NCT 127 presented a preview of turning the stage into a passionate festival. Unveiling the track video for "Piñata," a song from their seventh studio album, they raised the excitement toward their comeback.
A Track Video with the "Streetwise Fixers of Seoul" Concept
On the afternoon of the 11th, agency SM Entertainment released the track video for "Piñata," a song from the seventh studio album "BLINGY," on NCT 127's official YouTube channel.
Against music brimming with intense energy, the track video captures the spectacular scenes of the members living as "fixers" in the heart of Seoul. Through a narrative in which NCT 127 wanders and clashes amid unexpected misunderstandings and rifts, but finally comes to understand one another and is reborn as a firmer whole, they dramatically portrayed the fiery energy of rough yet pure youth.
"Piñata," Crossing Freely Between Rock and Hip-Hop
"Piñata" is a track that freely crosses between the rock and hip-hop genres, blending intense electronic guitar sounds, a funky bass, and breakbeat drums. The combination of an unrestrained guitar solo bursting forth and a rap chant creates an intense synergy.
NCT 127 also completed an old-school-based, energetic performance, infused with the confidence to turn the stage into an explosive festival, as if bursting open a piñata. Adding a powerful sing-along point in the chorus to choreography where you can feel each member's charm, they're expected to deliver a special moment to enjoy while breathing together with the audience.
First Stage Reveal at KCON LA 2026
NCT 127 will reveal the "Piñata" stage for the first time at "KCON LA 2026," held at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, USA, on the 14th (local time). After that, they will release their seventh studio album "BLINGY" at 6 p.m. on the 24th through music sites.
This album, holding nine tracks in total including the title track "Blingy," is a new release two years after their sixth studio album "WALK" and an album commemorating their 10th debut anniversary. This "BLINGY" promotion will proceed as a five-member lineup of Johnny, Taeyong, Yuta, Jaehyun, and Haechan. Anticipation is gathering for how NCT 127's confidence—to turn the stage into a festival—will unfold on the new album.
