I remember something when saw this post, Do joked that he'll the his mom if he wins against Jae.. it makes me figoure out how relationship Jae has with Do's family. He remember kim's wedding anniversary, and fans cought do send a massage whis is Gongmyung's number when Jae doing live, Jae knows Myung's line in his movie, and the hihi 😸 cat face when myung being mentioned on nct content. Thought Do never mention that Jae is close with his family istead alaways mention other member like Johnny or Mark I think Jae does has special position in his family. Plusss Mama kim wore a prada bag when he attended Do's concert in Japan, altho it's a Do's old bag before he's being DG BA and mom soul just can't let any luxury stuff abandoned

Link

In my case this twit reminded me Doyoung commenting that Jae has been flirting for 27 years (during the 8th anniversary fancon). Made me think that Do, as the main victim and the main loser in this game, had enough and needed to complain about his fate.

Yes, Jae is close to Do's family. Doyoung doesn't talk about it now, but he complained in the past. How Kim mom was swooned by Jaehyun, and how Jae was targeting his brother as well. We know Kim mom taught (or gave receipt) Jae how to cook Do's favourite dish. And that one of Do's cousin (I think the wife of his cousin) is close to Jae enough for him to be more informal.

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 💖

[mybiasisexo]

Thanks for humoring my rant lol.

Tho, it rly is so confusing. Like where was this energy when ppl were literally sitting outside SME protesting to have Jongdae removed from the group, simply because he was married? Or when Chanyeol had his scandal back in 2020? (Tbh that scandal was just ridiculous, the “evidence” was just laughable 😅.)

SM is just the worst when it comes to pr and management. Like rly they are. At a point, they just let the clout from their groups do all the work and just sit there and watch. I seriously believe that exo could’ve even more successful than they are now. Like doing the Olympic closing ceremony and then a possible invitation to perform at Coachella? That was the perfect recipe for a westward expansion! (Tho we would have fix the weird gaps b/w Countdown and DMUMT, and then obsession ofc)

Maybe it was because sm had tried with both BoA and SNSD (their two biggest acts at the time) to break into the western markets and both didn’t pan out like they wanted, so they gave up on the idea. But when they realized the time was right, exo was about to their military service, so they moved onto NCT 127 and then SuperM. Tho, I’m probably giving them way too much credit lmao. 🤣

If you’re interested, I may or may not made an alternative version of exos career if things went (nearly) perfectly for them, esp without military enlistments and political tensions in the way. Lmk, and I’ll send u the link!

yeah they were SILENT for both of those. just threw our boys right into the wolves den smh. and those werent even like serious allegations 😭😭 not to mention both chen and chanyeol are still dealing with the aftermath of those!!! knetz cant stand their asses 😀🔪

i think sm really just didnt want exo in the west. theyre target was always asia, so theyve put more focus in china and japan with them. which is a shame bc, well, im in america!!!!! its true tho that if sm had nurtured it, they wouldve been huge in the west, they already had the demand and the clout. i remember them going toe-to-toe with one direction back in '13. ONE DIRECTION!!!! and it was neck and neck, like they really couldve been as big as b*s here. but honestly??? im glad that didnt happen. cause idk if i could handle this fandom if it were at that level lol. tho omggg if they had gone to coachella i wouldve acted a straight FOOL. again, a crisis averted for me 😇. tho ill never forgive them for never coming back to the states. esp bc they stopped coming when i told myself i was going to go no matter what hahahHA....😭

ooh! i would love that link thank you! i wanna see what you think wouldve happened bc i too am curious of the trajectory of their career had their company not gotten in their way

[nct-mag]

[CLOSED]

Hello everyone!

As i don't really keep up with NCT and Kpop anymore, it has become really hard for me to update the blog. For this simple reason i decided to officially stop with the updates.

Everything will stay here as an archive for past works, but no new work will be updated.

