SM Entertainment Stars Dominate Charts with Solo Releases: Red Velvet's Seulgi, NCT's Ten and Mark, EXO's Kai Lead the Charge

SM Entertainment's solo artists are currently making a significant impact on the music charts, with a series of releases from its roster of talented performers. Red Velvet's main dancer, Seulgi, kicked things off with her second mini-album, 'Accidentally on Purpose', on the 10th. This album showcases a broader musical spectrum and new possibilities for Seulgi, featuring a variety of genres and emotions. Her title track, 'Baby, Not Baby', delivers a bold message about staying true to oneself, complemented by her signature performance skills.

Following Seulgi, NCT's Ten is set to release his second mini-album, 'Stunner', on the 24th, marking his return to solo activities after a year and a month. The title track is an R&B pop song that highlights Ten's rhythmic and delicate vocals, along with a sleek rap tone. NCT's Mark has also confirmed the release of his first solo full album on April 7th, a significant milestone since his debut with NCT U in 2016. Known for his active participation across NCT's various subunits, Mark's solo album is highly anticipated for showcasing a different side of the main rapper and dancer.

EXO's Kai, recently discharged from military service, announced his comeback with a new mini-album aimed for April release. Kai, known for his unique style in tracks like 'Mmmh', 'Peaches', and 'Rover', will also embark on a solo concert tour across 10 Asian cities starting May. Additionally, NCT's Doyoung is expected to release a solo album in the first half of the year, adding to the fierce competition among SM's solo artists.

Industry insiders note that SM Entertainment stands out for the prolific solo activities of its idol group members, allowing them to reveal individual charms not always visible in group settings. This strategy not only extends the artists' careers but also broadens their musical horizons, receiving positive feedback from fans and critics alike.
