Taeyong co-wrote four songs for NCT 127's first studio album, Regular-Irregular, including lead single "Regular". The song was initially released in English and Korean[24] but later also served as the debut single of NCT's Chinese sub-unit, WayV.[25]

In March 2020, NCT 127 released their second studio album, Neo Zone, in which Taeyong participated in co-writing three tracks for the album.[33] It was commercially successful and debuted at number five on the US Billboard 200, selling more than one million copies in South Korea together with its repackage, Neo Zone: The Final Round.[34] [35] Later that year, SuperM released their first studio album, Super One, for which Taeyong co-wrote the song "Together At Home".[36] In September 2020, NCT's second group-wide project, NCT 2020: Resonance, was announced, and Taeyong was confirmed as the leader of the group as a whole.[37]

2021–present: Solo activities and soloist debut

In March 2021, Taeyong started his own SoundCloud account and released a self-written demo single "Dark Clouds" and its remix.[38] Since then, he released several demo singles such as "GTA1" and "GTA2", "Blue", "Monroe" (featuring Baekhyun of Exo), "Rose" (featuring Seulgi of Red Velvet) and "Swimming Pool" on the platform. "Dark Clouds" won the Top Comments Award at the SoundCloud 2021 Playback Awards, with the most fan comments in a single week on the platform in 2021.[39] Taeyong served as a judge on Korean dance survival reality show Street Woman Fighter in August the same year, which gained significant popularity nationwide.[40] He later appeared as a guest judge on the program's spin-off, Street Dance Girls Fighter, together with fellow NCT member Mark.[41] Taeyong co-wrote the title track for NCT 127's third studio album Sticker released in September 2021, which went on to become the best-selling album in SM Entertainment history. He was credited as a choreographer and lyricist on the special album , having worked on the track "Zoo".

In March 2022, Taeyong participated as a feature in Suran's song "Diamond" from her EP Flyin' Part 1.[42] Taeyong later announced the opening of his YouTube channel TY Track,[43] where he then released performance videos throughout the year for his song "Lonely" featuring Suran and "Ghost".[44] On April 14, Taeyong released his official second single "Love Theory" in collaboration with Wonstein through SM Station, in which he participated in the songwriting.[45] Taeyong joined another Mnet's dance reality show Any Body Can Dance as the MC, which premiered in June 2022.[46]
