Now known as NCT Wish, the boyband is set to make a grand debut in South Korea and Japan in February. They have released many visually appealing teaser images in lieu of their concept 'WISH for Our WISH,' building up more and more anticipation.
For those unversed, NCT Wish will be the fifth and final sub-group of renowned K-pop band NCT. The name 'NCT Wish' is a fusion of Neo Culture Technology with the word 'Wish' from the theme concept 'WISH for Our WISH' which depicts their desire to support everyone's dreams and make them come true together using music and love.
The group will feature six members – Sion, Riku, Yushi, Jaehee, Ryo and Sakuya – who were confirmed to be a part via the reality show 'NCT Universe: Lastart' back in July 2023.

Managed by SM Entertainment and Avex Trax, NCT Wish has been active under the name NCT NEW TEAM since September, and have even gone on performing as part of a pre-debut tour across Japan. The unit had also released their pre-debut single 'Hands Up' back in October 2023.
According to numerous reports, "The band is determined to become a ‘Wish Icon’, sending strong hope and energy to all the music fans worldwide."
Their agency has confirmed that NCT Wish is set to drop its debut single 'Wish' on February 28 in both Korean and Japanese, and will first perform the song during SM Entertainment’s in-house concert 'SMTown Live 2024 SMCU Palace @Tokyo' on February 21 and 22.
