Guessing from the group image attached to the tracklist, fans think that the album might be of a chill summer aesthetic with a beachy and refreshing concept.

Additionally, as a given for album releases, NCT 127 has changed its profile pictures on Instagram and Twitter to match the album's aesthetic and fans are totally in love with the concept. Though there are a few hints that Ay-Yo is on-brand for NCT 127, fans can also sense an experimental edge which only excites them further.

With Ay-Yo promotions hours away, fans await an eventful month lined up with teasers and content releases that are in store for them, culminating with the release of the much awaited album.
