According to a report from MTV News in October 2018, NCT stands for Neo Culture Technology, which is a concept from South Korean's biggest record label, SM Entertainment. As the outlet explained, the concept aims at localizing Korean pop bands with region-specific groups. And, when it comes to NCT 127, the band is the Seoul-based unit of the label. The "127" in the band's name is an indicator of the longitude of Seoul and there are 18 acts listed under the NCT fold.
The outlet went on to reveal that the phrase "culture technology" is a strategy put into place by the label's founder, Lee Sooman, and serves as a way to bring Korean pop music to the world.
When NCT 127 appears at Vax Live: The Concert to Reunite the World, the group will be performing alongside a number of big name acts, including the Foo Fighters, Jennifer Lopez, H.E.R., J. Balvin, and Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam. The concert will air on numerous television networks and online platforms on May 8, 2021.
