Group NCT 127 has solidified their position at the center of the global stage with their unique individuality. Their 6th studio album, “WALK,” is receiving rave reviews from international media.

On the 23rd, the American music magazine Consequence of Sound published an article titled “NCT 127 Shines with ‘WALK'” on their official website.

The publication introduced the new album, stating, “The 6th studio album effectively showcases NCT 127’s distinctive brand color.” It further highlighted NCT 127 as “an unparalleled group that has introduced an innovative musical style never before seen in K-pop, blending their unique energy and color to deliver overwhelming music, and confidently executing it.”

Moreover, the article noted, “NCT 127 is showing their prime with their 6th studio album. The title track ‘Walk’ features a unique sound that blends well with the members’ excellent vocals, creating a balanced sound.”

The album’s tracks received widespread praise as well. The article commended, “‘Orange Seoul’ evokes nostalgia, while ‘Gas’ is a quintessential NCT 127 song full of confidence. In an era where most albums are getting shorter, ‘WALK,’ filled with 11 tracks, is a welcome addition to the music industry.”
