NCT 127 has added another impressive achievement to their career. The group’s music video for “Kick It” officially surpassed 200 million views on YouTube. This milestone makes it the first NCT 127 music video to reach this number.
The popular track, which came out in March 2020, continues to attract viewers even after six years. NCTzens, the group’s loyal fanbase, have played a big role in pushing the video past this mark. The achievement shows the lasting appeal of the song and the group’s strong global presence.
“Kick It” Reaches 200 Million Views After Six Years
On August 5, 2026, at approximately 11:40 a.m. KST, the “Kick It” music video crossed the 200 million view mark on YouTube. It took about six years, five months, and 12 hours for the video to reach this number. The song was first released on March 6, 2020, as the lead single from NCT 127’s second studio album, “Neo Zone”.
This achievement is a major moment for NCT 127. While the group has several music videos with over 100 million views, “Kick It” is the first to cross the 200 million threshold. The video’s steady growth over the years shows how the song has remained popular with both new and old listeners.
NCT’s Third Music Video to Hit 200 Million Views
Beyond being a first for NCT 127, “Kick It” also became the third music video from the larger NCT brand to reach 200 million views. The first two were “Make A Wish (Birthday Song)” and “BOSS”. This places “Kick It” in an exclusive group within the NCT universe.
The milestone highlights the strong connection between NCT’s various units and their fans. Each group under the NCT brand has its own style and sound, but they all share a dedicated following that supports their music across platforms.
The Song That Defined an Era
“Kick It,” also known by its Korean title “영웅 (英雄; Hero),” is a high-energy hip-hop dance track. The song features strong beats and powerful vocals. Its lyrics carry a message of confidence and overcoming challenges. The music video draws inspiration from martial arts movies, with the members showcasing intense choreography.
The song was written by Wutan, Rick Bridges, and Danke, with production handled by Dem Jointz, Deez, Mayila Jones, and others. It was released by SM Entertainment and became one of the group’s most defining tracks.
When “Kick It” dropped in 2020, it quickly gained attention. The music video trended at number one in several countries, including Indonesia. It also helped NCT 127 achieve their first million-seller status with the “Neo Zone” album. The album peaked at number five on the Billboard 200 chart.
A Fan-Driven Achievement
The 200 million view milestone would not have been possible without the hard work of NCTzens. Fans have consistently streamed the music video over the years. Many took to social media to celebrate the news, sharing their excitement and pride.
The fandom has a history of rallying behind the group’s releases. When “Kick It” crossed 100 million views in January 2021, fans used the hashtag #KickIt_100M to mark the occasion. The same energy was on display for this latest milestone.
“Kick It” Remains NCT 127’s Most-Watched Video
