The record that has all NCTzens pulling out the champagne is the title song’s position on the Melon chart. To everyone’s surprise, “Kick It” landed in the top ten, snatching up the seventh spot. Why is that so amazing?

NCT 127’s last title track “Superhuman” nearly missed the top fifty, coming in at number forty-nine. Even popular tracks “Limitless” and “Regular” hadn’t been able to crack the top ten upon debuting on the Melon chart.
On the very first day, “Kick It” has not only become their highest-charting title track on the platform but all of NCT’s units, beating out NCT Dream‘s “Boom” that placed at nineteen. There’s just one more achievement that has fans thrilled.
