NCT 127 recently released a behind-the-scenes video of the group's preparation for their fourth concert tour, Neocity: The Momentum, which was kicked off in January 2025. The video was released on April 9, 2025, on the group's YouTube channel.
It showed how the members discussed the setlist, including Doyoung's strong fight to keep the song Far in the setlist. Other members protested the inclusion of the song because of its high notes, but Doyoung continued to fight for it and eventually got the song included.
