Some fans called these five our Founding Fathers. :D They were unit that gave us NCT's very first song: 7th Sense (one of the BEST kpop debuts ever imo). In fact they are the ones who brought me back into kpop in 2016 after a number of years not really paying attention due to life. This and Golden Age are the MV/title tracks for the NCT-wide project album they just dropped today (NCT 2023 Golden Age). It's a lot of variety and you never know what they are going to do next.
Ten in on WayV unit, they are coming back now on Nov 1. I recommend you to watch their track video bc it is dope and I hope you fall on love with all units
the guy you don't recognize is ten he from wayv another nct subunit. Nct has a lot subunit. the other guys with blue and pink hair is the leader taeyong and other guys that you recognize is doyoung and mark lee. the other member is jaehyun not jungwoo.
Oh cool at least Ten wasn't someone I saw and forgot! I did recognize Taeyong and I'm sorry - Jaehyun is what I was trying to say but I am probably mispronouncing it! Thank you for watching.
Hi! Actually you got the names right! The blond guy that you don’t know is Ten. He is from Thailand and he is an amazing dancer and he got a very pretty voice (you can check out his solo called “birthday” with the dance practice because he is one of the best dancers in kpop) He is in NCT U and WayV, the Chinese unit of NCT that I recommend you to react. He was in the song called “the 7th sense”, the debut song of NCT with the same unit as Baggy Jeans (Mark, Taeyong, Jaehyun and Doyoung) -Fun fact since I saw that you like Blackpink, he is a close friend to Lisa because of their dance and because they’re Thai! If I forgot something, other nctzens can add some informations! Byeee!!
Thank you I was really worried everyone was going to tell me he was in Dream or 127 and I would feel bad for forgetting him. He is talented and I liked his style. Very cool about him being friends with Lisa, too thank you for that trivia! Appreciate the support!
@@ChainReactionsChannel not sure if you've reacted to the 3rd sub group of NCT which is WayV, their Chinese sub-group, but I recommend listening to one of their songs Take Off, Moonwalk, Kickback, or Action Figure.
@@ChainReactionsChannel please react to nct u 7th sense, its a total different vibe from and its the first ever debut of the NCT Franchise also NCT U is the rotational unit of NCT, not a fixed unit, the members changes depending on the type of song they're doing but this NCT U unit are the same guys from the 7th sense its like their comeback
NCT U is sorta the 'mix-n-match' unit of NCT... any number and/or combination of the overall members can be on a track, just depending on who happens to fit that particular concept best. THIS mix is actually really special to NCTzens because they were the OG members to debut with 'The 7th Sense'... we haven't had this lineup in over 7 years. Members included are; Taeyong (127/SuperM) Mark (127/Dream/SuperM) Doyoung (127/DJJ) Jaehyun (127/DJJ) Ten (WayV/SuperM) Ten is the member you're not familiar with... he is the center of WayV and a great soloist as well. Also, just happens to be one of the best dancers in all of kpop (THE best imo). I recommend his solo 'Birthday'... and, as good as the mv is, I suggest skipping it in favor of the dance practice (or watch both). It's just better to see the full choreography piece and the way it's shot/edited it's more like a performance video anyways.
I see, so I guess I better learn more names to keep up with NCT U haha. That's cool about them being the OGs! Ten is dope, I look forward to seeing more of him, in WayV or solo, he's cool. Is SuperM another subunit or is that a whole different group? Thank you for watching!
@@ChainReactionsChannel SuperM is a whole different group although as you know it does conclude nct members. It's a boy group with solo and boy group artists from SM, their company. I've only seen your nct reactions but its similar to GOT the beat a girl group version of this concept which includes some aespa and red velvet members for example.
@@ChainReactionsChannelto make it easy to understand They are like the avengers team that SM Entertainment created. It is a group that combines the best performers from each group to debut together. my boy TEN is here Want you to react, his latest solo is awesome and the dance practice is the best ever.
