A cheering guide for 'Piñata' went up on NCT 127's own channel at 15:00 KST on August 12, 2026, running 3 minutes and 45 seconds. Where the counters stand at the time of writing: 67,132 views, 8,416 likes and 523 comments. Its description carries the album line, a site link, a pre-order link, a link to the track video, the group's own accounts and a tenth anniversary hashtag.

The track video for the same song came the evening before, at 18:00 KST on August 11, running 2 minutes and 43 seconds. It has 8,607,371 views, 83,317 likes and 5,505 comments. Both posts sit on the same channel, a day apart.

Line the three dates up and the sequence is plain: the track video on August 11, the chant guide on August 12, and 'BLINGY' — described on the post as The 7th Album — dated 6PM KST on August 24. The chant is public while the record it belongs to is still ahead.

For anyone who wants the chant down before the album lands, that gap is the window: twelve days between the guide and the date. And because the guide comes from the group's own channel, the wording and the timing are the group's rather than something reconstructed by ear.