Thank you for the support, hope yall enjoyed it as much as i did :)

Here i'll leave links to photoshoots i kept in drafts for months lmao, hope i didn't forget any. byeeee <3

NCT AG at MAMA 2022

Even though NCT Dream did not attend MAMA, Aurora went with AG after the girls flew to Japan joining Doyoung at their concert

AG walked the red carpet to B.O.Y. Their arms were linked together, Hannah and Moxy on the ends. All the girls wore blazer dresses. Juno wore a crushed velvet one in black. Aurora’s dress was black houndstooth. Hannah’s was half black linen and half black sequins. Lastly, Moxy’s was a black linen one with a cape in the back.

Even though the girls walked the red carpet, they weren’t actually at the show for the first day. AG was busy with last minute rehearsals for their performance

Moxy sits on the ground resting her back on the padding lining the walls of the gym they’re using for AG’s MAMA rehearsal. 

“It’s 4 am. We just finished rehearsals for Mama tomorrow. Just to give you an idea of the timeline. Myself, Hannah and Juno flew out for Dream’s show in Yokohama. It was actually Doyoung’s idea for us to join him. He was already planning on going and said ‘You guys should just come early! That way you can all fly out together.’ I think he just wanted company.”

Moxy pauses to answer a question from her manager.

Where was I…….Oh Yeah! From there we flew out after the last concert to be here in Osaka. We’ve been in rehearsal alllll day until a couple of hours ago when we got dressed, walked the carpet, said hello to some of our friends and now we’re here. Practicing our performance. Immediately after the show tomorrow Aurora has to fly out for Dream’s show in…….Fukuoka!”

Moxy’s looks past the camera with a blank look in face.

“Jesus, I’m tired”

The girls posted a ton of videos of themselves backstage at day two of MAMA. They filmed with NewJeans, Treasure, and Felix and I.N from SKZ. 

It was a Queendom reunion backstage. Moxy and Juno posted a picture with the girls from Kepler. Hannah filmed the #BOYChallenge with Hyolyn and Xiaoting.

AG sat upfront between Stray Kids and Treasure. Fans were treated to interactions between all three groups. Moxy, Han, Lee Know and Changbin took a selfie together. Juno walked over to talk with Hyunjin during a commercial break. Netizens were shocked to learn Doyoung from Treasure and Aurora were friendly with each other. As they talked, Aurora would sometimes blush to great joy from Doyoung. 

During NewJeans performance, AG like everyone else was dancing to Hype Boy. This has been the closest fans have gotten to the members doing the Hype Boy challenge for tiktok.

Aurora and Juno were both singing along to Future Perfect by Enhypen. Cameras caught Juno miming doing the dance along with the boys on stage.

All the girls were rocking out to Treasure’s performance just like everyone else in the crowd, fan and idol alike. Camera’s caught Haruto hugging Juno which is weird because the two haven’t interacted before.

AG’s performance was second to last, right before J-Hope. Their stage was called BOY, Hit The Lights! When the stage is announced. The lights and screens began to glitch out and flicker on and off. Everything shuts down, launching the arena into darkness. Suddenly the screens say Transmission interrupted.

A VCR played with the girls in a control room. The coordinates in the corner of the screen read The Flat, The Center of Kwangya. While the other three girls do miscellaneous tasks around the room, Moxy types away on a huge computer screen. All of a sudden, an alert goes off. The three girls run over to where Moxy has pulled up where the alert is coming from. On the top of the room, the words blinking say DREAM DISRUPTED.

“Where's the alert coming from?” Aurora asks. 

“Someplace called….MAMA??” Moxy questions exactly what MAMA even means. “It says it's in Osaka though.” 

Hannah claps her hands together, “Well what are we waiting for, we have a dream to set right.” All four girls turn around and jump into a large tunnel in the middle of the floor. The VCR ends with Juno winking at the camera as she falls back into the tunnel. 

