NCT 127 Brings An “Earthquake” In New Track Video

NCT’s third album is only a few days away. Gearing up toward its release, the group has offered a first look at the songs featured in Universe. Following NCT DREAM’s “Dreaming” and Way V’s “Miracle,” NCT 127 brought a track video for their song “Earthquake.”

Bring The Earthquake

In preparation for NCT’s forthcoming album, NCT 127 is raising anticipation with the single “Earthquake.” On December 6 (KTS) the group unveiled a track video for the song. The 2:37-minute clip shows the members of the NCT subunit in an industrial-style setting, aftermath of a natural disaster. The nine-member act appears confidently singing and dancing to a hip-hop-infused track that provides rock elements and a powerful chorus. The single, which is described as a song with “explosive energy,” highlights the group’s “rough, chic charms”. Meanwhile, animal prints, leather jackets, and staples of grunge fashion blend in the styling for “Earthquake.” 

Teaser Pictures 

The track video comes after a slew of group and individual photos posted on social media the day prior. The teaser pictures showed all nine members confidently posing and flaunting their “intense charisma.”  Taeil, Johnny, Doyoung, Taeyong, Yuta, Jaehyun, Jungwoo, Mark, and Haechan caught attention dressed in looks proper of NCT 127’s experimental brand.
