NCT 127, the K-pop subunit of SM Entertainment, is set to embark on their highly anticipated fourth world tour, titled “Neo City – The Momentum,” starting in January 2025. The tour, announced by SM Entertainment on Tuesday, will kick off with two concerts in Seoul on January 18-19. Following the Seoul concerts, the group will head to Jakarta in mid-February and continue to Bangkok, Taipei, and Macao before expanding to six cities in North America and three in Japan. This tour marks the group’s return to North America for the first time in two years, much to the excitement of their global fanbase.

The tour promises to showcase NCT 127’s dynamic performances and distinctive music style, a fusion of genres that has captivated audiences worldwide. Known for their intricate choreography and strong stage presence, NCT 127 has a reputation for delivering high-energy concerts that resonate with fans of all backgrounds.

In the midst of these tour preparations, NCT 127 recently shared a heartfelt moment as they bid farewell to Jaehyun, who enlisted in the South Korean military on November 4. Jaehyun will serve in the Army’s marching band, marking the second NCT 127 member to begin military service following Taeyong, who is currently serving in the Navy’s marching band.

On Monday, members Johnny, Doyoung, Jungwoo, Ten, and Taeyong were seen in farewell photographs posted on social media. In the pictures, the members gather around Jaehyun, smiling and placing their hands on his newly cropped hair, a traditional sign of support and camaraderie. The photos convey the bond between the members as they part with Jaehyun for his time in the military.

Despite Jaehyun’s absence, NCT 127 plans to continue with the world tour, reflecting the resilience and commitment of the group. The tour will provide fans with an opportunity to connect with the remaining members as they carry forward NCT 127’s music and performances.

NCT 127’s return to touring is a significant moment for both the band and their fans, who have eagerly awaited a new international tour. The “Neo City – The Momentum” tour underscores NCT 127’s sustained global popularity, solidifying their presence in key music markets around the world.

SM Entertainment has not yet disclosed specific tour dates and venues for all cities, but updates are expected soon. Fans can anticipate a memorable tour that highlights the group’s growth and evolution, with new performances and arrangements tailored to international audiences.

Jaehyun’s military service is expected to last approximately 18 months, and fans have expressed their heartfelt support and well-wishes for his safe return. NCT 127’s tour, meanwhile, offers a way for the group to stay connected with their international audience and keep the momentum going during Jaehyun’s temporary absence.
