NCT 127 open Neo City: The Redline with sold-out Seoul run

NCT 127 opened their fifth headlining tour with three sold-out nights in Seoul. The run, titled Neo City: The Redline, closed on Sept. 20 at the KSPO Dome in Olympic Park after starting on Sept. 18.

Every seat sold. That includes restricted-view seats, which are seats with a partial view of the stage usually sold last. SM Entertainment, the group's label, put total attendance across the three nights at roughly 31,500, as reported by Billboard.

The Seoul dates doubled as a 10th anniversary celebration. NCT 127 debuted in 2016 as the Seoul-based sub-unit of NCT, a smaller fixed lineup drawn from the larger NCT project.

Seoul was performed by a five-member lineup. Two absent members, Jungwoo and Doyoung, are completing mandatory military service in South Korea. They still made it to the room.

The pair appeared in the audience on the final night. Doyoung brought a rice cake he had prepared to mark the group's 10th debut anniversary. The Sept. 20 finale had been scheduled for 4 p.m. local time.

There was new material on stage too. Leader Taeyong performed a newly written rap verse during “Cherry Bomb.” The show was organised as a full anniversary set, mixing older songs with recent releases.

For fans outside Seoul, this means the opening was not closed off. The Sept. 19 and 20 concerts were streamed live worldwide through Beyond LIVE and Weverse, the paid concert-streaming platforms run with SM and Hybe.

The tour now moves across Asia and runs through January 2027. Confirmed stops include Jakarta, Hong Kong, Singapore, Saitama, Bangkok, Manila, Taipei and Kuala Lumpur.

Some dates are already fixed. The group plays Jakarta on Oct. 3, Hong Kong on Oct. 10-11 and Singapore on Oct. 18, according to an NCT 127 tour post. Later notices list Taipei Arena on Jan. 2, 2027, UNIFI Arena in Kuala Lumpur on Jan. 9 and The Venetian Arena in Macau on Jan. 16, according to a Weverse notice.
