- Jaehyun: Thank you so much to NCTzen (fandom nickname) for waiting. I'm looking forward to this album because I think we can show you the crew-down side of NCT 127. Please enjoy it with us!
- Jungwoo: I can't believe it's already our 6th full-length album. As it was our sixth full-length album, we worked hard on it and it turned out to be a good album. We'll show you different charms and improved music and performances from what we've shown so far, so please look forward to it.
Q. Please introduce the 6th full-length album 'WALK'.
- DOYOUNG: The 6th full-length album contains the meaning of 'We will move forward without paying attention to other people's eyes with our own steps' in line with the keyword of 'Creaking'. It's an album that goes beyond the meaning of the word "squeak" and tries to define it nicely in our own way.
- Mark: 'WALK' is our 6th studio album! It's composed of songs where you can feel NCT 127's personality once again. You can feel our seventy thousand 'hip' itself.
Q. What part did you put the most effort into while preparing for the 6th full album 'WALK?
- DOYOUNG: We prepared the choreography for 'Walk' by paying the most attention. I think I made my opinion thinking that it would be a dance that I can enjoy while playing with my friends.
- Johnny: I put a lot of effort into this album. We worked really hard on every single track from the title track to the weight of the 6th full-length album.

- YUTA: Wow~! It's intense!It felt like ' first. Especially, I think the chorus part is good, and it's better to watch and listen to it with a performance video!
- JH: When I first heard it, it was a song with a vibe that made me feel hooked. The highlight is the performance that blends with the groovy sound of the song. It's different from the performances I've shown so far, so please look forward to it.
- Mark: When I first heard it, I was overwhelmed by the hip old school atmosphere. It was the best old school genre I've ever heard. The highlight is the hipness of NCTzen. I think the handkerchief performance is very impressive and it's a point!
Q. What kind of charm are you going to show with the title song "Walk"?
- Johnny: We tried to melt NCT 127's relaxation and style as much as possible. From the sound of the song to the lyrics and performance, we want to show you a cool and confident charm.
- Jungwoo: I want to show you the old school hip-hop genre with our own colors. We're going to show you our hip vibe, so please look forward to it!
Q. What is the highlight of the music video for the title song "Walk"? Do you have any other memorable episodes while filming?
- Yuta: This time, we filmed more group scenes than individuals. So it seems like Crew 127's charm is more revealed, so keep an eye out for our teamwork and chemistry! And there were many group shots, so I had more time with the members, so I had more fun during the shoot, and every moment was memorable.
- Jungwoo: There was a scene where we filmed together in the car, and I think that part will come out hip and neo, so please look forward to it. It was impressive to see everyone enjoying the scene as one, and I think it was more fun to be with the members.
- HAECHAN: It was my birthday during the music video shoot, and I really remember that they threw me a surprise party. Thank you so much, and thanks to you, I was able to have more fun filming. Thank you guys! (laughs)

- Taeil: When we filmed the track video for "'Meaning of Love', I felt excited because we filmed a brighter style song than usual. Maybe because it's a fan song, the fans came to mind throughout the shoot, and I also felt better because I was drunk on the atmosphere of the song." (laughs)
Q. Is there a goal or achievement you want to achieve with the 6th full album "WALK"?
- Taeil: I want to show the relaxed and mature sides of NCT 127. If you like our songs and enjoy our promotions, I don't think there's anything more I want.
- Mark: I'd like to hear a lot of people say 'NCT 127 as expected'. I'm so proud of NCT 127, so I feel the best when I hear that. (laughs)
Q. July 7th is our 8th anniversary. Please tell us how you feel.
- DOYOUNG: I felt a little weird. It's our 8th anniversary while preparing for this album, which will bring us another preciousness, so I think we were a little more emotional than any other time. It felt very new, and I was so thankful and touched that I spent this much time with the members. And as an artist who's been active for 8 years, I want to show you a great performance.
- HAECHAN: The 8th anniversary is bigger and deeper. As I remembered the times I've been doing activities, I felt a sense of weight and more responsibility. I want to say thank you again to the members who have been with me so far, and I love you!
