Taeyong’s talent and hard work have not gone unnoticed. He has been recognized with prestigious awards, including two K Global Heart Dream Awards in 2023 and being featured in Billboard’s 2024 K-pop Artist 100 list. As he continues to push boundaries and captivate audiences worldwide, Taeyong’s star is undoubtedly rising.

Marc Allenby, CEO of Trafalgar Releasing, said, “It’s a great pleasure to collaborate with CJ 4DPlex and SM Entertainment once again to bring NCT’s Taeyong to cinemas worldwide in his own solo project. Having previously released two NCT-related projects on the big screen – 2022’s NCT Dream The Movie In A DREAM and 2023’s “NCT Nation: To The World In Cinemas” – we understand the passion, deep commitment and global reach of the NCTzen fanbase. Following a hugely successful year for Taeyong, we are excited to offer his fans the opportunity to collectively experience his first solo concert tour in cinemas across the globe.”

Jun Bang, Chief Content Officer at CJ 4DPLEX, expressed excitement about bringing Taeyong’s first solo concert to theaters worldwide. “Over the past few years, Taeyong has established himself as a leading solo artist in K-pop,” he said.
