NCT JNJM Begins Unit Debut Countdown With Schedule Poster for First Mini Album ‘BOTH SIDES’

NCT JNJM, the new unit consisting of Jeno and Jaemin, has officially kicked off its debut countdown with the release of a schedule poster for its first mini album ‘BOTH SIDES’, signaling the start of full scale unit promotions.

A Structured Rollout Leading to Unit Debut

At midnight on February 3, SM Entertainment unveiled the schedule poster through NCT’s official social media channels. The image immediately drew attention with its creative concept, depicting release dates being printed one by one from a photocopier. Combined with visually striking objects, the poster hints at the narrative and duality that NCT JNJM plans to explore through its debut album.

According to the released schedule, NCT JNJM will begin its promotional rollout on February 7 with an image trailer. This will be followed by a series of teaser images presenting varied moods, a story trailer, and teaser images and videos for the title track’s music video. The gradual reveal strategy is designed to build anticipation while introducing the unit’s conceptual direction step by step.

‘BOTH SIDES’ and the Jeno–Jaemin Dynamic

The debut mini album ‘BOTH SIDES’ will consist of six tracks, including the title song of the same name. The album is expected to highlight not only the individual colors of Jeno and Jaemin, but also the balance and chemistry they create together as a unit.

As longtime members of NCT DREAM, the two artists have already demonstrated strong teamwork and complementary strengths on stage. With ‘BOTH SIDES’, attention is now focused on how that synergy will translate into a more concentrated unit format, allowing both contrast and harmony to coexist within a single musical narrative.

Rising Expectations for NCT’s New Unit Chapter

NCT JNJM’s debut marks a new chapter within the NCT universe, expanding the group’s unit-based structure while spotlighting two members with a well established global fanbase. The concept implied by the album title duality, perspective, and balance has already sparked discussion among fans, particularly following the symbolic imagery used in the schedule poster.

Release Details

NCT JNJM’s first mini album ‘BOTH SIDES’ will be released on February 23 at 6 p.m. KST across major music platforms. Physical albums will also be made available on the same day, officially marking Jeno and Jaemin’s debut as a unit and setting the stage for their first chapter together.
