NCT’s Jaehyun has released the video for the first single from his just released solo debut album. J – The first albumwhich is now available digitally and on all streaming platforms. The singer also released the focus track “Smoke” in English and Korean, a slinky R&B jam whose video finds the K-pop star battling an invisible enemy.

The black-and-white clip, which came out on Monday (August 26), begins with Jaehyun locking himself in his apartment, covering all of his devices’ cameras and sealing the front door with tape as he breaks out into a dance routine with his crew, singing, “Just like dimming lights/ Sun is going down/ Traffic lights turn green/ When you hit the dial/ Yeah I got the, I got the, I got the, I got the/ Smoke.”

Then things get surreal as he is swallowed by the cushions during a fitful nap on the couch and flung in a watery mess into a colorful world where he floats from the top of a skyscraper to the ground. Back on solid ground, a third dance number paves the way for a final soft-shoe dance down the hallway, performed by a version of the star in a white suit, while his doppelgänger continues to writhe on the couch and stare gloomily at the ceiling.

“Smoke” is the third song fans have heard from the eight-track album, which includes “Flamin’ Hot Lemon,” “Completely,” “Easy,” and “Can’t Get You,” as well as the previously released singles “Dandelion” and “Roses”; the collection includes both a Korean and English version of “Smoke.”
