Overview
- The nine‑track album Blingy was released on Aug. 24, 2026 as NCT 127’s seventh full‑length record and a 10th‑anniversary project.
- Five members — Taeyong, Johnny, Yuta, Jaehyun and Haechan — are promoting the release while Doyoung and Jungwoo are absent on mandatory military service.
- Leader Taeyong publicly acknowledged former member Mark’s departure earlier this year and said all remaining members renewed contracts with SM Entertainment to continue as NCT and NCT 127.
- Critics and the band describe Blingy as a return to the group’s performance roots with harder hip‑hop production, demanding choreography and two album tracks that include the voices of the members currently serving.
- The group will launch its fifth world tour, Neo City — The Redline, with three Seoul shows at KSPO Dome from Sept. 18–20 and a global live‑cinema screening for the kickoff concert.
