For those of you who are NCTzens, you are definitely familiar with NCT LAB. This project made by SM Entertainment finally released its 10th single with 4 combined members from WayV and NCT Dream, namely Kun, Xiaojun, Renjun and Chenle. With beautiful harmonization from the four members of the China line , “Marine Turtle” was finally released on December 6, 2023. The visual video clip which is set on the beach is able to cure NCTzens’ longing for this long-awaited project. Here, let’s discuss interesting facts about this single Marine Turtle, come on!
The Deep Meaning of “Finding Your Way Home”
Supported by the background of the video clip on the beach, this song feels fresh, warm and calming. The meaning of “finding your way home” was conveyed well by the four members. From the video clip, we can see that this song tells the story of teenagers who have gone through and are facing difficult times. It is likened to a newly hatched baby turtle, which will instinctively try as hard as possible to return to the sea, where the sea is its true “home”. Likewise, after going through difficult times they finally met the sea which seemed to embrace them.
Exactly as described in the lyrics,
“I found a way, I found a way yeah
Gidaryeossdeon sungan I see my sea”
Interesting Lyrics, Aesthetic Video Concept
The seaside backdrop fits this song perfectly. Apart from giving a fresh and warm impression, the beach background makes their teaser photo look very aesthetic. The concept he put forward was really fresh and cool.

Some NCTzens even got creative by editing their photos to be used as cellphone lockscreen wallpapers or even desktop wallpapers for their gadgets.
Released In Two Languages
Even though the four members are Chinese , SM Entertainment released this song in two languages, namely Mandarin and Korean, so that it can still be enjoyed. Even on the Spotify channel, SM released an instrumental version of this song. There’s no need to doubt the medium-pop genre with the sound of synth and 808 bass accompanied by electric guitar and the harmony of a vocal team like them because it will definitely spoil our ears.