@@ChainReactionsChannel Whoops... sorry, left off the explanation of SuperM. 😂 As the others said, it's a project group that is sort of an all-star team of SM Entertainment, consisting of some of the labels most popular male artists. Baekhyun & Kai of EXO, Taeyong & Mark of 127, Ten of WayV, Taemin of SHINee and Lucas formerly of WayV who is now launching his solo career soon. (We were supposed to get a comeback sometime this year, but the groups status is now sorta up in the air at the moment with the current circumstances of Kai's enlistment happening sooner than planned for, Baekhyun not renewing his contract, Lucas' departure from WayV, and Taeyong's enlistment on the horizon... not sure if we'll see them again for awhile, if at all... which is a damn shame, because they made some GREAT music.) So... side quest... you might wanna take a look at them at some point. 😄 They were known as the "Avengers of Kpop" and even had an official merch line with MARVEL. Best place to start with them is their debut mv, called 'Jopping'.
I'd dare to say these 5 guys are the face of the NCT brand so this reunion was very much anticipaded from fans and non-fans as well. You know them already, but the one you haven't seen yet (the blondie) is TEN. He is mad talented, main dancer, main vocalist and center of another NCT sub-unit called WayV (chinese based unit). He also has a lot of solo songs, you should react to his song "Birthday", preferably the dance practice if you wanna be left speechless with his dancing since you said you love floor choreography and that has a lot of it!
In fact, this 5 are the members of NCT's debut song “The 7th Sense ”. Taeyong from NCT 127. Doyoung, Jaehyun from NCT 127 & NCT DOJAEJUNG. Mark from NCT 127 & NCT Dream. Ten from WayV.
@ChainReactionsChannel NCT DOJAEJUNG is the new sub-group of NCT that debuted in April 2023, They have 3 members from NCT 127, DOyoung, JAEhyun & JUNGwoo. FYI, SM has had a pedigree in the trio since 90's, SES, Super Junior KRY, Girl Generation TTS, and EXO-CBX. They all combined the first English initials of their names into the group names.
NCT has very interesting music! That's why I love them hahaha. This song is really good! And is executed by the first combination of NCT U members, the 7th sense unit! Now, the member you didn't recognized is Ten, he's an ACE, part of NCT WayV! Yhis song is part of their new album "Golden Age" by NCT 2023 (they release an album from time to time with the participation of ALL the members with evey unit. I highly recommend you to check their song Golden Age, an emotional and cool song and MV with all of them singing and rapping together💚. And in the future I hope you can listen to WayV! They are not as popular as 127 and Dream but they are amazing! Edit: Also DOJAEJUNG ofc!!
Since everyone already broke down who Ten is and the significance of this NCT U lineup, I'll explain Golden Age and this album since you asked! "Baggy Jeans" is the title track for the NCT 2023 Golden Age album that just released and the song "Golden Age" was a pre-release song with all the members. What this means is, every few years NCT release a full group album in which ALL active members of that particular participate and the album is made up of different NCT U songs with the members in different combinations. And everytime they do this they also release a SONG with EVERY member involved. "NCT 2023 Golden Age" was that song for this Golden Age album. It's a very beautiful song with all 20 members in it about how the members are together even when they're separate and is about appreciating a new phase in their lives and careers. Previously their year project albums and group songs have been: NCT 2018 Empathy album, with the full group song "Black on Black" (an insane dance choreography focused song- only 18 members at the time), NCT 2020 Resonance Album with the song "Resonance" (another crazy song that actually was a mash up of their title tracks from the album and had amazing choreography - 23 members), and NCT 2021 Universe Album with the song "Beautiful" (a "beautiful" song about self-love). And now NCT 2023. They don't happen on strict schedule, it's just whenever their company announces they'll have one. So we have no clue when the next year project album from NCT will be, but it's always a big deal and time of great excitement for NCTzens to see our boys come together. Especially since they're usually so busy in their fixed units throughout the year that these albums are the few time they're able to meet up with and hang out with their other members. Also you may have noticed me mentioning how many members were in each year project albums. Since 2016, NCT has consistently added new members to the group. They