NCT Home in the Philippines: An immersive exhibit any NCTzen should experience
Czennies are in for a whole different level of fangirling as they get to “visit” the home of NCT.
Originally set up in Seoul, South Korea by SM Entertainment, the Philippines is the first stop of NCT Home outside their home country.
NCT Home, which is located in SM Megamall Megatrade Hall 2, is an immersive exhibit that gives every fangirl a taste of the home life of their favorite bias, from playing billiards and foosball available in the living area to simply chilling around the party area while watching the specially recorded videos of their idols.
If you’re still reeling from the NCT sub-units concerts in Manila, now is the time to unwind and chill with your bias and co-fangirls, in a more intimate way.
What to expect
The immersive experience mimics an actual home divided into 9 spots for different experiences.
Upon entering, guests will first head on to the “bus stop” before walking towards the garden that has a mini basketball court (which you can use) and into the main door.
Guests can expect to be greeted by a stuffed toy of Rocco, one of the group’s pets. His doghouse is open to human friends and it features his pawfect portraits.
In the living area, you can pose around your bias’ displayed portraits or have fun and play billiards, foosball, mini golf, and more games with your friends.
Specially recorded videos of all 20 members individually greeting you “happy birthday” are played at the bar area. In the lounge area, you can watch the members talking about their personal lives, including secrets they are willing to share with Czennies. These videos are exclusively for the exhibit only, and they cannot be found somewhere online.
Meanwhile, there are interactive screens in the hallway where you can personally customize their expressions from a smile or wink to cute wacky poses. Parallel to the screens are the actual outfits worn by the K-pop idols.
At “nighttime,” you can chill in the cozy bedroom of the boys, where you can see them playing around in the projected videos.
There are also two stations where you can get all 20 signatures of NCT members using a stamp and a special paper provided upon registration.
Capping off the tour is a house party hosted by the boys. You and your friends can watch other never-before-seen clips of the group, like behind-the-scenes videos or sit-down interviews.
