Taeyong was born in Seoul, South Korea. He has been a very clever boy ever since his childhood. He is a good speaker, and for this, he has the ability to be the leader of NCT.

He also earned remarkable marks in his school, as he was very attentive in his class. He liked to join cultural programs and his teachers liked him very much for his active participation.

Growing up had an interest in learning guitar, so he started to practice at the age of 11.

But opposite to his "model student" persona, he was quite problematic on the Internet. In 2009, he made racist remarks about Japanese people online and he also scammed people by selling fake products. He has since owned up to his past mistakes and is deeply sorry for them, making him an even better leader and brother to the rest of NCT.

On August 7, 2019 SM Entertainment announced that a new boy group would be forming that October. The group would be called SuperM and would be promoting in both Korea and the United States. The group consists of SHINee's Taemin, EXO members Baekhyun and Kai, and NCT members Taeyong, Mark, Ten, and Lucas

On March 15 2021, Taeyong opened his own SoundCloud account and released a new demo single Dark Clouds and Dark Clouds (Remix).