used to have a concept of "limitless expansion" meaning they would keep growing. And they have. However, their company did announce this year (2022), that that concept is over and after they get their last unit, their Japanese unit, NCT will be completely done adding new members. This means that fans have seen NCT grow over the years, but we've also seen them lose members unfortunately. In 2016, their debut year, there were 15 confirmed members: Taeil, Taeyong, Yuta, Kun, Doyoung, Ten, Jaehyun, Winwin, Mark, Renjun, Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, Chenle, and Jisung. In 2017, they added Johnny to 127 for a total of 16. In 2018, they added Lucas and Jungwoo for a total of 18. In 2019, WayV debuted and added Xiaojun, Hendery and Yangyang, for a total of 21. In 2020, Shotaro and Sungchan were added for a total of 23. In 2021, Lucas had a scandal and left the group, bringing them down to 22. And that's how it was for all of 2022. Then in 2023, their company SM removed Shotaro and Sungchan to debut them in a separate, non-NCT related boygroup called Riize (who will be debuting in September), so NCT is back down to 20 members. There's currently a reality show airing to determine who will be in the Japanese unit of NCT, but it's been confirmed that there will only be 6 members picked for that unit. So NCT will be complete with 26 members. I imagine the next full group album wouldn't come til we get all 26 lol! *TL;DR*: anytime you see NCT (Blank Year) that just means it's referring to ALL the members of NCT of that particular year. And it's usually accompanied by a song and album. Fans also label funny moment videos like that to show that they're including moments from the whole group. Sorry for the rant, I don't know how to be short-winded lmao especially with the mammoth that is NCT.
So interesting. It's kind of like Marvel comic books where heroes team up and pair up randomly and then every once in a while they get into bigger and bigger groups. I love that! Thank you for the information, I guess I have some time to learn more before the next project lol.
'Golden Age' is the title track (along with 'Baggy Jeans') for the new album of the same name, that dropped today. NCT 2023 just means it's a full group album in 2023. 'Golden Age' is one of only 4 mv's with all the members included. Since you love vocals and rapping, I think you're gonna love 'Golden Age'. Previous full group projects are; NCT 2018 Empathy, NCT 2020 Resonance, NCT 2021 Universe and now NCT 2023 Golden Age. Having listened to the whole album a couple of times today, I can confirm that it's FANTASTIC. Every song is great and gives us variety in a way that only NCT can manage. I highly recommend an album listen! Full group mv's; Black On Black (performance video... only 18 members at the time) Resonance (medley of 4 songs off the album... 23 members at the time) Beautiful (only 21 members appear in the mv as 2 were on hiatus) Golden Age (the current 20 members, having lost 3... 2 will be debuting soon in RIIZE and 1 who is now going to be a soloist).
What makes "Baggy Jeans" extra special is that this is NCT-U's original debut lineup back together again. This is really just them going back to their roots. All 5 members -- Taeyong, Mark, Ten, Jaehyun and Doyoung -- were the very first members out of all of the NCT members to debut. They were the first installment of NCT-U and the first of all of NCT's sub-units to be introduced to the world. Ten said not too long ago in an interview that he wanted to do another project with "The 7th Sense" members because it had been more than 7 years since he had done anything with just those members. I'm so happy that SM was listening and that his wish came true. The guy you didn't recognize is Ten who is from Thailand, and he is one of the main dancers of NCT and a member of WayV, NCT's Mandarin Chinese sub-unit. He is extremely talented -- he is considered to be one of the best dancers in the entire industry, he has an amazing singing voice, he's a great rapper, he's fluent in 5 languages, he's one of the NCT members with the most solo releases and he is also a very skilled drawer and graphic design artist, etc.
Wow I am always impressed by the multilingual abilities of so many of these people! I think it's really cool that they get the original members together for projects, I was just saying in a different reply that this reminds me of comic books how heroes will pair up and group up and mix and match. Such an interesting concept for a musical group!
3:42 Cool that you said that because the member you said you didn't know, Ten, he has a solo called "Birthday" which has a some floor choreo. He's def one of the best dancers in Nct too.