In the Arena a large crash echos in the arena. White light shines on the girls from above. Juno is the first to stand up. “Woah, guys. I don't think the computer told us that MAMA was an AWARD SHOW. Look! It's filled with people.” All the girls look out into the crowd with surprised faces. 

“I bet this is another prank from Naevis. Making us answer a fake alert only to plop us in front of a bunch of screaming people. Well, I for one am not sticking around for this. NAEVIS BEAM US UP!” 

“WAIT WAIT WAIT!!!” Hannah interrupts. “We can’t just leave them empty handed. It looks like someone was supposed to perform during this part. We should at least give them a show. What do you say ladies?” Moxy and Juno agree but Hannah has to elbow Aurora in the ribs to get her to agree, “Oww, FINE!”

Moxy turns to the audience, “Alright, do you guys wanna help us out!” The crowd screams in agreement. Moxy breaks character, taken aback by the response. “Okay, okay. All we ask is that you make. Some. NOISE!!” The crowd’s screams fill the arena as the light shuts off again. 

When they come back on, The girls start singing B.O.Y. A single spotlight shines on each member as they sing the opening verse. At the chorus, the lights in the arena come back to life and the stage fills with dancers. The skip straight to the bridge and final chorus of the song before Aurora steps up and asks the crowd, “YOU GUYS WANT ONE MORE SONG?!” At the crowd agreement, the dancers crowd around the girls and when they disperse, the girls are in completely different outfits before they start the last song. 

At MAMA, AG lets the world get a preview of the Repackage title track, Am to Pm. The repackage had been announced to release the second of december but the girls decided to debut the song for MAMA. On the stage the girls dance around the main stage, even going around to the side of the crowd where the observing idols sat. 

The girls walk back to the Main stage during the bridge. This version of the song, created for MAMA, has a dance break where the girls dance in the bed of ford trucks. The girls jump off the truck into the waiting arms of dancers. The dancers carry the members to center stage to finish the song, fireworks exploding from the stage as the fans cheer. In one last flash of light, AG disappeared from the stage leaving everything as it was before they began glitching.

In terms of awards, tonight was a milestone for AG. On the first day, AG won Worldwide Fan’s Choice Top 10 once again. But that's not what I’m talking about. On this night, AG and Nctzen’s finally broke AG’s MAMA curse with the girls winning Best Dance Performance - Female Group for Do It Like This. 

The girls were so shocked, they sat in their seats for what felt like hours before making their way to the stage on shaky legs. By the time they made it to the microphone, all the members were in tears. Aurora handled the speech in Korean and Moxy gave the thank you’s in english.

“Thanks to everyone at SM for their continued support. To our families, thank you for encouraging us to chase our dreams and make them reality. T-Thank you to our members. Many of y-you didn’t know any of us but you— you still opened your arms to us and brought us into the family you’ve built around yourselves. You showed us there was room for the four of us and we are forever grateful for that. Finally, CZENNIE!!!……you’ve stood by us. You’ve cheered for us. You’ve cried with us. You’ve been by our sides from the beginning and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you for giving us your time, your energy and your love. We, AG, promise to return it back one hundred fold. Thank you!” 

Backstage, AG’s managers got footage of the girls crying together after accepting their award. They posted it the AG instagram story for the fans to see with a simple ‘thank you nctzen’ as the caption

AG did a vlive once they got back to their hotel and it was memorable. The girls couldn’t stop crying over the memories of their time together. Some would argue that winning best dance performance isn’t an award worth sobbing over. But for AG and AGzens it’s years of work finally paying off

The girls took time to each give an ending message, once again leaving the girls in tears. Needless to say this video was used in every edit congratulating the group on Twitter.

The unity

127's 3-d concert tour has started in Seoul with 3 concerts in a row.

Dates to search on X: 17-19.11.23

the tag: NCT127_NEOCITY_THE_UNITY

Also use individual members names, more people post only their biases. You can find clips on YT as well, this person provides good sound (looks like with time the videos are sorted into playlists, so check the tab if you are reading this post months later).

