During NCT 127's 2022 world tour, the K-pop group had two official stops in the States including a sold-out show at Los Angeles' Crpyto.com Arena on Oct. 6.
How does NCT 127 pick out their outfits? "Some outfits are suggested and prepared by the company and the style team to best suit the concept of the song," DOYOUNG shared with E! News. "But at the same time, we also have a lot of discussions to incorporate each individual's personality and style into them."
After discovering NCT 127's Los Angeles show was sold out, JOHNNY said he felt "excited and thankful" for all the fans who made it possible.
Fans arrived early to make sure they didn't miss a moment of NCT 127's concert in Los Angeles. "I am always grateful for our fans," JAEHYUN said. "It is thanks to NCTzens that we continue to get great opportunities and grow further."
On Oct. 13, NCT 127 sold out their second U.S. tour stop when they traveled to New Jersey's Prudential Center.
According to HAECHAN, the show kicks off with a bang. "The first song always makes me excited," he said. "As an opening of the concert, I think it's the moment everyone, including myself, looks forward to with tension and excitement."
"I feel truly happy receiving the energy of the local fans and learning the culture at each show," TAEYONG said. "As the emotions I feel and overall situations I experience are different and unique for each country, I personally get huge influences when working on songs. So I hope that the fans also receive the emotions, enthusiasm, and energy that we show at the concerts and this affect a part of their life in a positive way."
The group's pre-show routine includes stretches, stress relief and just a bit of social media. "I pull myself together both physically and mentally prior to the performance," JUNGWOO said. "First, I gently warm up by doing stretching, then try to stay calm and relaxed." YUTA added, "I do several things—stretch out, warm up my throat and drink coffee. Lately, taking photos of TAEIL's daily life and posting on stories is becoming a routine."
There's no rest for NCT 127. "We are getting ready for a repackage album with new songs being added onto the track list," JOHNNY teased. "And we have a lot more tour dates coming up, so our fans around the world have a lot to look forward to."
TAEIL also has some plans that are sure to be music to fans' ears. "I'm planning to showcase a new song as a unit with HAECHAN at the upcoming NEO CITY : SEOUL - THE LINK +," he teased.