You gotta react to NCT U the 7th sense. It’s with this same line up and was the first unit debut out of all of NCT. Such a vibe, it’s a trap RnB sound.
Thank you for the fun reaction. NCT is known for it's Swag, versatility, and experimentation with concepts and sound. It's the reason I love them. They're never run of the mill or boring, and each new configuration of members has it's own flavor. They've all been together for a really long time, and most of them trained together since their teens. So they grew up together literally. I don't know if you've checked out Dream's killing voice yet, but that unit consists of most of NCT'S maknaes (youngest) 1999-2002. They just celebrated their 7th anniversary. They debuted in 2016. Mark Lee is their unit leader. Mark and Jisung (Gee-Sung) the current maknae of all NCT and subunit Dream, just did a Studio Choom mix & max you might like too. Also, Dream had a recent comeback with ISTJ, and I think you'd like 127's last Ay yo and 2 baddies. Take care 💚
I don't know what Studio Choom is but I will look into that. Thank you for watching! I did also react to the Killing voices from Dream and 127 if you haven't seen: ruclips.net/p/PL17cDK8nTtaUeKugtmWbX_yq6TQOjcuBZ
You got the names right, the one you didnt know is Ten he's in the chinese sub-unit, WayV (i really recommend them) and obviously NCT U and he's from Thailand. NCT U is all 20 members and the songs mix and match the members. 'Baggy Jeans' is one of the songs on the new album from NCT 2023 thats called 'Golden Age'. The members in this song are the same members who were in the debut song when NCT debuted in 2016 its called 'The 7th sense' i highly recommend it. NCT is the same thing as NCT U and in an album like this one that has just been released where all the members come together its called NCT and the year which it has been released. There have been 3 other ones NCT 2018, NCT 2020 (which was the best imo), NCT 2021 and now NCT 2023 which is already looking really good
@ChainReactionsChannel Thank you for making these videos, I haven't found someone who reacts to music that I actually really enjoy watching but, I love your videos and they are actually really fun to watch
I'm excited for you to get to explore NCT, NCT 127, NCT Dream, and WayV (and also very jealous that you get to experience it all for the first time)!! There are definitely so many NCT U songs you will really like - I'm guessing there will be other comments about how this unit combination is the famous 7th Sense group, so hopefully you watch that. I think you should check out everything(!!), but I'm guessing you will have a lot of fun watching NCT U Make A Wish (has an MV), and NCT U Misfit (has a track video so is not the full song, but it is all the rappers in one song).
Not gonna lie NCT is one of the most intimidating as a new fan to get into just because of the number of people and songs. I know a lot of reactors just play the videos and don't care about names or who the people are but I like to do my best to recognize that these are not products they're people you know? Anyway I am not going to stop just explaining why my NCT journey feels a little slow!
I don't know if anyone already answered your question, but nct 2023 is for this year's project as a whole group, the song is called golden age (just as the album), there is: nct 2018 (album: empathy), nct 2020 (album: resonance), nct 2021 (album: universe) and now 2023 (album: golden age). when it has the year after nct, it means the song has all of the current members in nct.
Since other commenters already answered most of your questions, I just want to comment: it’s interesting you mentioned about Doyoung’s shoulder because, another youtube reactor was drawn to him just merely by his shoulder moves :)) NCT 2023 is NCT - insert year - which simply means: it’s the year whenever ALL NCT members participated in a comeback… Whereas NCT U, is individual projects (released singles for NCT album, K-drama soundtracks, collaborations, or whatever special projects) where ANY number of ANY member from ANY sub-unit can be in it depending on what the song requires, how many harmony layers, how many rappers, how many vocalists etc. Therefore, ALL tracks within NCT 2023’s GOLDEN AGE album (yes there is an MV for GOLDEN AGE if you wish to react to it), wherever and whenever the members and sub-units overlap, are identified as NCT U. In every full NCT comeback there is always one track where EVERYONE participated, and could be ballad, hard core hip hop, their signature old school RnB, Jazz, Funk, or whatever these experimental kings want to do. GOLDEN AGE is that track for 2023. There are NCT 2018, NCT 2020, NCT 2021 albums as well. I hope the above is not confusing and helps a little bit to understand the difference between NCT U and NCT (year). And do not worry, based on personal experience NCTzens (their fandom name) are very chill and friendly, helpful and funny, just like their boys here, so your journey of learning will be exciting!
