DJ Khaled wants on the NCT-127 train.
The group have just dropped their first English single and DJ Khaled is loving it so much he wants in on the action – even surprising the guys by confirming a collaboration live on air.
Fresh from last weeks American Music Awards, the lads visited Zane Lowes studio to chat all things music, with their new single Regular already out and their new album Regular-Irregular still to come.
While the record itself is a big move for the band, their biggest move during the interview was to get DJ Khaled to agree to a collaboration live on air. Those are some persuasive dudes. Not that he needed much convincing.
The 42-year-old FaceTimed the NCT-127 mid-interview to surprise them and confirm the collab.
I want to thank you all for showing me love man and saying you want to collaborate with me, he said as the lads could barely contain their excitement after they told Zane Lowe theyd love to work with him. Im honoured that you even think about working with me and I appreciate it. Im ready, whatever you want to do, I just want to say you all doing your thing, keep winning.

Speaking of recording in English, they confessed it had been hard and hadnt come naturally.
Regular is a Latin track that we had never done before, they told the Beats 1 DJ. Its really new and the performance is really good. Even for us English speakers, it was hard, because we were used to recording in Korean.
But they persevered as their goal is to get the world singing their music, and Regular was their attempt at pulling in the international fans.
Weve realised that we wanted to focus on spreading our music to the world, so we needed an English version of the song and wanted our international fans to listen to it. We also had to think of the vibe because its different from Korean, we wanted to deliver that the best way we could, the said.
Regular-Irregular is out Friday.
