The Ultimate Guide to NCT 127's Members 2020: Higher Faculty 

When they were playing beer pong, it did have beer. That is why Mark and Haechan weren’t playing since they weren’t 21 at the time. That was filmed in Brooklyn.

fun fact yuta was a soccer player before being a trainee under sm and now he's a good dancer,,, maybe lc and fredo can dance too 😆

18:40 that was Ten, he is from WayV and also from NCT as a whole ans SuperM too!

I'm not sure if yall have picked up on this yet, but Yuta (full name: Yuta Nakamoto) is Japanese 😅. Up until NCT2020, he was the only Japanese member (and only Japanese artist in the whole company), but now Shotaro has joined NCT (and Giselle in aespa is also Japanese). Also, Jaehyun spent a couple years in the US when he was younger. That's why his english is so good.

Doyoung is the savage one because he has to survive from all the bullies from all the NCT members. He is actually strong. He is the mom, the smart one and the one who most of the members will first call when they need help.

yuta barely gets any representation which is probably y u guys don’t know him as much :( he’s my number one bias because he is very respectful! he’s SM’s first japanese idol yet they treat him horribly:/ i hope you guys see more yuta content! he’s seriously an all rounder.

24:25 Nakamoto Yuta is japanese, he's a really good dancer and his voice is really unique, you'll recognize him instantly once you're better at names! He has a ✨healing smile✨. He often "lies", so when he's serious about smth no one believes him lmao. He wanted to be a soccer player (and he's really good at it) before auditioning for SM. Did i forget something? He's great, you'll love him!

Jaehyun is the only baritone vocalist. Hopefully that will help you recognize his voice.

For the members you're struggling with remembering; -Jaehyun definitely has the deepest voice in nct127, he's somewhat quiet and has very perfect looking eyebrows and a very traditionally handsome face. He looks pretty serious but has a very pretty smile. - Taeil is probably the shortest in nct127 but is the oldest member of all of nct. He has pretty noticeable round eyes and a more square shaped face. He's very sweet and gentle. - Yuta has pretty striking eyes and his resting face can look kinda scary or angry. He has very handsome Japanese ethnic features and looks like the main character in a j-drama. His smile is very noticeable and pretty and shows off his upper teeth. (He's actually REALLY REALLY funny without even trying- I wish the guide had mentioned it) - Jungwoo is actually the second tallest in nct127 and definitely on the taller side. Which contrasts his pretty soft sorta squishy facial features. He sorta resembles Taemin from Shinee, and has noticeable lips. ( I think those were they only ones you were struggling with so ill just put a few notes on the others) - Doyoung really closely resembles a bunny and has a round/oval eye shape. Honestly the other NCT members are always clowning him so he always looks like he's holding back tears, or smiling the pain away. He just looks clean and proper to me. - Johnny is the tallest nct127 member and one of the tallest members of nct overall. He has down turned, somewhat sleepy looking eyes. He also has a very distinct upturned lip shape. Also one of the more muscular members in NCT. - Taeyong has very noticeable and strong eyebrows. His whole face shape is just pretty sharp in general. He's pretty slender, which is probably because he's a dancer. When he's not performing, his eyes look really bright and shiny, which fans say look like boba. - Mark is pretty much average height when it comes to 127, but has a very boyish vibe. Big younger brother vibes. He has pretty noticeable cheekbones and round eyes. His face shape is pretty square. - Haechan has a pretty round face, with pretty round lips, nose and eyes.

yuta and taeyong kinda looks similar i messed in the beginning too

Haechan has a very unique beautiful voice and is incredible dancer

Yuta is savage too ,you have to react to videos about him and yes you are sleeping on him guys ,he is amazing for real you should discover him

Yuta is indeed the kind one, but he's more to that his personality is actually very interesting. He is effortlessly funny, like he doesn't have to talk much, but once he speaks he just makes everyone laugh. There may be moments where Yuta can be kinda savage too. Like how the members describe him, "Yuta may look tough on the outside, but if you get to know him he's actually very sweet." Aside from singing and dancing, he's also great with drawing and arts. He's also hugely influenced by Japanese-rock and you can see it so much especially in his recent styling, look, and overall vibe.

you guys are so confused abt that taeyong part hehehe. that was TEN from WayV. That clip was from baby dont stop promotions..

