NCT JNJM, who made a successful unit debut by sweeping major domestic and international music charts, is garnering an explosive response from global fans with their high-quality performance.
On February 25th KST, 1theK, Kakao Entertainment’s leading global K-pop media outlet, released a new episode of "1theKILLPO," featuring NCT JNJM performing the title track from their first mini-album, "BOTH SIDES." During the performance, Jeno and Jaemin showcased their individual charms while maintaining a balanced harmony, proving their undeniable unit synergy.
Produced by 1theK, "1theKILLPO" is a premium performance series where global fans vote to select the "killing point" of a song. In that specific segment, the artist’s outfits, styling, filming techniques, lighting, sets, and stage effects undergo a dramatic transformation. Known for maximizing concept shifts, the series has become a fan favorite. In this latest episode, the duo showcased two contrasting concepts to match the song's message of captivating someone with two different charms.
Initially, NCT JNJM appeared in casual street outfits featuring denim and white tones, elevating the mood with their signature bright and energetic vibe. Their flexible yet powerful choreography against a vibrant, sensory background highlighted their refreshing and free-spirited appeal. The atmosphere then shifted instantly as they changed into all-black long coat suits, completing a look of restrained sexiness and deep charisma. Playful facial expressions and the use of pink heart-shaped objects added liveliness, while their precise control and powerful movements increased the density of the performance.
In a previous interview, NCT JNJM stated, "The performance was composed to sensually bring out the rhythm and beat of the song. You’ll be able to discover various charms that stand out in each part by following our fingertips." Since the release, global fans have shared glowing reviews, such as, "The performance feels so full when Jeno’s power meets Jaemin’s clean lines," and "The suit visuals amidst the heart confetti are legendary."
PD Noh Eul of 1theK, who directed the shoot, explained, "We mobilized various stage effects and lighting to express the performance with maximum impact. The professional attitude of the artists, who wanted to show a perfect image to their fans, resulted in top-tier content."
