NCT127- The Next Big Thing.
We saw it with our own eyes.
We heard it with our ears.
NCT127
There’s a reason why these boys are the next big news for the K-pop industry.
We list the reasons for their rising popularity
NCT 127 at Jimmy Kimmel Live
NCT 127 at Apple Music
And NCT 127 at the AMAS.
The pictures seen in this article were taken on the day of NCT127’s guest appearance at Jimmy Kimmel Live. Located in the Hollywood area, fans were busy securing their place for NCT127’s performance. They were heard chanting and singing the songs as they waited.
"Welcome"
"NCT127"
We wasted no time with our questions. We asked the fans, “Why NCT?”
“Of course, it’s because of their music. We especially like their English version of “Regular.” Our biases are Jungwoo and Mark. We’d like for them to come to the U.S. more often.” (Paisely and Reagan)
“We got into Kpop through our friends. We like that they’re different, unique. Our favorite song is “Whiplash.” (Sarah and Sequine)
“I’ve been a fan since their debut. I like how they have members from Korea, Japan, and China. It’s a good mix of rich cultures.” (Ailak)
That’s not all. The fans did their own rendition of “Cherry Bomb” when we requested a song of their choice. They also sang along to “Regular.” Watch it all on the V app!
We interviewed a few of the boys in their waiting room. The boys have said to have practiced day and night for this big day.
“Just the fact that we could make our North American debut, is mind blowing. I truly believe this was all possible because of our fans. I still can’t believe it; it feels so surreal. We promise to work even harder and make you all proud.” (Taeyong)
Aside from their performance, we also need to talk about the boys themselves. They looked so handsome with matching, burgundy-colored suits.
"North American debut, check. " (Jungwoo)
"First stage performance" (Jaehyun)
"We promise to do well" (Haechan)
"Again! V app"
It’s finally time for NCT127. The crowds were getting louder as they grew more excited for the boys, over time.
“It’s the performance you’ve all been waiting for. NCT127 is here with their new album #127 Regular- Irregular. Let’s welcome the boys and their new single, “Regular”. (Jimmy Kimmel)
As soon as NCT127 shows up
The fans go crazy.
Their performance was outstanding.
Their light sticks are a beam of comfort.
A performance so outstanding,
comes with sudden dance bursts.
On this day, NCT127 performed “Cherry Bomb”, “Fire Truck”, and “Limitless”. It’s easy to see how much work and effort they put into this special day.
“The North American debut is a very special experience. It’s our first full album so it’s especially more meaningful. We’ll take this as our strength to keep moving forward as better versions of ourselves. We love you.” (NCT127)
NCT127’s American debut was a success. However, the fans weren’t able to leave the boys just yet. They continued to watch the videos they took minutes after the performance was over.
“I’m thrilled I was able to watch their debut performance. I could tell just how much they practiced for this day. They deserve a standing ovation.” (Alice,20)
“Their Jimmy Kimmel Live performance is just the beginning. I wish I could see them on American shows more often. They are capable of achieving a lot more.” (Emma,19)
It’s no wonder why NCT127 holds the title of “Next Kpop.” The sweat and tears they shed behind curtains is finally paying off. We cheer the boys on as we watch them make big, better steps ahead.