Taeyong was street casted had no experience in dance ,rap or singing so he was trained and got amazing skills now trainers even had a hard time with and thought he was hopeless surprisingly hard to believe

Nakamoto Yuta •From Osaka, Japan. •Could’ve been a professional soccer player but chose to be an idol. •Great dancer. •Underrated vocalist. •The kind one, also a little mysterious. •Used to love Winwin but now loves Mark. •He lies a lot 😂 (so much so, that he spoiled NCT 127’s recent comeback date and none of the fans believed him)

Yuta is called the kind one because he’s the one the members go to for encouragement. He’s also the one the members call the most manly and most new fans think Yuta is scary because he sometimes looks evil when he’s bored. I think looks like a manga character but I’m super bias. Yuta has a radio show for his Japanese fans. He speaks Japanese, Korean, English and Chinese. Yuta also prefers the outdoors, plays soccer like a pro and likes ballads and hard rock. Haechan loves Michael Jackson & Justin Bieber. He has a radio show and is a great MC. He’s a brat and a sore loser but he’s also clever, funny and has a heart of gold.

you messed up the whole reaction by trying to guess without pausing the video not giving spotlight to whoever was being presented in the video

yuta auditioned as a vocalist but started out as a dancer and kinda rapper (firetruck) but now hes a dancer vocalist. he used to be a soccer player then joined sm with no formal training in anything. he said he used to practice in small rooms with mirrors and practice until the mirrors started fogging up from the hear of his exhaustion. i think yuta is a very charming performer and hes capable of so many things, he just suffers from lack of screen time LMFAO so like reactors generally skip over him cos they dont rly get to see more in the things they react to.

My grandma is Japanese and said that one of the Japanese writing systems is the same as a mandarin writing system. So, they can write to each other, but cannot speak to each other.

The one with Taeyong at the restaurant was Ten(wayv/superm) They were shooting baby dont stop that time.

you’ll eventually get better with the names, it’s really not that hard lol. just watch more guides if you want and try not to talk over them so much..maybe that’ll help u😭

Choosing Haechan as your bias 💚 I knew it tho. Hahaha. But for reals, Haechan in their content is so funny and just lovable. You will love him more as you see their more of their videos. 🙈 He will definitely make your day brighter.

Yuta plays soccer since he was young and is still great at it

The guy @ 18:40 is also Ten!! He was in a unit with Taeyong for a song called "Baby Don't Stop" by NCT U! Ten is also part of the "90s Love" unit, but his fixed unit is with the group Wayv ☺️

Taeyong is the mom of the group (all 23 nct members ! 🤣) I hope you wiil do a guide for WayV too they're all on the cray cray side 🤣🤣 I love them. Thank you again peace ! ✌🏿

"Jaehyun speaks clear English" Me: He lived in America for 4 years, that's why he's here, man

I was so proud of you guys at 29:31 being able to finally identify them all correctly. NCT is like the Boss level when it comes to knowing their names and faces for new stans. Congratulations!

18:00 that’s Ten

When you guys mixed up Yuta and Taeyong, don't worry - understandable xD Lots of us did. They're basically like twins, even their hairstyles sometimes, and they always want to be together so... yep xD

Yuta is amazing

18:50 it was Ten from WayV. You get confused with some of the clips because members from other units are there.

they should have put Yuta into savage and funny category as well. the dude is something lol

also if y’all stop guessing members and talk over the video and actually pay attention to the guide you’ll remember their faces and names

Don’t push yourself to learn all of them just yet, it takes everyone some time. Just keep watching their stuff and you’ll pick it up, no pressure.

Ad plays: "Water tastes like, well.. water" I actually thought it was wendy- "SM water tastes like water"

Jaehyun speaks great English and considers himself one of the "foreign swagger" because he spent 4 & 1/2 years living in America.

