I. Introduction
NCT Life is an ongoing Korean reality/variety series that follows the members of the boy group, NCT, as they travel, play and perform. The group structure of NCT is unique among K-Pop groups due to the fact that the concept of NCT is an ever expanding group with "unlimited" members and it is comprised of several individual subunits. Currently there are 23 members in NCT, making up four individual subunits.
Members of all of the sub-units have featured in seasons, although not every member has been featured. Shotaro, Sungchan and WayV's Xiaojun, Hendery and Yangyang have never appeared on NCT Life.
Each season follows a specific theme with recurring or new members, dependent on the theme, such as travel, behind-the-scenes preparations for performances, competitions and games. Some seasons are produced in conjunction with national or local tourism boards and have aired on both conventional and streaming platforms. In early seasons of the show, some featured members may not have yet debuted with NCT or in a permanent sub-unit.
The series currently has 11 seasons.

IV. NCT Trivia
Many familiar and popular memes or references within the fandom appear in the NCT Life series.
Episode 1:
- Jeno being boring and not funny is a long-running joke with the Dreamies.
- Some of the Dreamies appeared in the first season of NCT Life, NCT Life in Bangkok before their debut (Jaemin, Jeno and Jisung), although this is not referenced here. The past show used here is Renjun and Chenle first appearance in the series, in season 5 during a NCT Dream focused season - NCT Life: Entertainment Retreat.
Episode 5:
- Chenji is the portmanteau of Chenle and Jisung - together they host a web show Chenle & Jisung's This and That or Chenji's This & That.
- Jaemin mentions that he has never had a single room of his own since he was a trainee. He will get one later in this same year.
Episode 7:
- The members have a challenge to memorize the kid's song "Dino ABCs" from Pinkfong. They will later collaborate on a special version of the song as part of their promotions for the Hot Sauce album in 2021. Members sing in the same order as this segment.
- They reference Lelesaurus, which appeared in the last NCT Dream season of NCT Life - season 5, NCT Life: Entertainment Retreat.
Episode 9:
- Chenji's This and That is back - episode 8, they made dalgona.
Episode 11:
- Renjun wore Peter Pan in NCT Dream's We Go Up Halloween Costume Version video in 2018.
- Renjun's voice has cracked on stage in performances, so it remains an ongoing joke with all of them.
Episode 12:
- Chenle can't do aegyo well and Jisung dislikes it.
- Jaemin is the aegyo expert - he previously did it repeatedly on Weekly Idol, leaving the hosts and Dreamies falling down with laughter.
- Ongoing theme: the maknae Jisung has a bad feeling/is scared; Chenle being funny, overly confident and over the top; Smart Jeno; cool boss Jaemin.