Yes I can understand how his shoulder work catches the attention of people. 😂 I won't lie NCT might be the most overwhelming group just because of the huge number of members but yes NCTzens have been very cool and patient as I try to learn all their faces and names. I appreciate this information, it's all helpful as I try to get familiar. Thank you for watching!
Please do check out the Golden Age album, it's amazing! Since you don't know the members very well I'd recommend looking up who's in what song since it's all NCT U combinations, but either way it's fantastic. NCT have some of the best (if not THEE best imo) music in the entire kpop industry.
golden age is the other title track from their 4th NCT (as a whole) album along with baggy jeans. It includes all of the 20 members. The album is fully made up of NCT U songs with different member combinations. they do these whole NCT albums every couple of years. I definitely recommend listening to the 2023 album
I think Taeyong and I would bond over our love of chains and grillz
Some fans called these five our Founding Fathers. :D They were unit that gave us NCT's very first song: 7th Sense (one of the BEST kpop debuts ever imo). In fact they are the ones who brought me back into kpop in 2016 after a number of years not really paying attention due to life.
This and Golden Age are the MV/title tracks for the NCT-wide project album they just dropped today (NCT 2023 Golden Age). It's a lot of variety and you never know what they are going to do next.
I'm hearing good things about 7th Sense and I'm definitely interested in Golden Age. Thank you for watching!
Ten in on WayV unit, they are coming back now on Nov 1. I recommend you to watch their track video bc it is dope and I hope you fall on love with all units
Tenlee all rounder
NCT FOUNDING FATHERS. SM SHOULD GIVE THEM A SONG EVERY YEAR!

Since everyone already broke down who Ten is and the significance of this NCT U lineup, I'll explain Golden Age and this album since you asked!

*TL;DR*: anytime you see NCT (Blank Year) that just means it's referring to ALL the members of NCT of that particular year. And it's usually accompanied by a song and album. Fans also label funny moment videos like that to show that they're including moments from the whole group. Sorry for the rant, I don't know how to be short-winded lmao especially with the mammoth that is NCT.
So interesting. It's kind of like Marvel comic books where heroes team up and pair up randomly and then every once in a while they get into bigger and bigger groups. I love that! Thank you for the information, I guess I have some time to learn more before the next project lol.
'Golden Age' is the title track (along with 'Baggy Jeans') for the new album of the same name, that dropped today. NCT 2023 just means it's a full group album in 2023. 'Golden Age' is one of only 4 mv's with all the members included. Since you love vocals and rapping, I think you're gonna love 'Golden Age'. Previous full group projects are; NCT 2018 Empathy, NCT 2020 Resonance, NCT 2021 Universe and now NCT 2023 Golden Age.
Having listened to the whole album a couple of times today, I can confirm that it's FANTASTIC. Every song is great and gives us variety in a way that only NCT can manage. I highly recommend an album listen!
Full group mv's;
Black On Black (performance video... only 18 members at the time)
Resonance (medley of 4 songs off the album... 23 members at the time)
Beautiful (only 21 members appear in the mv as 2 were on hiatus)
Golden Age (the current 20 members, having lost 3... 2 will be debuting soon in RIIZE and 1 who is now going to be a soloist).
What makes "Baggy Jeans" extra special is that this is NCT-U's original debut lineup back together again. This is really just them going back to their roots. All 5 members -- Taeyong, Mark, Ten, Jaehyun and Doyoung -- were the very first members out of all of the NCT members to debut. They were the first installment of NCT-U and the first of all of NCT's sub-units to be introduced to the world. Ten said not too long ago in an interview that he wanted to do another project with "The 7th Sense" members because it had been more than 7 years since he had done anything with just those members. I'm so happy that SM was listening and that his wish came true.
