#i'm a sucker for nct 127

MTL to have a breeding kink - (NCT 127 edition)

with motivations because why not author's note: don't mind me just making a subtle comeback after what feels like eons. :)

most

JEFFERY (jaehyun) Haechan Yuta

Johnny Doyoung

Mark Jungwoo Taeyong

Taeil

least

Jaehyun - literally thinks it's the most romantic thing ever. For him the purpose isn't necessarily like, to mark you or anything but def feels like it brings you two closer. I feel like Jeff- sorry... Jaehyun thinks it's somewhat of a bonding thing. It's a really sweet and sentimental act for him.

he's also well aware you're on birth control but part of him hopes you can start a family soon cuz he's down with that shit or whatever🥺

Haechan

Genuinely just because he's freaky as fuck! Like the first time you do it without a condom, he def ends up over-stimming you and himself because of how fucking good it feels. Like when I tell you this man is whipped for your pussy, I mean it.

Kinky ass bitch (smh)

Yuta

As sweet of a partner as he can be, this man is the literal devil in the bedroom. So fucking possessive and it's kinda hot iwl. Like he's territorial to a fault. If you were to go to a friend's party or something with him, he's fine with you living your life but when somebody starts getting a little too comfy while chatting you up and see you entertaining them purely for comedic purposes so you can have a good laugh back home with yuta at how terrible the persons attempt at picking you up was, he's fuming. Politely pulling you aside into the host's guest bathroom and fucking the shit out of you. Takes your panties and gives you a little kiss telling you to keep it all in so that when your little friend chats you up and it starts dripping you'll be a humiliated mess and it's all because of Yuta.

Talk about a sadist...

Johnny

Now he may seem like such a gentleman, heck that's why your parents are so fond of him. If only they knew what really went on in his mind. This guy has an array of freaky shit he's into but his absolute favourite has got to be filling you up. Absolutely loves the face you make when you feel his warmth in you. Thinks you're so cute. He's also a sucker for the absolute mess he makes of you. "C'mon baby, you heard your parents, we can't keep 'em waiting any longer for a grandchild. Now, be a good girl and take it". He knows you're absolutely whipped for him when he hears you babbling on about carrying his kinds and whatnot.

What a menace

Doyoung

Wowwww, he just likes the absolute thrill of it. The thought of him knocking you up turns him on to no end. Can't help but get all giddy at the thought of having a family with you. And he acts like he's a nonchalant mf but can't wait to see the day you become a mommy.

aww he's such a sweetie

Mark

He finds it so hot cumming in you but is shit scared of actually getting you pregnant since you guys are still pretty young. Probably won't fuck you raw as often as any of the guys above him on the ranks but still finds it nice. He thinks it's like cute and when you guys raw dog it (I'm so sorry I realise how goofy that sounds💀) he gets all soft (not literally) but he's all cuddly and likes staying in you for a while and just lays atop of you and wraps you in such a warm embrace after. "M-Mark... baby you can get out now." "Just one more minute, you're so nice and warm"

he's such a big baby... emphasis on big👀

Jungwoo

Now don't get him wrong, he finds it so sexy and definitely gets the hype of fucking raw. but... it really doesn't do anything for him. Like he's not doing it to claim you or knock you up but purely because if it's shit you're into then he'll do it to make you happy.

aww gosh darn it, c'm'ere sweet baby.

Taeyong

He'd rather cum on your boobies. He's such a titties man Like, I know we're moving more into an ass or titties type mtl but he's not about that. Besides, he's already your baby. why would you want another?🥺🥺

damn it now i'm all soft...

Taeil

My man is not about that 24/7 babysitting life. Bitch has it hard as is, babysitting the neos from 9 to 5. When he gets home, he'd rather it just be you and him against the wall- I mean world.🤭

[hamliet]

Can I ask, what songs that come to your mind when you think of Atsushi/ Akutagawa? Also, can you think of any other couple that the dynamics remind you of shin soukoku?

