Mark of NCT shared plans to promote his first solo LP, “The Firstfruit,” via label SM Entertainment on Tuesday.

He will visit Japan next month and hold showcases in three cities: Nagoya on May 15, Osaka on May 18 and Yokohama on the following day. He will also perform on a series of music shows, including “Oneness” from music cable television network Music On! TV.

From next week, a pop-up store inspired by the album will open in Guangzhou, China. The store is a joint effort with China’s largest music platform QQ Music and will run until May 25.

The musician rolled out the 13-track LP last week and topped the iTunes Top Albums Chart in 17 regions. The album sold more than 540,000 copies in the first week, a record for a solo artist debut album from SM Entertainment.