This video is kinda old but i guess you have watched the newer ones :) I miss higher faculty, i was on vacay and then went back to work immediately so i only watch your reactions here and there and comment if i had the chance to. So glad you're doing this special reaction in youtube

wish you guys focused more on the guide than immediately trying to recongize them. it comes with time yall

18:01 is ten! this was during baby don't stop era

About whether Korean is closer to Japanese or Chinese, I would say it draws from both. This is because Chinese characters (hanja) were used to write Korean until they developed their own 'alphabet' which is called Hangeul. Also, the Japanese occupied Korea for a bit during the 18th century so some words were adapted from the Japanese language as well. Therefore, I would say it draws from both as well as is its own individual language. Basically, they sound very different but if you pay attention. you might catch a few words here and there that sound Japanese or you might encounter words that are derivative from Chinese known as Sino-Korean. Of course, this is based on what I have studied and my opinion, I am open to any corrections or clarifications that you might have.

The guy you kept seeing at 7:51 is Ten From WayV (Chinese subunit of NCT). At the time they were doing a promotion for "Baby Don't Stop", which was a duo by taeyong at ten.

just something to add about the members who plays instruments... Mark can also play the piano aside from the guitar which was mentioned in the video

and I'm absolutely proud of you guys getting them right next mv y'all will be recognizing them for a sec 🥰

18:00 dead 😭😂😂😂 That’s Ten 😂

So glad you're checking out the guides! Hope you'll be doing WayV as well

I'm so glad that yalls back to reacting to NCT again!! I've been waiting for your reactions to 127's latest come back fr 😌 But I guess it really is kind of a struggle to recognize a group with 23 members what makes it harder is that some of the clips used had members from other units too 😂 but I guess the only way to help you recognize them is just to watch more content that isn't related to their music! ☺️ Their skits, shows, random videos they post on youtube. This way you start recognizing them by voice both speaking and on track, or even by personality! :D It takes a while to point out each member. BUt I'm glad you guys are back for more nct!! Fighting, Higher Faculty!! ☺️

Most of NCT members can play instrument.. Mark can play guitar and piano..

One explanation to why a lot of the NCT guys play piano -- Asian parents love to make their kids learn to play piano and take it as far as they can go. lol

so many nct contents in one time fooooooo🙏💚🔥🔥🔥

LC testing Fredo about Highway to Heaven 🤣🤣 a bop💚

All of them have cool and good personality and ofc their so talentend

Almost all of them plays instruments, as most trainees are required to during their training period, most notable (they have content showing them playing the instruments) would be: Piano - Johnny, Jaehyun, Taeil, Mark, Haechan, Doyoung Guitar - Mark Sports: Soccer - Yuta, Jungwoo, the rest have pretty basic soccer skills. Basketball - Jaehyun, Mark, Haechan(unconfirmed, Shotaro said he was good) Bowling - Jaehyun, highest ever bowling score in ISAC.

AYE U GOT EM!! WE AREEE WE ARE PROUD!

He speaks good English cause he lived in America for 4 years lol. It’s a running NCT joke that never gets old 😂

i love this content

The one you thought was Jungwoo was Ten from WayV and NCT U

18:40 that was Ten! He's in WayV, not in NCT127 so it's ok if you didn't know lol

to answer ur questions 1. japanese is closer to chinese (because of kanji but thats iy) but theyre all very very very different 2. WayV is completely chinese all members are chinese, Xuxi is half thai half chinese 3. You’re getting them right 80-90% of the time! amazing video

nah cuz i’m literally binge watching their videos 😭

17:54 the one next to taeyong is Ten from NCT, WAYV and SuperM

18:05 he is Ten.( WayV) 22:53 Doyoung said... Did you see that? I won. He is so cute and nice. This is true. I think if you want to know more about NCT 127, it would be better to watch another video. 33:14 Korean used to use Chinese characters long time ago. Because there were no letters, but only languages. However, King Sejong made Hangul(own Korean letters) for the people and was evaluated as the most scientific text. In fact, some minorities and tribesmen who did not have letters adopted Hangul as letters.The reason was that all sounds could be written. There are words that have similar pronunciations to those of China and Japan. Because I've been using Chinese characters for a long time. We use Hangul not similar anything. I proud our Hangul, our unique alphabet. 😊😊 Sorry for my bad English and thank you so much your reaction video.

blow my mind is one of my favourite japanese songs from nct 127. its such a pretty sounding song ugh

You guys are doing great at learning their names don't rush it's better to go slow and get them correctly than to rush and have no idea which ones right also talk a little less over the video you can hear them sometimes saying each other's names so that'll help you with pronunciation.

