NCT’s newest movie has received mixed reviews from NCTzens, who expressed disappointment over the film’s setlist, credits, and many more.
Here’s what people are saying.
NCTzens Unsatisfied with ‘NCT NATION: To The World’ for THESE Reasons
NCT didn’t hesitate to spend the year 2023 with their fans through music, content, and performances.
Aside from their discography, the group has also offered NCTzens their newest feature film “NCT NATION: To The World,”showcasing their performances from the concert of the same name which contained all of NCT’s active sub-units.
Fans of NCT were more than delighted to see the film, as they would bear witness to the group’s exciting stages and moments. However, shortly after it was premiered in cinemas, fans criticized SM Entertainment for several issues with the movie.
According to NCTzens, they pointed out the movie’s omission of “staple”tracks such as “The 7th Sense,””Perfume,””Hot Sauce,”and “Ay-Yo.”

Meanwhile, the fandom also mentioned another problem with the film, such as the absence of in-person interviews with the members and behind-the-scenes footage. Such special content was featured during NCT DREAM’s movie “In a DREAM”earlier this 2023.
this is the list of songs in the nct nation movie. there are apparently no behind the scenes and no special interviews with the members. there is an interview with fans and also animation but most of it is just purely the concert (with many songs cut out) https://t.co/OXRN47GENH

Fans have also criticized the movie’s ending credits. They claimed that member Taeil, who is currently recovering from his motorcycle injury, wasn’t involved in the credits despite his voice being heard in the background. The credits also misspelled Hendery’s name to “Hendrey.”
excluding taeil on the credits, used his voices as the back track, did not include taeil practice videos in the movie.is this the way how you treat the most talented singer in your company? what a joke.#SMTreatTAEILFairly @SMTOWNGLOBAL @NCTsmtown_127 pic.twitter.com/VX4ejUhq9v
