NCT 127 Variety Show Appearances

(Updated June 2020)

This is a list of various videos featuring several or all members of NCT 127: short YouTube videos, variety shows, reality shows, etc. (Radio broadcasts are not included.) This is not a comprehensive list of every show that NCT 127 has ever appeared on. They’re mostly videos that I’ve seen, that I find entertaining, and/or that I think are helpful to get to know the group.

NCT actually has a YouTube channel where they regularly post videos for all of NCT’s members and units.  There are seriously TONS of videos, and I honestly can’t put them all here.  I’ve chosen mostly videos that coincide with a comeback.  If you want to see any other videos featuring the NCT Dream members, go explore this channel (채널 NCT DAILY). Most – if not all – of the videos have English subs! 

IMPORTANT!!! I have moved to Korea since I created this blog, and I have discovered that many videos – especially ones that are uploaded by fans with English subs – have been blocked on Korean YouTube and other websites.  So unfortunately, I cannot watch most of these videos or verify the links anymore.  This also means I cannot add as many videos as before because they simply are not available in my region.  I’m sorry if you click on something and it’s no longer there, but there’s not really any way for me to check! – Katherine

NOTE: None of these videos are mine. They belong to their respective networks or channels. Any subtitles are either done by fans or the television network distributing the show.
