Idol group NCT 127 shared honest reflections on Mark's departure.

NCT 127 held a comeback press conference at Sky31 in Jamsil, Seoul, at 11 a.m. on the 24th.

The title track 'Blingy' music video will also be released simultaneously via YouTube's SMTOWN channel and other platforms.

On the day, member Taeyong said, "We imagined a picture where all members would stay together for 10 years, but we were deeply troubled by the change in membership and found it difficult to adapt."

When asked about Mark, he added, "We respect him. He worked hard while moving between two teams, NCT 127 and DREAM," and continued, "Since each person's path is different, we support him."

This album consists of nine tracks, including the title song 'Blingy', showcasing NCT 127's unique musical world. Marking their 10th anniversary since debut, the group reflects on their journey together while expressing firm determination to forge their own path forward based on pride and unity within the team. Through the main slogan 'CALL 127', they clearly convey a message that members and fans will once again gather as one 'One Team'.

The title track of the same name, 'Blingy', is a hip-hop song blending distortion synth sounds, powerful drum beats, and chanting choruses. It interprets elements of rage and dubstep genres through NCT 127's distinctive style to deliver explosive sound. The lyrics express an unceasingly rising energy and a presence that shines like a massive flame, embodying confidence in delivering top-tier performances and deep pride in the team.

Additionally, listeners can experience NCT 127's clear identity and diverse musical colors through tracks such as 'Legacy', which aims to spread positive energy like light across Seoul, their home base; 'Piñata', which turns stages into festivals with explosive energy; 'Step Up', declaring they will break through limits without hesitation even in any crisis; 'IKR', promising to surprise the world by stepping out of conventional ways and presenting new forms; 'Getaway', encouraging everyone to leave daily routines and enjoy freedom; and 'Day After Day', affirming their commitment to always move forward as themselves.

The track '1.27 million won Miles', sung by all seven members including Doyoung and Jaehyun, conveys the message that no matter how far apart they are, they will always be together. Meanwhile, 'I mean, It's about time', co-written by Taeyong and Johnny, reflects on the past 10 years and sincerely promises to rely on each other and walk forward together in the days ahead, honestly portraying NCT 127's resolve and aspirations as they open a new chapter.
