the tone for a promising solo journey, satisfying the long-held wishes of fans who recognize Jungwoo’s immense vocal potential and charismatic stage presence.
The rookie group ALLDAY PROJECT is gearing up for a significant milestone in their career with the release of their first-ever EP, which is titled simply “ALLDAY PROJECT.”
On November 27 at midnight KST, the group raised anticipation among fans by revealing the official track list for the upcoming album, showcasing a diverse lineup of six tracks that strategically utilize the members’ collective and individual talents.
EP Composition: Six Tracks of Varied Sound
The self-titled EP is structured to offer a comprehensive look at the group’s musical identity, balancing full-group synergy with individual member spotlight.
The album will feature a total of six tracks, categorized as follows:
Three Full-Group Tracks: Half of the EP will feature all five members of ALLDAY PROJECT. These tracks include the previously released pre-release single “ONE MORE TIME” and the highly anticipated title track, “LOOK AT ME.” The inclusion of a third full-group track ensures that the central sound and performance power of ALLDAY PROJECT are clearly defined.
Two Unit Tracks: To showcase the chemistry and distinct musical flavors of smaller formations within the group, the EP includes two unit songs. Annie and Woochan will team up for the track “WHERE YOU AT,” promising a unique collaboration between the two members. Separately, Tarzzan and Bailey will join forces for the song titled “HOT,” which suggests a track with an intense or high-energy concept.
One Solo Track: The final track on the EP will be a solo piece, giving one member a unique platform to shine. The track “MEDUSA” is confirmed to be a solo song performed by member Tarzzan. This track is expected to allow Tarzzan to display his personal color and vocal or performance capabilities distinct from the group’s sound.
