NCT 127 lit up the America's Got Talent stage on Wednesday, August 19, delivering a high-energy medley of 'Kick It' and 'Piñata' during the Season 21 live results show, broadcast from the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in California.
Performing as a five-member lineup — Johnny, Taeyong, Yuta, Jaehyun, and Haechan — the group brought their signature energy and slick dance moves to the stage on a night when the show announced its first batch of semifinalists. The set opened with "Kick It," released back in 2020, before transitioning into "Piñata," the lead single from their upcoming seventh studio album, BLINGY.
The timing is perfect as BLINGY, out August 24, will feature nine tracks and marks NCT 127's first full album in two years — with Doyoung and Jungwoo currently completing mandatory military service. The AGT stop was part of a packed U.S. promotional run for the group, who also headlined KCON LA 2026 at the Crypto.com Arena just days earlier.
Formed a decade ago in Seoul, NCT 127 marked its performance during a night that also saw magic act Hundred Fingers earn a Golden Buzzer from Howie Mandel, sending them straight to the finale.
America's Got Talent airs live Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 8/7c on NBC, with next-day streaming on Peacock.
