10 Reasons Why NCT U’s “BOSS” Was Iconic…And Why SM Entertainment Needs To Bring It Back

It’s been over two years since NCT‘s NCT U unit released the iconic song, “BOSS”, complete with harnesses and military uniforms. The song and concept was so exceptional that popular reality show, Produce 101, even included it in its boy group cover song component! As NCTzens miss the “BOSS” boys a little more today, here are 10 reasons why SM Entertainment needs to bring it back.

1. It has the power to attract more stans

According to a recent survey by fandom app BLIP, the song that brought the most fans (30%) into the NCTzen family was none other than NCT U’s “BOSS”.

Many have been calling for SM Entertainment to bring back a similar concept or song, with many netizens often pulling out this hilarious line.

SM… I’ll pretend to be fooled so just act like nothing happened and release “BOSS” again as a new comeback…

2. It indicated a milestone for NCT

The song was so popular that it was the first music video from the NCT units to reach 100 million views! As NCT was still considered a rookie back in 2018, this song was one that really put them on the public’s radar. The styling also was a huge hit with the public.

3. It gave us this superior look from Doyoung

Many fans would agree that Doyoung’s styling in one of their live stages was just…*chef kiss*