I'm a sucker for enemies to lovers, so. Any ship with enemies to lovers is my jam. It's the best trope and so often it's just... oh no this person stepped on my toe. No, I want attempted murder and hatred and repression and trauma and a sharp sense of oh, this person understands me in a way I don't want anyone to understand.

Well obviously soukoku have a lot in common with Shin Soukoku. Otherwise, Rey and Kylo from Star Wars, Chrollo and Kurapika in HxH (not canon but their dynamic even if never romantic has a lot in common), Cobra and Murayama from High&Low (less enemies, but a definite antagonism turned into confusion about what the other one has that one doesn't, only for the journey to b e realizing that relying only on physical strength isn't enough--very, very Akuatsu).

Songs... again, I'm bad with this. But this song "Break Into the Dark" from High&Low definitely fits, "Sun & Moon" and "End to Start" by NCT 127, and although it's less about the ship and more about their mindsets, Nathan Wagner's "Lonely." Oh, and Chptr's "Last Chance."

[hotasfahrenheit]

So you wanna get into NCT, eh?

Part 3 - NCT 127 - More MVs and Social Media Links

Oh hey I'm finally back. It's been more than a day but life happens and it's only been like two days... or so? (it's been three) but let's get back into this!

So last time we covered a little bit about the members of the group and then I linked some MVs. I realised something I could have done there was link some social media accounts so let's do that!

There are general accounts for NCT on most of the big social media services such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. There are also accounts for all of the subgroups, so NCT 127 does have their own accounts on all of those as well. I feel like the Youtube content deserves its own post so I'll get to that but 127 does have a Youtube channel as well.

The individual members share things like the Twitter and Instagram accounts on and off, taking turns sometimes to post on there, tho most posts are from the company. Facebook gets posts from the company and not from individuals very often. The boys do all have their own Instagram accounts tho, and they also all use Bubble to varying degrees, which is an app which a lot of kpop groups use where fans can pay to access special posts from idols that include text posts, pictures, voice recordings, etc. I have never been a Bubble user, but I follow everyone on Instagram so here's all of those:

Taeil | Taeyong | Johnny | Yuta | Doyoung | Jaehyun | Winwin | Jungwoo | Mark | Haechan

You can use those to become more familiar with the members and see some of the nonsense they get up to. Some of them post often and some post almost never so your mileage may vary with them as a tool, but I'm a sucker for personal social media accounts so I'm clearly following those all.

It's also worth throwing out there since I skipped talking about positions last time that Taeyong is the leader of both NCT 127 and also of NCT in general. He's also a main rapper, main dancer, visual, center, helps write and produce music and has since The 7th Sense was released, etc etc, you name it, he's probably done the thing. He's ridiculously talented, basically. (They all are.) I could list everyone's positions but there's tons of wiki pages and etc with those kinds of lists and I find them to be less helpful when you have a group like NCT where everyone kinda does everything a lot of the time and has multiple talents and jobs since the rappers might be singing or the vocalists might be rapping depending on the song and literally everyone is a visual etc. But that's part of why you might be noticing that Taeyong is front and center like... a lot. Very often. He's recognisable and has a distinctive voice and being the leader is a good extra excuse to focus on him.

Anyway, let's get back to the music! I somehow managed to come up with ten more videos to link to hit the max per post so you're getting another full variety tasting of 127's style and range with a special treat at the end.

Favorite (Oct 25, 2021) was the lead single from the repackage of Sticker and was not quite as divisive as Sticker but still a bit weird. Released right before Halloween, there's a whole vampire concept going on (GREAT) and the MV and live stage performances all have a weird electronic dance break 2 1/2 minutes in (BAD) that I am PLEASED TO TELL YOU is not part of the song on the actual album. The first time I watched the MV it threw me for such a hard loop that I almost hated disliked the song but when I listened to the album later on spotify I was like "wait it's gone!!!! it was all just a bad dream!!!" and I try to forget it until I do something like watch the MV to make a post like this.