The guy you didn't recognize is Ten who is from Thailand, and he is one of the main dancers of NCT and a member of WayV, NCT's Mandarin Chinese sub-unit. He is extremely talented -- he is considered to be one of the best dancers in the entire industry, he has an amazing singing voice, he's a great rapper, he's fluent in 5 languages, he's one of the NCT members with the most solo releases and he is also a very skilled drawer and graphic design artist, etc.
Wow I am always impressed by the multilingual abilities of so many of these people! I think it's really cool that they get the original members together for projects, I was just saying in a different reply that this reminds me of comic books how heroes will pair up and group up and mix and match. Such an interesting concept for a musical group!
3:42 Cool that you said that because the member you said you didn't know, Ten, he has a solo called "Birthday" which has a some floor choreo. He's def one of the best dancers in Nct too.
Ooooh yeah I don't know why but I am a sucker for the Flooreo! I liked Ten too.
You gotta react to NCT U the 7th sense. It’s with this same line up and was the first unit debut out of all of NCT. Such a vibe, it’s a trap RnB sound.
Oh that sounds dope, I think I've seen others mention that song so I'll have to add it to the list. Thank you for the recommendation!
Thank you for the fun reaction. NCT is known for it's Swag, versatility, and experimentation with concepts and sound. It's the reason I love them. They're never run of the mill or boring, and each new configuration of members has it's own flavor. They've all been together for a really long time, and most of them trained together since their teens. So they grew up together literally. I don't know if you've checked out Dream's killing voice yet, but that unit consists of most of NCT'S maknaes (youngest) 1999-2002. They just celebrated their 7th anniversary. They debuted in 2016. Mark Lee is their unit leader. Mark and Jisung (Gee-Sung) the current maknae of all NCT and subunit Dream, just did a Studio Choom mix & max you might like too. Also, Dream had a recent comeback with ISTJ, and I think you'd like 127's last Ay yo and 2 baddies. Take care 💚
I don't know what Studio Choom is but I will look into that. Thank you for watching! I did also react to the Killing voices from Dream and 127 if you haven't seen: ruclips.net/p/PL17cDK8nTtaUeKugtmWbX_yq6TQOjcuBZ
NCT is iconic cause they are unique and creative
I agree, I talk about it in the video coming tomorrow for NCT 127 Fact Check, Stay tuned!
@@ChainReactionsChannel can't wait for it ❤️❤️❤️

You got the names right, the one you didnt know is Ten he's in the chinese sub-unit, WayV (i really recommend them) and obviously NCT U and he's from Thailand. NCT U is all 20 members and the songs mix and match the members. 'Baggy Jeans' is one of the songs on the new album from NCT 2023 thats called 'Golden Age'. The members in this song are the same members who were in the debut song when NCT debuted in 2016 its called 'The 7th sense' i highly recommend it. NCT is the same thing as NCT U and in an album like this one that has just been released where all the members come together its called NCT and the year which it has been released. There have been 3 other ones NCT 2018, NCT 2020 (which was the best imo), NCT 2021 and now NCT 2023 which is already looking really good
Very cool, 7th sense is on my list now, really enjoying the NCT journey. Thank you for watching!
@ChainReactionsChannel Thank you for making these videos, I haven't found someone who reacts to music that I actually really enjoy watching but, I love your videos and they are actually really fun to watch
I'm excited for you to get to explore NCT, NCT 127, NCT Dream, and WayV (and also very jealous that you get to experience it all for the first time)!! There are definitely so many NCT U songs you will really like - I'm guessing there will be other comments about how this unit combination is the famous 7th Sense group, so hopefully you watch that. I think you should check out everything(!!), but I'm guessing you will have a lot of fun watching NCT U Make A Wish (has an MV), and NCT U Misfit (has a track video so is not the full song, but it is all the rappers in one song).
Not gonna lie NCT is one of the most intimidating as a new fan to get into just because of the number of people and songs. I know a lot of reactors just play the videos and don't care about names or who the people are but I like to do my best to recognize that these are not products they're people you know? Anyway I am not going to stop just explaining why my NCT journey feels a little slow!
