2027 NCT 127 SEASON’S GREETINGS BEHIND

Why Koreans care

A member reveals that when he previously wrote that he had “filming” at the group’s pop-up store, fans spotted the clue: this Season’s Greetings shoot was the schedule he had referred to.

In the Korean comments

Two highly liked comments turn the footage into contract-renewal speculation. One reads, in translation, “Their renewal negotiations must really have been incredible”; another says, “I can’t even imagine how well they negotiated the renewal.” Neither comment confirms what was negotiated.

What the words mean

우리칠 (urichil, “our 127”) literally resembles “our seven,” but here it is affectionate fan shorthand for NCT 127, built from “our” and the final digit of the group’s name. Its register is casual and fond.
