Lee Tae-yong was born on July 1st, 1995, in Seoul, South Korea. He is better known by his mononym Taeyong. He is a singer, rapper, dancer, songwriter, and composer of South Korea. He is a member and leader of the South Korean boy group NCT, and his subunits are NCT U and NCT 127 under the management of SM Entertainment.
Taeyong is the leader of NCT 127 but it seems that many believe he is also the overall NCT leader. His past, which became the talk of netizens, made him careful so as not to cause problems for the group. He also knows when to joke and when to be serious.
Taeyong is called the Tsundere type leader. This type is a leader whose appearance is cold outside, but so warm in his heart. SM Entertainment has Taeyong, other members also say that Taeyong is a very Tsundere figure. Behind his cold appearance like ice, Taeyong really knows how to pay attention to members and love the maknae.
When their youngest subunit, NCT Dream whose members are younger than him was filming their official MV, he knew very well that they needed support. He deliberately came to encourage and play with them. He knows the position that he is a leader and hyung (older brother) for them.
On the NCT Life variety show, it was very noticeable that he was a resolute leader, but he was melted by the innocence of WinWin, smiling by Yuta and Doyoung’s savage and respecting Taeil. And he revived the atmosphere with his ‘deadly’ aegyo (acting cute).
Because NCT is a group with a large number of members, on various occasions he seems to always count the number of members so that none of them are ‘lost’.
Aside from attention to the members, Taeyong is one of the keys to NCT’s success. Because Taeyong and Mark are members who often help in making NCT albums. Taeyong shows that age does not prevent him from expanding his abilities in music. Among them are Mad City, Peace of Mind, Angel, Back 2 U, Baby Don’t Like It, The 7th Sense, Open the Door, Switch, Fire Truck, Good Thing, Cherry Bomb, Running 2 U, 0 Mile, Whiplash, Summer 127, Boss and much more.
