NCT's Doyoung, facing military enlistment, expressed gratitude to fans through music. Today (the 9th), he released the music video for his new single 'Promise' which shares the same title. The title track 'Promise' is an impressive ballad that builds emotional depth from a simple melody to strings. The lyrics, written by Doyoung, convey heartfelt emotions that become harder to express as love deepens, delivering a sincere and profound aftertaste. The music video, which cinematically depicts his feelings, uses a symbolic potted four-leaf clover to express unspoken words and the guilt of being apart for a while, embedding a message that even if they are separated, they will not forget each other through scenes of the changing seasons. Doyoung's single 'Promise' was released today at 6 PM on various music streaming sites. The single includes the title track 'Promise' and the included song 'Whistle (Feat. BELLE of KISS OF LIFE)', totaling two tracks.
