NCT 127 turns 10, enters next chapter with ‘Blingy’

NCT 127 has reached the 10-year mark, but not in the way its members once imagined.

For fans who have watched the group grow since its 2016 debut, the milestone arrives with a different lineup, as two members are serving in the military, and a new album that reflects how much has changed — and what remains. “Blingy,” NCT 127’s seventh full-length album, released Monday, marks the group’s first major release in nearly two years since “Walk” in July 2024.

The album is more than a 10th anniversary
