Stage Practice Behind | Ep.2 | NCT 127 5TH TOUR 'NEO CITY : THE REDLINE'

The Korean context

What happened

NCT 127 rehearses staging and choreography for its fifth tour, including an opening in which the members begin suspended above the main stage. They discuss whether the pose will look cool or unintentionally funny and decide it needs careful planning.

Why Koreans care

The rehearsal conversation reveals that a planned talking segment was removed because the five-member lineup felt the concert needed to keep moving continuously. That explains why this stretch of the show is described as an unusually relentless run.

In the Korean comments

One comment reads, in translation, “The speed at which they learn the choreography and formations is frighteningly fast. They joke around and enjoy themselves in between, but still get everything done—the professionalism of a group in its tenth year.” It points viewers toward the speed of the rehearsal process, not just the finished choreography.

What the words mean

치고빠지기 (chigoppajigi) literally means “strike and withdraw,” like a quick tactical move. In the comment about feeling slightly empty after the sports-day content ended, it praises the new behind-the-scenes release as a deft, well-timed follow-up; the expression is casual and approving.
