LETS GO NCITY

this was my second time seeing nct 127! i went the last time they were in toronto, back in 2019, but i'm so glad i got to see them again!! this time, taeyong and jaehyun were absent as they're completing their military service right now, which was a bit of a shame because they're two of my favourite members (jaehyun in particular is my bias). the rest of the group was still incredible though and i had the best time!!

i found the setlist to be pretty surprising, too! they didn't do any of their older hits like limitless, cherry bomb, or simon says. they didn't even do fire truck, which was pretty crazy to me as it was their debut song!! maybe a result of being down a few members? regardless, the songs they did perform were great!! well. nct great. i'm a bit of a bad fan because i think many of their songs are bad in objective terms but incredible in subjective terms (i recognize they create noise but it's noise that i like). that being said, it's also the type of music that goes crazy in a concert setting... fact check live? omg? i was going insane. i need to hear this at a club asap

in my previous super junior d&e write up, i mentioned that people sitting seems to be a reoccuring problem for kpop concerts in toronto. this was the case when i saw nct 127 in 2019 too, but it was a completely different story this time! maybe it was just because i was sitting way closer, but everyone around me was standing and having a good time. i was so happy!!! it seemed like the boys really liked it too, they kept talking about our energy!

doyoung really endeared himself to me this concert too.... he's always a member i've just been pretty neutral on, but he was so funny!! he kept bringing up tim hortons and even said he wanted to drink more iced caps... he's just like me fr!!!! he also kept trying to get mark to start crying, which leads to my next point!! mark!!! canadian national treasure!!! i thought it was so sweet how happy he seemed to be to perform in canada again, even if he didn't end up crying LOL

johnny crazy as hell for stealing someones wig. what if you went to an nct concert and johnny literally snatched your wig and didn't give it back. i love him sm
