NCT DREAMโs youngest member JISUNG found a special way to connect with fans on his birthday. On February 5 at 8 PM KST, JISUNG debuted his first ever song cover on NCTโs YouTube Channel. He released a music video for a cover of IUโs โHeart.โ
A Love Letter to NCTzen
More commonly known for his top-notch dance skills, JISUNG flaunted his unique raspy tone in โHeart.โ His rendition of โHeartโ is led by a piano, which complements his baritone vocals.
To top off the heartwarming song, JISUNG dedicated the cover to NCTzen, NCTโs fans, in the music video. A similarly sweet message is in the description of the video, where JISUNG wrote, โThis is my heart and my gift for you.โ
The music video has a comfortable atmosphere, illustrated by videos of NCTโs youngest in a home-like setting with a series of photos and clips of him around the city. In this video, JISUNG mostly wears light tones with his (currently) platinum blonde hair. The video has scrapbook-like edits over the footage, which creates a nostalgic feeling.
Teasing Information on Bubble
JISUNG teased the song cover on LYSNโs bubble messenger. On February 4, he informed fans that he prepared a gift for them for his birthday, but he did not tell them what he did.
After the release of the song, JISUNG returned to bubble, where he gave his thanks to his fellow NCT DREAM members JENO and JAEMIN. According to JISUNG, JENO took pictures for him, while JAEMIN helped him select the song for his cover.
Fans Return JISUNGโs Love
In response to JISUNGโs cover, fans expressed their love for the cover and JISUNG on social media. The reactions ranged from appreciation of his talents to gratitude towards his gift.
NCT DREAM Coming Soon
JISUNGโs โHeartโ cover serves as a small treat ahead of the release of NCT DREAMโs upcoming album. In January, SM Entertainment announced that NCT DREAM will be returning with new music in March. Their new hairstyles have been revealed, but there are many more surprises ahead for the NCT subunit.
