NCT 127 Ends Hiatus With Favorite
Before entering the music scene again, the nine members of NCT 127 all spoke to AV Club and talked about their one year and a half of hiatus because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to Johnny, all members were all charged up and dived straight into the album.
"We really went into the album with a lot of energy, and I feel like the album also took a very long time, so the quality of the album was very good and high. I feel like because we did have a year to make the album, everything was really well-rounded," he said.
Between those months, the K-pop group was sidelined on several shows, including Knowing Bros, Weekly Idol, and MMTG.
After a long wait, NCT 127 immediately tasted the fruit of their hard work, and they would surely bring home more awards from music shows with their comeback.
