NCT ("Neo Culture Technology") boast an unlimited number of members that populate multiple "sub-units" based in various international locales like Tokyo, Beijing, Shanghai, and Bangkok. The original group was composed of members of SM Rookies. The first spinoff, NCT U, was announced in April 2016. They released a pair of singles before a second incarnation,
NCT 127, formed in July. Later that year,
NCT Dream debuted with "Chewing Gum" in both Korean and Mandarin versions. In 2018, the group unveiled the NCT 2018 project, releasing NCT 2018 EMPATHY. The set showcased the various units of the conglomerate, including NCT U,
NCT Dream, and
NCT 127. From there, the various sub-units continued to issue music and, in 2019, another group was created for their Chinese fans. WayV debuted that January and made a splash around the world. By 2020,
NCT announced the NCT 2020 project, which combined sub-unit members once again.
NCT 2020 Resonance, Pt. 1 landed that October. In addition to featuring all four units, the effort also marked the debuts for a pair of new members. ~ Neil Z. Yeung
