Speaking of  SM Entertainment's group, NCT 127,  does everyone know the origin of their name?  I think that not all NCTzens remember. NCT comes from Neo Culture Technology and 127 comes from Seoul's longitude, meaning that they are based in Seoul. They'll head for world stages too! So NCT 127 members are also very "internationalized". Besides Korean members Taeil, Taeyong, Doyoung, Jaehyun and Haechan, there's an American member, Johnny, Japanese member, Yuta, Chinese member, Winiwin, and Canadian member Mark. That's truly a line-up headed for the world! 

NCT members are from different countries. In the center is Canadian member Mark. He's also the only member to participate in all three units (NCT U, NCT 127, and NCT Dream) at the same time.

The NCT 127 members do not understand each other very well. Because it is these singers' dream to walk together, they can become more like family more than just teammates. It's not an easy thing to become close friends from being strangers。 NCT is a group that has members that come from many different countries, have different languages, cultures, and language barriers. Getting along would  surely be a little hard, wouldn't it? But NCT members seem to not have this problem at all. Johnny said, "Together, through a lot of effort, we'll naturally become close." Even the interviewer felt this answer was a smart one! The other members heard Johnny's thoughtful answer and cheered! They added, "Body Language!"

The NCT 127 members are really cute! During the interview, one could see the burning sun outside the window. They all constantly mentioned that it is really hot in Hong Kong. I heard the that the temperature was 37 ℃ (98 ℉)! Scary!

In fact, not only is NCT very close among themselves, there's also TVXQ, SNSD, EXO, and other 

seniors that they like. I asked how they get along with their seniors, and they exposed their seniors' prank: "When we went to SMTOWN performance in Tokyo our seniors hoped that we could get along comfortably so they planned a secret camera prank. We had fun! We felt very touched and happy!"

Johnny shared NCT 127's secret to their closeness: "We work together, and fight together!" Didn't that sound energetic? Or very youthful?

Just one year after their debut, NCT 127 is already getting pampers by fans and their seniors. But after they became k-pop stars,  their progress was very fast! Is there no way to get some proper rest? I asked , "If you all only had one day of vacation, what would you do?". All nine members were very excited (although it's only just dreaming of a vacation). They said in, one word, "plan".

"I want to travel together with the members! For the whole day!" Johnny added, "I want to eat delicious food!" But Yuta said, "I want to go sightseeing!" Their chatting was very enthusiastic!

As soon as they get on the stage, NCT 127 transform from adorable guys to handsome idols! Take a look at their previous performance at SMTOWN in Hong Kong!

...

Just after debut, NCT 127 has gained much success! At the end of the last year, they won many rookie awards but still they kept a modest attitude. Taeyong said that there are a lot of things that caused NCT 127 to leave a deep impression: "It's probably because we just started, everything was fresh. The deepest impression is when we got a rookie award and when 'Cherry Bomb' got first place on a music show. This slowly made us able to interact with  the fans more. I hope that in the future we can have more platforms to interact with the fans! " What was most important to NCT 127 all along was to interact with NCTzens!
