Line #21 Awesome/NCT


1	* Becoming one of the biggest K-pop acts worldwide despite doubts and assumptions that they wouldn't live up to the [[ToughActToFollow massive success of their company seniors]].
2	* Whenever NCT and their respective sub-units win an award, the ethnically diverse members are sure to deliver their speech in different languages, just like [[https://youtu.be/X-l_8JExBnc when NCT 127 received their New Artist Award]] and [[https://youtu.be/Hl0f3Z-_gwA when NCT won multiple categories]] at the 2020 Mnet Asian Music Awards.
3	* NCT 127 and NCT Dream are among the very few K-pop artists to hold solo concerts at South Korea's largest sports venue, the Seoul Olympic Stadium.
4	** Both sub-units performed for two nights as part of their respective tours, for a total of 240,000 fans in the audience!
5	* Mark is often called SM's best rapper (although that is definitely a matter of opinion).
6	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWZSodFs5SM Taeil's high & long notes.]]
7	* Ten's performance on the first episode of Hit the Stage, seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdVxYyE65Oo here]].
8	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hSQGm-YMWc The 0701 practice video.]]
9	* The lyrics to Mad City.
10	* From Abnormal Summit, Yuta (albeit playfully) calling out the men discussing which country has the most beautiful women for only caring about looks.
11	** "Could this be possible? / Am I that powerful? / Guess that’s why rumors / around the world are saying that / Mark is absolutely fully capable."
12	** "Stop caring about other people's thoughts, this is originally you / Whatever anybody says I'm gonna do gotta go / By the time you get your head straight I'm gone I'm done."
13	** "Why are they doubting TY?"
14	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpFaIGvENQ0 The NCT/SMRookies showcase.]]
15	* Winwin's handstand flip in the Firetruck choreo. He does it without hands in the original choreo, too!
16	* ''#[=JOHNNY=]'' trended worldwide on Twitter after his teasers were released.
17	* In a matter of not even a month since its release ''Limitless'' outsold yearly sales of their previous [=EP=], ''127''.
18	* [[https://pp.userapi.com/c637918/v637918503/2de64/h0wiihiA4m8.jpg All the people]] who showed up for NCT's performance in Thailand.

22	* According to a fanaccount, Yuta, who's known for his brazen, nonconformist personality, [[FlippingTheBird flipping off]] a well-known [[LoonyFan sasaeng]] who's stalked other groups and telling her to get lost. K-Pop groups members are notoriously harassed and injured by stalkers and mobs, and are usually expected to silently put up with it. Seeing a member of a well-known group retaliate against people who've terrorized, mobbed, and stalked NCT for years is [[TheDogBitesBack cathartic]]. BewareTheNiceOnes indeed.
23	* "Perfume". NCT Dojaejung's debut song became an instant BreakthroughHit, and is recognized by both fans and non fans as one of the best K-pop songs released in 2023, and one of NCT's best title tracks. Even haters who generalize NCT's music as "noisy" went on to praise "Perfume" for being [[SurprisinglyGentleSong surprisingly good]].
24	** NCT Dojaejung went on to break multiple records, including becoming the fastest NCT unit to earn a top five hit in South Korea[[note]]They achieved this just one week after debut, while NCT 127 and NCT Dream earned their first top five hit six years into their career[[/note]], and their debut extended play becoming the best-selling album by a K-pop sub-unit. They achieved great feats in both [[https://twitter.com/NCTDJJCharts/status/1651409743242510337?s=20 domestic]] and [[https://twitter.com/127CENTRAL/status/1655961906874834952?s=20 international]] charts, [[InstantlyProvenWrong an unexpected turn of events]] for [[InfantSiblingJealousy fans of other NCT members]] who insisted that "nobody wanted this unit."
