NCT Mark presents warm emotions through the Vancouver chapter of his first solo album.

Mark's first solo album The Vancouver chapter of "The First Fruit" is based on warm memories of a city as affectionate as his hometown, and includes songs with easy listening sensibilities, including "Raincouver" (Louger), "Watching TV" (Feat. Crush).

The track 'Loser' is a combination of two vintage-textured guitars and a chorus that adds loneliness to Mark's luscious vocals on a minimal sound consisting of only the bass, creating a unique atmosphere, and conveying delicate expression and sincere feelings through memories of love, wounds, and lyrics that calmly reflect on themselves.




Inspired by R&B in the 90s, 'Watching TV (Feat. Crush)' is an impressive song with lyrics that unfolds the narrative as Mark becomes a screenwriter and writes a movie, and the rhythmic rap adds a dreamy atmosphere, and Crush's rich and emotional vocals, featuring, give you the ecstasy of falling into a movie on TV.

The teaser image of 'Righteous' (Reachers), released on NCT's official SNS at midnight on the 31st, caught the eye by revealing Mark's unique presence that shines everywhere through a witty concept.

Mark's first solo album 'The First Fruit' will be released on various music platforms at 6 p.m. on April 7, containing a total of 13 songs, including the title song '1999' (Ilgu-gu).
