Cherry BombNCT 127

NCT 127 엔시티 127 ‘Cherry Bomb’ MV

NCT is a group that debuted in 2016 under SM Entertainment, and the name stands for “Neo Culture Technology.” It’s a unique group that can confuse not only people unfamiliar with K-pop but even fans—rather than having a fixed lineup, it can expand infinitely with each project.

Among the sub-units, NCT 127 is probably the main project; they are active primarily in Korea and also in Japan.

The “127” refers to the longitude of Seoul (127 degrees east).

Although SM isn’t typically known for rappers, this group includes skilled rappers and has many songs with a bold, edgy vibe.

It’s also exciting that YUTA, SM’s first Japanese member, is part of the group.
