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.

A lively number with a refreshing melody, vocals, and a rhythmic tempo.

It sings about a heart that can’t quite come out—writing down your true feelings and then erasing them, over and over—and it’s perfect to listen to while imagining the things you want to do and the excitement you feel for the future.

It may not scream “autumn,” but precisely because autumn makes you want to take it slow, this is a song you’ll want to layer with the autumn breeze and melody, as if sending your wishes off on a paper airplane.

It also sounds like it would be fun to listen to while taking a walk.
