After debuting as an idol group for many years, idol members tend to branch off and make solo debuts to pursue their style of music. Most recently, an idol member hinted at a potential solo debut, creating a buzz among fans.
NCT’s Haechan, who debuted in NCT in 2016, has been actively promoting both in NCT 127 and NCT DREAM. Fans have been anticipating the day of his solo debut for a while now. Not too long ago, he posted his thoughts about going solo.
There seem to be a lot of people who want to see solo activities from me. But for now, I enjoy team activities. So please wait a bit and I’ll see what I can do.
— Haechan
But it looks something may be coming as a recent fan video call event went viral as he talked about his solo activities.

“Fan: Do you have any like plans to release something, like solo next year or this year?
Haechan: Maybe next year?
Fan: Ok I’m waiting! I’m so excited for it.”
In a previous live broadcast, he also stated that he was waiting for the right timing to do it.
🥺🥺🥺

“Why is there so much talk about solo activities? I want to do solo activities, too, guys. But….of course, I will do it, I want to…but I want to be careful of the timing of when I want to do it. You can’t release a solo album just because you want to.
If I want to make an album that shows my best image, I must think a lot about it. You guys have already seen a lot, but you know I do things right. Don’t worry, I will do it for sure.”
— Haechan
Not long after, #해찬솔로 (#haechansolo) started trending online, as fans couldn’t believe the news.
Fans couldn’t contain their excitement as their dream for his solo debut would soon become a reality!
아니 그니까 내년 해찬 솔로가 진짜라는 거잖아 내년에 이해찬 솔로를 내가 볼 수 있다는 거잖아 아니 그니까 아니 어떳케 . . 너무 좋아서 공부가 손에 잡히질 않아요