We're gonna mix in some of 127's Japanese releases today starting with their first one, Chain (May 8, 2018) off their first Japanese mini album. Despite NCT's initial plan to have groups based in different countries and markets, they are still now in early 2024 only ABOUT to have their first Japan-centric subunit debut, which means that they've just been having 127 (and Dream) release some stuff in Japanese in the meantime. It helps that they have a Japanese member. Anyway Chain is just a great song so here it is.

gimme gimme (Feb 15, 2021) suffers a little from the eternal problem of kpop songs even in primarily Japanese having some.... wild? English lyrics (spicy disease? dead clowns? who wrote these lyrics? why did their native English speakers go along with this?) but despite the nonsense it's a catchy, mesmerizing earworm of a song with a tight MV with a lot of neat cuts and transitions and I have watched it VERY MANY times. I love it. Spicy disease and all.

In the first main NCT intro post I included WayV's version of Regular (October 8, 2018) and linked both this and the Korean version. I was going to include the Korean version and just link the English here since the Korean one is the one that I personally listen to the most, but then I noticed that the English version has like 66 million more views so I decided to reverse that and you get the English one. Anyway. All versions of Regular are great and the English version has some great weird lyrics too ("I be walking with the cheese that's the queso" is like... ultimate. Incredible. A+. How did Jaehyun record that without laughing? Legendary.). It's also, with Simon Says, one of the only MVs that has all ten members of NCT 127. It also has a CGI tiger, shiny cars, rockets going off, Winwin jumping off a building, there's just a lot going on.

Sliding back to Japan for a minute, I feel like I should include Wakey Wakey (March 18, 2019). I almost forget this song exists sometimes and I think it's because I just want to block out having seen the absolutely terrible wig they put on Johnny for this MV. Seriously why? The song itself is solidly in the weird but also very catchy lane that 127 does so well but I just keep thinking about the wig. Johnny had some long extensions for NCT 2020 that looked great on him, but this wig was just not it. My eyes are drawn to it every time he's on screen. I need to put this into my regular listening-only playlists and let my brain block that wig out the way I forget the dance break in Favorite exists.

127 started 2023 off with Ay-Yo (Jan 30, 2023) which was the (somewhat delayed) repackage of 2 Baddies, which we'll get to in a moment. I wasn't sure what to think of Ay-Yo at first but it has definitely grown on me despite having veered back into some questionable hair territory mainly for Taeyong (and I say that as a grown up late 90s punk kid who thought giant hair spikes were cool). The MV has some absolutely wild visuals mixed in, and the song is definitely outside of the realm of standard kpop releases even if it's not as weird as some others like Sticker. It's solid.

Okay so. Like. I honestly didn't really pay enough attention to the general reactions to 2 Baddies (Sep 15, 2022) to tell you how divisive this song was to most people, but it split one of my group chats VERY strongly and one of my friends has refused to listen to any 127 releases since then because she hates this song so much. I tried to get her with Fact Check at the very least and she's so anti this song that she still refused and I may have lost her on 127 altogether 🤣 It's mainly the chorus that she dislikes, and I'm a little back and forth on it myself sometimes honestly but also I have absolutely BLASTED this song while driving down the highway so it feels kinda like a guilty pleasure song sometimes. If you ignore the chorus the other parts of the song are so goooooooood and no one can deny that the last part of the bridge slaps. Plus there's a whole lot of shirtless Johnny and Yuta which you can never go wrong with.

Touch (Mar 13, 2018) is a little off from the style of kpop that I listen to regularly since it's a bit more in the bubbly poppy side of things that I don't always go for but the vibes are immaculate and everyone looks so happy in the MV and there's fuzzy sweaters and everyone smiles so much? It's hard to not love it. It's fluff and cheery and delightful.