I talked a lot how Link was a fanmeet with starved after the pandemic fans rather than a concert, there was close to no preparation, nothing but neos themselves for the offering. Therefore I had been looking forward to the next tour and how SM 3.0 will do. Well, they didn't dissapoint. How well the concert will be transported abroad remains to be seen, at least at home a show was delivered.

Many songs were rearranged. Favorite got orchestral version. Lasers, lightshow were used a lot. Special props: real "firetrucks" and vapor guns for Firetruck, a central stage with moving platforms, a big curtain for Misty, rose petals for Favorite, etc. Good costumes, bright and stage worthy. A lot of live singing. Neos performed at different ends of the stadium, came down to interact with the fans, Doyoung even climbed to the restricted view section. I haven't seen complains about members not being shown on big screens during their key moments, so the camerawork and directing were OK as well.

This time, because it was the last tour before the guys going to the military one by one, there were no solo or unit stages. Doyoung proposed it, which was shown in the bts from the discussion of the plans for the tour, and, naturally, he got hate for it. Mostly from Tae's solo stans.

Taeil didn't participate due to his injury. It was announced some time ago he won't be present in Japan next year as well, so it is safe to say he is going to miss the tour entirely. Unless there will be Unity+ with a changed tracklist in the very end? His parts were covered by different neos. Doyoung had twice the number of highnotes.

Superhuman was performed. Koreans cheered.

Neos had muscat grapes and other snacks as replenishment on stage. Which was a good idea, sugar is needed for tired muscles. Chocolate and grapes are quick to provide it.

Dreamies, NCT new team and Johnathan came on the 3-d day. You can bet Doyoung invited him. He also gave tickets to Inkigayo staff.

Neos had personalised plush star pendants as Fact check theme. Taeyong lost his and Yuta threw his star into the crowd. Which was a problem as the toys were unreleased merch. Neos also advertised some funny hats. Haechan threw his... again, wrong move. Doyoung from the stage and the managers in the audience had to ask to return the items.

A JaeDo moment was posted on 127 IG (stories) although it was easy to cut it (it was at very the beginning of a long video).

JaeDo didn't have individual sections for them in the script, except singing parts, however, they continued to interact in a mild way, similar to how they did in 2022. Jaehyun joined other neos to tease and used opportunities for quick interactions.

Neos

Hyuk+Yuta+Jae lifting up Doyoung as an offering to the fans

Jae running to block Do from going up to the stage: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9... 10, 11, 12

JaeDo looking at each other during Yacht

Do filming Jae

Jae jumping to help Do with the phone camera: 1, 2

Jae correcting himself and changing the placement of his arm on Do's shoulder: 1, 2

TaeDo pair dance during Space: 1, 2, 3, 4

TaeDo hug. Notice how matter of factly it was, how easy and smooth. It what JaeDo would have shown us if they were only close friends.

Haechan touching Do's nipples during a high note. Worth attention that Do didn't flinch or got distracted. He plays alone in most of the cases with dongsaengs. He can not play alone as well.

Haechan patting Do's head.

Do filming neos and the fans, Jae teasing: 1, 2

Jae being cute for the fans: 1, 2, 3, 4

Muscat mugbang, Doyoung

Do interacting with the fans from the restricted view area

Doyoung making (concert) numbers with his finger during the group final photos

Woo spilling water and Hyuk berating him. This moment shows the reaction of both Do and Jae. Do and Tae immidiently went to help and quickly solve the problem of water on the floor. Jae loitered around without interaction with Woo. You know he'll jump to help if it was Do.

Jae sending a flying kiss to Woo

Do making Woo make a heart with him

Jae interferring during Tae's speech. Close up on Jae alone.

Yuta feeding a grape to Do.

A bit of dancing: Jae, Do, Do,

I didn't spend much time on X so should have missed many an interesting moment. Perhaps fans will make compilations for YT later.
