NCT127 is receiving high attention with its ambition to look back on the path they have taken and face the new path in the future, and the members tell various stories about the new album themselves.

This is a translation and organized version of their interview.

Q. It’s been 7 months since your last comeback. Please tell us how you feel about your comeback.

  • Jaehyun: Thank you so much to NCTzen for waiting. I’m looking forward to show the crew-like of NCT 127 with this album. Please enjoy it together!
  • Jungwoo: I can’t believe it’s already our 6th full album. We worked hard on it as it’s our 6th full-length album and it’s been completed with a good album. We’ll show you a different charm and improved music and performance from what we’ve shown so please look forward to it.

Q. Please introduce NCT127 6th full-length album, “WALK”.

  • Doyoung: The 6th full-length album contains the meaning of “We will move forward without paying attention to other people’s eyes with our own steps” in line with the keyword “creaking.” Beyond the meaning of the word “creaking,” it is an album that we have tried to define in our own way. [Korean title is ‘creaking’]
  • Mark: “WALK” is our 6th studio album! It’s composed of songs that let you feel the uniqueness of NCT127 once again. You can feel the “hip” itself.

Q. What part did you put the most effort into while preparing for the 6th full-length album “WALK”?

  • DOYOUNG: We put the most effort into the “Walk” choreography. I think we gave our opinion thinking that it would be a dance that my friends can enjoy and follow.
  • Johnny: We worked so hard on this album that it’s hard to pick one. We worked hard on every single track from the title track to the last track.

Q. How did you feel when you first heard the title track “Walk”? What else should audience focus on?

  • Yuta: I first felt like, ‘It’s strong!’ I especially like the chorus part, and it’s even better to watch and listen to it with a performance video!
  • Jae-hyun: When I first heard it, I felt the vibe of the song. The highlight is the performance that goes well with the groovy sound of the song. It’s different from the performances I’ve shown so far, so please look forward to it.
  • Mark: When I first heard it, I was overwhelmed by the hip old school atmosphere. It was the best old school genre I’ve ever heard. The highlight is the hipness of NCTzen. I think the handkerchief performance is very impressive and it’s a point!

Q. What kind of charms are you going to show with the title song “Walk”?

  • Johnny: We tried to melt the relaxation and coolness of NCT127 as much as possible. From the sound to the lyrics to the performance, we’re going to show you our cool yet confident charm.
  • Jungwoo: We want to show you the old school hip hop genre in our own colors. We’re going to show you our hip vibe, so please look forward to it!

Q. What is the highlight of the music video for the title track “Walk”? Any other memorable episodes?

  • Yuta: We shot more group scenes than individuals this time. That’s why Crew 127’s charms seem to be revealed more, so keep an eye out for our teamwork and chemistry! We had more time with the members because we had a lot of group shots, so we had more fun during the shoot, and every moment was memorable.
  • Jungwoo: There was a scene where we filmed together in the car, and I think that part will come out lit and neo, so please look forward to it. It was impressive to see everyone enjoying it as one, and it was more fun to be with the members.
  • Haechan: It was my birthday when we filmed the music video, and I remember the members threw me a surprise party. I was so thankful, and thanks to you, I was able to have more fun filming. Thank you guys! (laughs)

Q. Is there a goal or achievement you want to achieve through the promotion of our 6th regular album “WALK”?

  • TAEIL: I want to show the relaxed and mature sides of NCT127. And if NCTzens like our songs and enjoy our promotions, I don’t think there’s anything more I want.
  • Mark: I want to hear ‘NCT127 as expected’ from a lot of people. I’m so proud of NCT127 that I feel the best when I hear that. (laughs)

Q. July 7th is NCT127 8th anniversary. Please tell us how you feel.

  • DOYOUNG: It felt a little strange. It was the 8th anniversary that we had while preparing for this album, which will bring us another preciousness, so I think it was a little more emotional than any other time. It felt new, and I was thankful and touched that we spent this much time with the members. And as an artist who’s been around for 8 years, I want to show you a great performance.
  • HAECHAN: The 8th anniversary is bigger and deeper. I felt a sense of weight and responsibility as I remembered the times we’ve been promoting. I want to say thank you again to the members who have been with me, and I love you!

Q. Lastly, please say something to NCTzens around the world.

  • Taeil: I’m so excited to meet NCTzen after a long time. Please look forward to our promotion. Thank you always and I love you so much!
  • JOHNNY: NCT127 came back with a great album! I can say with confidence that we’ve matured and improved in every aspect as a group and individual. Do you want to do “WALK” with us? (laughs)
  • Yuta: Thank you for always supporting us, and we will continue to have fun. Thank you for always being with us!
  • DOYOUNG: I’m sure NCTzens will feel special, because we’re releasing this album to celebrate our 8th anniversary. As I always said, our album is always for NCTzen. I hope you get comfort from various emotions through this album, too.
  • JAEHYUN: NCTzen, you’ve been with us so far. And I’m encouraged by you. Thank you always.
  • Jungwoo: NCTzen~ It’s Jungwoo! We’ve become a singer who even release our 6th studio album. We’ve prepared a great and fruitful album to match the name of NCT127, so I believe NCTzen will like it. Please listen to it a lot and stay with us for a long time!
  • Mark: NCTzen, you’ve waited for a long time! We’re making a comeback in summer after a long time. Let’s have a lot of fun and make many memories together this summer! Let’s meet soon!
