A comeback filled with familiar faces, ‘Oppa Generation’ and ‘NCT 127’s style’ [Today’s Preview]

In the busy entertainment industry, today, with various works being introduced and new and returning artists appearing in front of the public, let’s take a look at today’s major schedules.

Familiar faces…’Oppa era’ is coming

MBN’s new audition program ‘Oppa’s Generation’ (planned/directed by Moon Kyung-tae) will hold a production presentation on the morning of the 6th. Producers Ji Hyun-woo, Koo Chang-mo, Byun Jin-seop, Kim Won-jun, Min Hae-kyung, Kim Gura, Park Kyung-rim, and Moon Kyung-tae will attend this day.

‘Oppa Generation’ is a time slip audition to discover older brothers that will convey the emotion and excitement of the 80s and 90s. In order to find a new national older brother in 2023, 11 ‘older brothers’ (Goo Chang-mo, Byun Jin-seop, Kim Won-jun, Min Hae-kyung, Kim Gura, Park Kyung-rim, Joo Young-hoon, Yvonne, Bae Hae-sun, Narsha, and Kim Su-chan), starting with Ji Hyun-woo, the MC’s older brother, came together.

Among the 58 oppas from the 58 teams that advanced to the finals of ‘Oppa Generation’ after going through an intense preliminary round of about 7 months, there are already many well-known celebrities, raising expectations.

The most NCT 127-like concept

NCT 127 will hold a press conference commemorating the release of its 5th full-length album ‘Fact Check’ on the morning of the 6th and tell various stories about the new album.

Just like the album title of the 5th regular album ‘Fact Check’, which has the dictionary meaning of ‘check the facts’, NCT 127 has become a unique entity in K-pop by perfectly digesting various genres of music and extreme performances through this album. They plan to clearly demonstrate their value and identity.

The new song ‘Fact Check (不可思議)’ is a dance song with a strong main synth loop and Afro rhythm. Even if we try to ‘Fact Check’ by comparing NCT 127 to a ‘work’ and ‘wonder’ with eternal value, we will not be able to do anything anymore. We confidently expressed the message that there is nothing to be afraid of and that we are doing well.

For the performance of NCT 127’s new song ‘Fact Check (不可思議)’, which provides freshness with a different level of performance with each comeback, member Taeyong directly participated in creating the choreography. The highlight of this new song’s performance is the footwork group dance performed in accordance with the rhythmic Afrobeat rhythm that leads the song, and you can see the members’ ‘performance kings’ aspect as they move as one body.
