NCT 127 makes waves in the US

NCT 127 has proved their popularity in the US after being the first K-Pop act to be named Apple Music’s ‘Up Next’ artist. In partnership with Jimmy Kimmel Live! for the Up Next programme, this is the popular streaming service’s first and only Korean pop act to join the artist series, which highlights new and emerging artists. Last season included the likes of Bazzi, Khalid, Billie Eilish, 6lack, Bad Bunny and Daniel Caesar.

“We’ve been on board with NCT 127 for a few years now across Apple, and are excited to welcome them as our newest Up Next artist, helping bring that K-Pop sound to the rest of the world,” Beats 1 host Ebro Darden told Billboard.
