NCT JNJM
NCT JNJM (엔시티 제노재민) is the first fixed duo sub-unit in the NCT franchise, comprising Jeno (Lee Je-no) and Jaemin (Na Jae-min) of NCT DREAM. SM Entertainment confirmed the unit on January 26, 2026, and the duo debuted on February 23, 2026 with their first mini-album, BOTH SIDES.
The six-track EP spans R&B, hyperpop, and high-energy rap, framing the duo as two contrasting forces who complement rather than clash. The title track "BOTH SIDES" set the tone with sleek choreography and a cinematic music video. The record debuted at No. 1 on iTunes charts in multiple territories within hours of release and the duo performed it live on 1theKILLPO days later to sustained fan response.
Jeno and Jaemin, both born in 2000, have been NCT DREAM members since the unit's 2017 inception. Their longstanding chemistry and decade of shared stage experience gave the sub-unit debut unusual coherence for a first release. NCT JNJM represents SM's continued expansion of the NCT multiverse with dedicated sub-units built around proven pairings rather than debut rosters.

What does NCT JNJM stand for?
NCT JNJM stands for NCT JENO JAEMIN. The unit name is read as 'NCT JeNo JaeMiN' and represents the pairing of NCT DREAM members Jeno (Lee Je-no) and Jaemin (Na Jae-min). SM Entertainment officially announced the sub-unit on January 26, 2026.
When did NCT JNJM debut?
NCT JNJM debuted on February 23, 2026, with their first mini-album BOTH SIDES, released at 6 PM KST. The six-track EP debuted at No. 1 on iTunes charts across multiple territories within hours of release. The title track was paired with a cinematic two-part music video series.
Who are the members of NCT JNJM?
NCT JNJM consists of two members: Jeno (Lee Je-no, born April 23, 2000) and Jaemin (Na Jae-min, born August 13, 2000). Both joined NCT DREAM at its 2017 inception and have an extensively documented off-stage friendship that preceded their formal unit debut by nearly a decade.
What is the BOTH SIDES EP about?
BOTH SIDES is a six-track EP built around duality as its central concept -- contrasting choices, competing personalities, and complementary forces. The album spans R&B, hyperpop, and high-energy rap, framing Jeno and Jaemin as foils who amplify each other. Jaemin co-wrote the B-side 'What It Is.'
Is NCT JNJM the first NCT duo sub-unit?
Yes. NCT JNJM is the first fixed duo sub-unit in the NCT franchise. While earlier units like NCT U, NCT 127, NCT DREAM, and WayV operate as distinct multi-member groups, JNJM marks the first time SM Entertainment formed a dedicated two-member NCT unit with its own releases and ongoing identity.
