The official announcement of NCT 127’s upcoming album, STICKER, dropped on August 22. Since then, more details and information about the group’s third full-length album have been revealed. In addition to a schedule and a mood sampler, the group has kept fans on their toes with the unveiling of visually striking teasers.

 

“STICKY” Teasers

Ahead of their comeback promotions, the first preview for NCT 127’s “STICKER” has come full circle with the release of Johnny, Mark, and Haechan’s individual teasers. 

Corresponding to the “STICKY” concept, previous teasers for the rest of the members —Taeil, Jungwoo, Doyoung, Taeyong, Yuta, and Jaehyun— were released on social media. The hyper-colored pictures and video clips showed the members of NCT’s Seoul-based unit posing confidently against a green background. Focusing on an aesthetic that fuses technology with loose references to science fiction, the teasers are a feast for the eyes.

Theories about what the teasers symbolize and what “STICKER” will sound like based on the images have made rounds on Twitter.
