'Loyalty for 10 Years': NCT 127 Completes Renewal With All Seven Members Signing Again With SM

'A decade of tracks, an unstoppable sprint'… NCT 127 completes another milestone with SM

K-pop’s leading pioneers, the group 'NCT 127', sent a heavy message to the global music market as they once again joined hands with their agency 'SM Entertainment' (hereinafter referred to as SM).

In an official announcement on the 15th, SM said, "Based on the 'solid teamwork' the seven members—Johnny, Taeyong, Yuta, Doyoung, Jaehyun, Jungwoo, and Haechan—have built up over the years and the 'absolute trust' they have in the company, the group has signed renewals for all members." This is a strong statement that goes beyond a simple extension of their contract—affirming the group’s determination to continue, unchanged, the distinctive musical identity and vision it has pursued since its debut.

NCT 127, which arrived on the music scene in July 2016 like a comet, has now reached a landmark moment: 'its 10th year since debut'. Amid rapidly shifting trends, they have drawn rapturous support from fans around the world with their signature Neo-style musical color and overwhelming performances, firmly establishing themselves as 'a leading K-pop artist'.

SM said, "The achievements NCT 127 has delivered within the grand narrative of 10 years are nothing short of astonishing," adding, "Going forward, we will be the most reliable partner that will not hold back on 'full-scale support' for their multi-front activities." With this renewal as a turning point, NCT 127 is expected to begin in earnest its next chapter toward 'global mega hits', along with new musical experiments that break from the existing mold.
