The album will contain nine songs and mark NCT 127\u2019s first full-length project in two years, following the members&#8217; solo projects and mandatory military service.<\/p>\n<p>Released through SM Entertainment and Virgin Music Group, \u201cPi\u00f1ata\u201d blends several musical elements that have become central to NCT 127\u2019s experimental sound. The track includes heavy rock guitars, a funky bass line, breakbeat percussion, and hip-hop elements. The music video takes place during a late-night outing in Seoul and presents the members as streetwise fixers moving through the city. NCTzens (that is their fandom\u2019s name) will also have a chance to enjoy new songs from the upcoming album when NCT 127 headlines KCON LA on August 14, 2026.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NCT 127 \uc5d4\uc2dc\ud2f0 127 &amp;apos;Pi\u00f1ata&amp;apos; Track Video\" width=\"1240\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/s8BOZFalBI8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The group will continue their comeback promotions with the \u201cNCT 127 7th Album [BLINGY] Comeback Live Party\u201d on August 25, 2026. During that event, the members are expected to perform songs from the full-length project and share stories about how the songs were created. \u201cBLINGY\u201d also marks a temporary five-member era for Johnny, Taeyong, Yuta, Jaehyun, and Haechan. This change comes due to Doyoung and Jungwoo currently completing military service, while other former members have left the group in recent years. Former member Taeil was removed from the group in 2024 due to sexual abuse; Mark left in April 2026 and established his own label; and Winwin exited the group and the company in 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NCT 127 has begun a new era in their careers as a five-member group with the release of the music video for \u201cPi\u00f1ata.\u201d The KPop boy group released the song and an accompanying &#8220;track video&#8221; on August 11, 2026, ahead of their seventh studio album, \u201cBLINGY.\u201d The project is scheduled to be released on August [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3104,"featured_media":173555,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2264,16,7],"tags":[1227],"class_list":["post-173554","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","category-kpop","category-news","tag-nct-127"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.musicmundial.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173554","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.musicmundial.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.musicmundial.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.musicmundial.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3104"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.musicmundial.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=173554"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.musicmundial.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173554\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":173558,"href":"https:\/\/www.musicmundial.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173554\/revisions\/173558"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.musicmundial.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/173555"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.musicmundial.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=173554"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.musicmundial.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=173554"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.musicmundial.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=173554"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