I don't know if SM actually started the "track video" trend (short MVs that have an edited, cut down version of a song so they cost less to produce than a full MV- Lemonade is 3:10 on the Sticker/Favorite album, but this track video is 2:01 for instance) but they love doing them with NCT, and despite Lemonade (Sep 9, 2021) definitely deserving a full MV, since it wasn't the lead single it didn't get one but it did at least get a track video and was performed a lot on the music shows when they were promoting Sticker. It's catchy and has some clever work in the full version lyrics that involve titles of other NCT 127 songs and I've listened to it as much as or possibly more than Sticker.

I've covered all of the lead singles and there ARE some other track videos or special release songs like the recent Be There For Me that I could be using the last slot for but you know what? We're gonna go fully off the expected path and include Let's Shut Up & Dance (Feb 21, 2019) instead because it's wild and fun. 127 doesn't do much besides sing part of the chorus and do a bunch of dancing in this (on the ceiling? on the walls? in an alley?) but like. Lay is here too and the song is SO fun and an absolute bop so that's what we're closing this post out with.

So that wraps the NCT 127 music videos! I'm thinking the next post and the last of the 127 centric ones will be a guide to some of their Youtube content, since there's a whole lot, and that'll kinda set up expectations for the posts about Dream and WayV as well when we get to them. I think after I get through the main posts of MVs and content for all of the sub-units that I might do some special posts of performance videos for songs that don't have MVs just to get some of those out there, or I might just post a bunch of links to them. We'll see how I'm feeling and if my audience of like two or three people has any kind of preference (that's you, hey, yeah you, lemme know what you want from me).

This post is the third in a series of posts introducing new fans to NCT in a way that makes sense, by getting familiar with one subgroup at a time before moving on to the next. Linked down at the bottom is the intro post, and the rest will be linked as they're added.

Dedicated as ever to @catatonicrainbow and @poetry-protest-pornography 💖

— bias tag game *ੈ✩‧₊˚

rules: you're going to pick 10 of your biases (or as many biases as you have and then fill in the rest of the spots with idols you like) and number them 1-10. then answer the questions below! try not to look at the questions before you make your list! (thank you sm for the tag @jeonwon-wonwoo !!)

my bias list (in no particular order, my biases + a few idols i'm just fond of :)

kun (wayv)

woodz (soloist)

haechan (nct)

lee know (skz)

baekhyun (exo)

woozi (svt)

wonho (soloist)

seungkwan (svt)

dino (svt)

--

1. between 7 and 5, who did you bias first?

baekhyun - he's the bias of the friend who got me into kpop, so i'm obligated to love him <3

2. between 2 and 6, who are you more attached to?

woozi! i adore him, he's so dedicated and talented and goofy and goodhearted and full of enough love to fill a stadium. he's so important to me. <3

3. if you were to spend the day with either 3 or 1, who would you choose and what would you do?

i would probably choose to spend the day with kun. he has so many skills that we could probably do just about anything lol, but i think something a little quieter would be best. maybe we could cook together? i tend not to cook very complicated meals, so i think i'd enjoy working with him to make something a little more impressive :)

4. what is your favorite physical feature about 9?

chenle - huge smile that scrunches up his whole face <3

5. what is your favorite part of 6's personality?

i mentioned it in the second question, but woozi's actions are so steeped in love that it honestly makes me emotional dsnlfkj. it's the way he writes for the members and laughs so loud at their ridiculous jokes and says without hesitation that they're his everything. he's just so good.

6. if you were to tell 8 anything you wanted, what would you tell them?

seungkwan...i think i would tell him how grateful i am for him, and how strong he's been, and how much i admire him for taking time to care for himself, and how happy i am to have him back. and that he works so hard and i wonder how he does it sometimes, and that i hope he knows how important and loved he is.

