NCT Life in Bangkok


  • 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.


    II. Overview

    NCT Life in Bangkok is the first season of NCT Life and features the pre-debut members of NCT, when they are still members of SM Rookies and follows their journey to debut. As part of the show, Ten serves as a guide to the other members to his native Thailand, including Hansol, Taeil, Johnny, Taeyong, Yuta, Doyoung, Jaehyun, Mark, Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin and Jisung. Members also interview on local TV shows and perform in appearances, while learning Thai customs and language. Additionally, members offer insights into their casting and training. Members also toured Ten's old school and talked to his teachers. All of the featured members would later go on to debut in NCT except for Hansol, who left SM Entertainment in 2017.
