Lemonade
Although a tracklist for NCT 127’s forthcoming album was revealed, not many details about its content are available. On “Spoiler Night,” Taeyong gave away information about one of the songs. While the other members seemed hesitant about attaching the adjective to it, Taeyong described “Lemonade” as “refreshing.” The track, dubbed a “couple song,” will be promoted alongside the main title of the album, STICKER.
Taeyong : When you see it somehow, our couple song (the song they'll be performing along with title song) is refreshing, right?
Everyone : *in unison, unsure* Refreshing………..ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ they even harmonized when they're talking ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Space Cowboys?
During one of the segments of the broadcast, NCT 127 played a relay drawing game. The guys drew together to offer fans a teaser of what their upcoming music video will look like. The result hinted at a “cowboy” concept and a green vehicle. Later on, Yuta openly mentioned that one of the sets of the music video was cowboy-themed, causing his fellow members to laugh nervously at the spoiler.

Through Thick And Thin
It is common knowledge that NCT 127 is a tight-knit group. During the V-LIVE transmission Doyoung proved their close bond by sharing a story on how Jaehyun has supported his personal endeavors. The vocalist, who recently dabbled into musical acting, told fans that his fellow member gifted coffee to the staff of “Marie Antoinette,” on the day of his debut.