7. between 1 and 2, whose closet would you raid?

probably kun's, if we're talking about overall styles (like how the stylists dress them jdskfsl). woodz is often dressed a little more adventurously than i think i'd be able to handle LOL

8. what is a style that you want to see 3 try?

i'm drawing SUCH a blank right now 😭 he's been styled so many different ways between 127 and dream, but i'm a sucker for soft looks/pastels, so i think that would be my answer.

9. between 5 and 4, who are you closer to in height?

lee know~ i'm still shorter than he is, but closer than to baekhyun lol.

10. between 10 and 9, whose music do you like the best?

it's gotta be dino! i'm so hyped for seventeenth heaven <3

(anon who asked about dancers) i asked out of sheer curiosity but i rly liked ur answer & ur reasoning behind it! completely agree on ten also, i haven't seen much of him because i'm very casually into nct (and i mostly lean towards 127 at that) but whenever i come across a wayv/nct u performance my eyes neverrrr leave him, he's like hypnotizing to watch dance. i watched the birthday dance practice multiple times and i'm never not in awe of his fluidity like he dances as if physics bend to his will. even with how little ik about him i've always thought he's very overlooked in these conversations lol and funnily enough i've been dreaming of a hoshi/ten collab for a while, even if just for a stage i think they'd complement each other so well

ten is sooooooo so good. even before i became a fan of nct, i used to watch a video essay on his dancing all the time because i love his flow of movements and his range as well. the way he covers an entire stage by himself is one of a kind because he makes it look so fluid while executing it on such a high level, especially considering his influences are so wide-ranging. i love when he mixes more lyrical stuff with the hip-hop choreos he gets with wayv or on his own, he bridges the gaps between what those styles look like separately beautifully. also next to hoshi he's one of the few who really extends all his lines entirely, down to the hands (looking at you kpop bgs) and it just always looks so clean and i am sucker for that.

i truly think he's a genius when it comes to stage craft. even if the songs aren't super outstanding, his choreos and performances make them outstanding. that is the mark of him being a dancer rather than solely being an idol to me. nightwalker and birthday are great because he's performing them, not because the music is innovative or ground-breaking. i love everything he does and i want to see him go far as a soloist even besides wayv.

and YES hoshi and ten dancing together would be something i'd pay good money to see.

[qazastra]

rain drop, no clue, and gas represent some of the best that 127 has to offer in style and execution. i think that even my least favorite bsides (time capsule, suddenly, meaning of love) have real merit and i don't skip them! i dance along!

i find walk to be a good song, if a somewhat underwhelming title track without one of those jaw-dropping moments about 1 or 2/3 of the way through the song that i've come to expect from nct at this point and at a relatively slow pace, but if it had been a bside and gas had been the tt (as taeyong wanted, i hear) it would have been a really good bside (track reviews below because i decided to write those for some reason)

wall to wall........ WE ARE SO BACK. disappointing and unnecessary use of AI in the track video aside, this song is incredible. welcome back nct intros!!!!!!!! once again!!!!!!!!!!!! this is a STUNNER. idk much about hip hop but i didn't believe mark's comment that this album would include 'high quality hip-hop' until i heard wall to wall.

ALSO I FORGOT TO MENTION SOME TRULY UNFORTUNATE USE OF AAVE IN WALK... WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'LL "BE BUSSIN" im LOSING IT

no clue is excellent. sorry to everyone but i am a sucker for ty starting off a song. and the way it switches up to the Singers and then back to taeyong's particular tone and then doyoung again... and YUTA is there. SINGING. HI. i would say it's cinema but it's Music. instrumental never loses my interest.