You will enjoy NCT 127 Lemonade and Gimme Gimme. Trust me, a total stranger. What could go wrong??
So far listening to strangers on youtube has worked out nicely! Thank you for watching.
I don't know if anyone already answered your question, but nct 2023 is for this year's project as a whole group, the song is called golden age (just as the album), there is: nct 2018 (album: empathy), nct 2020 (album: resonance), nct 2021 (album: universe) and now 2023 (album: golden age). when it has the year after nct, it means the song has all of the current members in nct.
Very cool I have to check that out. thank you for watching!
I like your thumbnail by the way 😂 nice one
Haha thank you. I like to wear grillz and chains so when I saw Taeyong wearing them I knew we'd get along lol.
OMG this is fun and LOVE the dancing. LOVE NCT
It is fun - thank you for watching!
Ten is in Wayv who you did not react to yet he is the blonde haired guy.
Yeah he's dope! Very skilled dancer and cool vibes, glad I got introduced to him. Thanks for watching!
subbing for nct! hopefully you’ll get to discover wayv soon ☺️
misfit and mad city next please
Since other commenters already answered most of your questions, I just want to comment: it’s interesting you mentioned about Doyoung’s shoulder because, another youtube reactor was drawn to him just merely by his shoulder moves :))
NCT 2023 is NCT - insert year - which simply means: it’s the year whenever ALL NCT members participated in a comeback… Whereas NCT U, is individual projects (released singles for NCT album, K-drama soundtracks, collaborations, or whatever special projects) where ANY number of ANY member from ANY sub-unit can be in it depending on what the song requires, how many harmony layers, how many rappers, how many vocalists etc.
Therefore, ALL tracks within NCT 2023’s GOLDEN AGE album (yes there is an MV for GOLDEN AGE if you wish to react to it), wherever and whenever the members and sub-units overlap, are identified as NCT U.
In every full NCT comeback there is always one track where EVERYONE participated, and could be ballad, hard core hip hop, their signature old school RnB, Jazz, Funk, or whatever these experimental kings want to do. GOLDEN AGE is that track for 2023. There are NCT 2018, NCT 2020, NCT 2021 albums as well.
I hope the above is not confusing and helps a little bit to understand the difference between NCT U and NCT (year). And do not worry, based on personal experience NCTzens (their fandom name) are very chill and friendly, helpful and funny, just like their boys here, so your journey of learning will be exciting!
Yes I can understand how his shoulder work catches the attention of people. 😂 I won't lie NCT might be the most overwhelming group just because of the huge number of members but yes NCTzens have been very cool and patient as I try to learn all their faces and names. I appreciate this information, it's all helpful as I try to get familiar. Thank you for watching!
The founding fathers lol
Please do check out the Golden Age album, it's amazing! Since you don't know the members very well I'd recommend looking up who's in what song since it's all NCT U combinations, but either way it's fantastic. NCT have some of the best (if not THEE best imo) music in the entire kpop industry.
Hearing so many good things about Golden Age I will definitely have to check it out. Thank you!
Try NCT 127 -Chain (japenese version)...
please react taeyong mark songs their duo combo rapper, you must hear MAD CITY thats rapp song taeyong mark is sooo cool
Please reaction Secret Number "STARLIGHT" thanks....
@triwahyuni3452 I finally had some time, here you go (I mispronounced your username and I apologize): ruclips.net/video/QIyz1AOlGzQ/видео.html
You haven't reacted the NCT's china sub unit Way V
I know 😞 but I am going to catch their comeback! Stay tuned...
@@ChainReactionsChannel I'm ready
golden age is the other title track from their 4th NCT (as a whole) album along with baggy jeans. It includes all of the 20 members. The album is fully made up of NCT U songs with different member combinations. they do these whole NCT albums every couple of years. I definitely recommend listening to the 2023 album
oh you're good - I wish I was that fast learning new groups 😅
I appreciate you saying that I'm so worried about getting names wrong and mispronouncing them but I'm trying! Thank you for watching.
