NCT 127 Marks 10th Anniversary with Met Gala-Inspired Celebration for Fans

NCT 127 has officially reached its 10th anniversary, celebrating the milestone with a lighthearted "NCT Gala" that put fans at the center of the occasion.

The group shared Met Gala-inspired photos and videos on social media, posing in formalwear and recreating the event's iconic bathroom selfie. Adding their own twist, the familiar "NO SMOKING" sign was replaced with "NO 127, NO LIFE."

The content also featured a playful awards ceremony dedicated to NCTzens. Haechan presented the "Happiness Award," wishing fans many more happy moments together. Jaehyun handed out the "Thank You Award" to express his gratitude for fans' support over the past decade, while Taeyong received the "Long Service Award." Yuta shared the "Reliable Companion Award," saying he doesn't make promises about "forever" lightly but that the past 10 years together are memories he deeply treasures and hopes to continue making. Johnny rounded out the event with the "Feast Award," encouraging fans to celebrate with good food and gather energy for what's ahead.

NCT 127 also opened sales for its official 10th anniversary merchandise, giving fans another way to join the celebration.

Since debuting on July 7, 2016, the group has released signature tracks including "Cherry Bomb," "Kick It," "Sticker" and "Fact Check." Despite lineup changes over the years, NCT 127 has remained one of K-pop's defining performance acts.

With the broader "NCT 2026" project already teased, fans are now looking ahead to new music, tours and the group's next chapter as it enters its second decade.