i've heard some people dislike orange seoul which baffles me tbh???? but to each their own. it's melodic, makes interesting use of half-steps (if i remembered what the hell that word actually means), reminds me of pharcyde and i love it. also perfect combination of rapping and singing. thank you for this producer HUMBLER whoever u are

pricey is so fun it makes me want-- no, need-- to bop my head along. the chorus is really catchy i can imagine this going hard at a concert. piano reminds me of the bounciness of elevator 127

time capsule is sweet. it's simply an enjoyable chill feel-good song

can't help myself i definitely enjoyed it from the start i just didnt know what to do with it because i can hear so many (what sounds like) nods to cheesy 00s/10s pop ballads... but i like it???? maybe the closest thing to a classic sm ballad on the record. haechan and jaehyun (i believe) elevate this for real, along with the harmonies. last minute of the song is Singers who Sing. and johnny ofc. we need him

rain drop is sooooo goooooooooooood it reminds me a bit of misty and time lapse. bridge is so fun to listen to

gas is even better than no clue, it's kind of a shame it comes so late on the tracklist but i love that it shows up after rain drop. very 127, swaggering (what a dumb word soooo sorry im just having fun here i promise) along the swung horn percussion with an earned confidence some ppl will find it grating, obviously, but would it be a 127 signature track if that wasn't the case? it sounds like it follows directly from 2 baddies and fact check and by GOD it should have been the title track. walk does not have the gravitas! i'm sorry it just doesn't GAS SOUNDS SO GOOD

suddenly is fine: one of 127's brighter and less experimental songs overall, but interesting enough for me to still actively enjoy. the way the chorus drags around is v satisfying esp right after the prechorus. the brass is great

meaning of love is the one song that does not sound like it necessarily belongs on the album. it sounds to me like a better version of road trip (a song i don't really like) and i actually enjoy it, even if it doesn't stick out as being terribly good and i probably won't add it to any of my playlists.

and that's all. please check out walk the 6th album by nct 127

the low points on walk feel a lot higher than the low points on several other 127 albums

[2:21] You woke up to the ping noise on your phone. You rubbed your eyes to adjust to the bright light and opened your message app to see a flurry of texts from your bf!Haechan.

[2:20] My King 👑💖: I got a dig bick

[2:21] My King 👑💖: Wait I messed up

[2:21] My King 👑💖: Ignore that

[2:23] My King 👑💖: Babe, are you ignoring me

[2:23] My King 👑💖: plz don’t hate me 🥺 ily. i’ll buy you coffee in the morning

You chuckled to yourself for a couple of seconds and then sent your response. 

[2:24] Me: continue that sentence later 😉

[2:24] Me: that coffee is a deal. Now go to bed, it’s laTE 😫

[2:25] Me: also, I love you more 😘

At this, Haechan fell back in his bed giggling while holding his phone. Let’s just say that he couldn’t sleep that night and drove to your house early in the morning with coffee and other promises 🥴

[flowerboyyoonbin]

[4:55pm] you drop your grocery bags onto the ground in the middle of the parking lot, not caring about the looks you’d receive. The people around you slowly disappearing from your view as your eyes connect with his. With Johnny’s.

Confusion slowly clouds your mind. He was supposed to be dead. He died in your arms three years ago, but then again, he was standing merely 20 meters away from you. It made absolutely no sense.

It was like time had stopped and you two were the only ones on the planet. That was until he started walking away, snapping you out of your trance. You follow him, nearly tripping just to be able to catch up with him, but only to lose him when he turns around the corner and into an alleyway. 

How could he be back? You saw him die that night, you saw your husband be killed on your wedding night. 

You forcefully convince yourself you just miss him and that your mind made up a hallucination of him. There was now way he could be alive, he would never do that to you. He would never leave you.

You ignore every thought that tells you to stay, or to call the other boys. You hadn’t talked to them since the funeral and it was probably for the best.

You leave the alleyway, but unbeknownst to you, Johnny had climbed up the fire escape and crawled into the small apartment the mafia had given him after returning to Seoul.

He knew he shouldn't have but he couldn’t not go looking for you. You couldn't know that his death was staged, it was the only way to keep you safe. He kept telling himself that everyday; it was the only way to keep himself sane. 

But neither of you could stay sane without each other, but this was the way it was supposed to be. At least for now.
