When SM announced NCT2018 project, I was excited. It kind of reminded me of when they decided that EXO needed to promote together and form an unstoppable force as OT12 instead of continuously breaking them into K and M unit. NCT2018 with 18 members, it's perfect!

However, it is still hard for me to get into NCT because I just don't like their music. They often push Taeyong for the center with the most lines and I have to say this : He's very pretty but I don't like his voice. I tried listening to their songs after I got hyped for their comebacks and ... they're alright, I guess. I have to admit though, a part of me is avoiding their songs because of fear that I will fall for them. I'm sure if I listen to the songs on repeat, they will grow on me although my initial reaction was a strong dislike.

I never bought any NCT songs until... Black on Black. I was reading people's reaction on Omona and I saw many disliking the song. I was curious so I went ahead and watch the performance MV. To my surprise, unlike other NCT songs, I actually like it! It's weird because people kept mentioning the similarities between Black on Black with EXO's Wolf and God I hate that song but I like this one! I played the MV several times and the tunes stuck in my head so I just had to have it. I purchased the song and watched their performances on music show stages.

Another thing, when I first watched the MV, I was at the office so I watched it without any audio. And despite the good choreo, the first thing I noticed was their moves were out of sync with each other. There were no music to listen to so my focus was on visuals only and I was actually surprised that they weren't as good as I thought they would be. Granted, synchronized dancing is much harder when the choreography is complicated and you have movements of 18 people to match.

So far... maybe because my full attention is on BTS, none of the NCT kids is appealing to me. I don't feel any special connection with any of them but I do know most of their names and I'm happy when I see some of the kids get the spotlight. I saw the Billboard interview and I must say, Johnny is REALLY good in handling this. Just like when I saw him MC along with Leeteuk at the comeback live showcase on VLive, he's really good!

Members that I like; Yuta, Winwin, Taeyong for his face. My love for Lucas is cancelled.
