    NCT’s Chenle achieves chart success with Chinese special album ‘Lucid’

    Chenle of NCT has achieved a new milestone in his solo career, with his Chinese special album ‘Lucid’ quickly dominating major music charts upon release. This success highlights Chenle’s growing influence as a solo artist, particularly in the Chinese music scene.

    Chenle achieves solo success with ‘Lucid’

    According to data from QQ Music, one of China’s largest music platforms, ‘Lucid’ by Chenle topped the digital album sales charts as soon as pre-orders began on April 28. The momentum continued after the album’s official release on May 5, with ‘Lucid’ maintaining its No. 1 position. The album’s title track also climbed to the top of QQ Music’s Chinese music video chart.

    A special album reflecting Chenle’s musical growth

    The special album ‘Lucid’ consists of three Chinese-language tracks: the title track “Lucid,” a remake of the drama “Meet and Greet’s” original soundtrack “Tear Bridge,” and “Cosmic Joke (feat. Ju Bi-chang).” The album is a collaborative project with Tencent Entertainment.

    The title track “Lucid” portrays a poignant message about finding a moment of brilliance after enduring loneliness. A dramatic string melody and Chenle’s soaring high notes heighten the song’s emotional depth. Fans can experience the visual storytelling of “Lucid” through the official music video, available on NCT and NCT DREAM’s YouTube channels.

    Upcoming activities

    While Chenle’s solo project continues to gain momentum, his group NCT DREAM is also preparing for major activities. SM Entertainment confirmed that NCT DREAM will release a new album in July 2025. Additionally, the group is set to hold its fourth solo concert at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul from July 10 to 12.

    Fans of both Chenle’s solo music and NCT DREAM’s group activities have much to look forward to in the coming months.