About the beerpong...yes there was beer in the cups

At 18:48 that’s Ten him and Taeyong actually did a duo together called Baby Don’t Stop y’all NEED TO REACT TO IT OMG

Doyoung-is pronounced like dough-nut, dough-young, Doyoung Jaehyun-is pronounced like jay-hyun - like yuh or run with a y, jay-hYUHn, jaehyun Haechan-is pronounced like hey-ch-ahn, haechan not like Channing Tatum (the sound of Channing sounds similar to Anne). I hope this is helpful it takes a little time to get their names right, it took me a while😀😁😄

Taeil’s favorite singer is Stevie Wonder. He breaks out singing his songs randomly. Jaehyun has a soulful voice and lived in the US for 4 years so his English is really good. Johnny is from Chicago and was a trainee with EXO Doyoung is savage AF don’t let the voice fool you. He has also started acting. Mark Lee is from Canada

Pleasedo more NCT127 contents. Subscribed. Thanks a lot for this reaction.

18:00 it's ten. He's part of Wayv, Taeyong and Ten has song together NCT U Baby Don't Stop. NCT 127 members and Ten been together since training days.

Oh yes please, blow my mind is such a good song😍💚

please please react to Wayv's guide too!!

I'm not sure if someone said it already BUT that was Ten sitting by Taeyong.

Thanks to Mark Lee's teachers who went on strike that day of the audition,and he's older brother who brought him to the audition..

At 17:50, that's Ten with Taeyong. ^^ They were filming for Baby Don't Stop promo and went to the restaurant.

127 has 10 members with 1 inactive member WinWin. he has not officially left the unit

🤣 U guys were so funny and cute trying to figure them members out 😆

Yuta and Taeyong do look similar to alot of ppl depends on the angle sometimes

fun fact: taeyong traded his off whites for art at the MTV awards a couple years ago and they surfaced on ebay haha. i’m not sure who owns them now but they sure are lucky

Jaehyun is a baritone. he does add flavors to nct's songs and in kpop industry baritone vocalist is very rare. also, he is a sub rapper too.

18:10 with Taeyong was Ten, he's in NCT but not in NCT 127 unit (he's in WayV and NCT U) together they have a song called "Baby don't stop"

aw man :(( i love this video so much but I just feel like this specific guide showed a performance of haechan that didn't showcase all his vocal ability, and the song he was singing too.

Chinese Japanese and Korean have similar pronunciation in many words bcs at first we all use chinese character.Now japanese still use many chinese characters but korean create a new character system years ago.

29:09 oh my god I kinda feel so proud right now cuz you've got everyone right🥰💚😢

Mark's my bias. He snatched my ass up with his laughter.

As for Mark and Taeil they play the guitar and piano (search for Mark's video lol), Johnny, Jaehyun, Haechan, Doyoung play the piano

Fighting because nct2021 comeback next month 25 members

Johnny is also a rapper/ sub-vocalist but SM hardly gives him any lines🥲

Fun fact, to survive in SM entertainment before debut, the trainees must learn at least 1 to 2 instruments. Only for the extremely talented one they do not need to.

what a talented man you are Mr Lee Taeyong

Nct not just visuals, they are really talented. U Need to watch more nct’s video

Its ok to have multiple biases, it's hard to choose between johnny, jaehyun and dohyoung for me for all different reasons. And jungwoo just bias wrecking me for his cute energy

7:22 is SM rookies. The ones dancing were Johnny, taeyong, yuta, ten, jaehyun and ex sm rookie Hansol, . Its NCT before debuting.

lol why did you guys change your pronunciation of Doyoung 😊 you've had it on point for months, (Doh or dough young). You are awesome for learning their faces and names 👏

That's 10 aka Li Yong Qin, Lee Young Heum, Chittaphon leechaiyapornkul from NCT, SuperM

You should react to their Halloween videos, that's when Jungwoo became Rose of Titanic, a whole fandom agree that he's so beautiful as rose, he can even beat us girls 😂

36:48 "when do they have time to learn instruments" They mostly learnt it during training!, if im not mistaken in SM (their company) they require for the trainees to learn at least one instrument. So they probably took classes during their training days

There’s no D in Yuta, like it’s funny when you guys pronounce his name “Yuda” 😭 it’s just YuTA

him thinking everyone was jungwoo killed me 😭

the way you guys reaction nct 127 members really make my day, thank you!
