SM Entertainment announced on March 17 that the trio would be the next set of NCT members to contribute a song to the newly launched ‘NCT Lab’ project, which exists under the company-wide ‘SM Station’ initiative.

Due out March 20 at 6pm KST, ‘CoNEXTion (Age Of Light)’ is described by Taeil and Haechan in the latest episode of NCT News to be an “alternative hip-hop song that uses traditional Korean instruments”, with Mark having co-written its lyrics. The video also features behind-the-scenes snippets of the trio in the studio working on the song.

After the announcement, fans noticed that the song had already been teased earlier in December 2021, through a dance video by noted K-pop choreographer Lia Kim. However, it remains unclear whether her take on the song will be the official choreography.
