SEOUL, February 23 (AJP) - NCT members Jeno and Jaemin will debut as a new unit Monday evening in Korean time with the release of their first mini album “BOTH SIDES.”
The unit, NCT JNJM, will release their first mini album at 6:00 p.m. (0900 GMT) across major streaming platforms, alongside the music video for the title track "Both Sides" on the SMTOWN YouTube channel and other official platforms.
