K-pop group NCT 127 have announced their seventh full-length album, titled "BLINGY," will be released on 24 August via SM Entertainment/Virgin Music Group. The nine-track record forms part of the seven-member group's celebrations marking their 10th anniversary since debuting in 2016, and is described as looking back on the group's journey while opening a new chapter.

The announcement comes as NCT 127 prepare for a busy stretch: they will headline KCON LA on 14 August alongside acts including Tomorrow X Together and Treasure, before launching their fifth tour, "Neo City — The Redline," at Seoul's KSPO Dome on 18 September, with further stops in Jakarta, Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok and Taipei. The tour and album come without former member Mark, who left in April, and without Doyoung and Jungwoo, who are currently on hiatus for mandatory South Korean military service.
