When asked about their experience taking on the tough dance challenge, Yunhyeok very confidently said, "Nothing special". He also enthusiastically added that if given a chance, they would love to try more Bollywood dances in the future.
He further explained the differences between K-pop and Bollywood music. According to the idol, "Bollywood's rhythm is very different; similar yet different."

NTX also revealed how they manage to fulfil their personal creative desires while being a part of the group. Yunhyeok gave a very candid reply saying, "We have lots of arguments. But these days we have started respecting each other". Hyeongjin also revealed their priority as a team and said, "Since we are a team, sometimes, even if we have our personal interests and different preferences, we have to let it go and think of the group's direction first."
NTX on music style and Bollywood concept
NTX is very experimental when it comes to its music video concept and music. Yunhyeok explained, "We as a group focus a lot on Hip Hop. These days there is a lot of mixing in Hip Hop. I think there are various synergies that arise when hip-hop is mixed with different genres and vibes. If there is a chance, we can also try mixing popular Indian music with our hip-hop style (like they also tried the Tauba Tauba challenge). We can try a lot with diversifying the genre."
NTX on essentials of performance and secret to success
NTX were invited as the esteemed judges at the All India K-pop Contest 2024 Semi-finals. The members shared what they would be focusing on in terms of the contestants' performance. Yunhyeok shared, "First of all, it is such an honor. I am going to focus on mood, vibe and personality". Main dancer Jaemin added, "Of course, there is choreography, and also expressions, and the song's vibe and if the contestant has found the killing point of the choreography well."
Vocalist Eunho advised the contestants, "The contestants must be very nervous. But don't feel that way. Just give your 100 percent, and the outcome will be good."
While discussing their secret to success, Changhun shared that fans' love for K-pop keeps him going and said, "Thank you for loving us and K-pop so much".
