The 10-member group NCT 127 dropped their new MV today for the upcoming album “Neo Zone”. The band’s second full-length album, which will include 13 tracks, will be released on 6 March.
The album’s lead track – ‘Kick It’ – also goes by the Korean title 영웅, which is translated as “Hero”; and the members of NCT 127 show off their flaming charisma while transforming into heroes in the music video, demonstrating some classic Bruce Lee moves while also mentioning him in the lyrics.
imagine how wild the fanchants for kick it would be at concerts/award shows. everyone screaming “NEW THANGS NEW THANGS” and BRUCE LEE at the top of their lungs, damn it would be a new level of crazy #KickItMV #KickItWithNCT127 @NCTsmtown_127 pic.twitter.com/Uaj8vCpFgu

The whole comeback was promising and was a nostalgic homage to old movies and games from the start, as when it was first announced on 12 February, the timeline was full of photo and video content.
