And not just that, for you guys that maybe confuse about concept in NCT, i wanna share to you guys  about NCT, the concept, and the new members.

NCT 2018

If you are SM Stan, you might know about SM Rookies. SM Rookies is a brand for introducing trainees from SM. SM rookies is a start formation in NCT, trainees in SM Rookies gradually will be debute in NCT. As you know, NCT or short for Neo Culture Technology is a boyband in SM Entertaiment that have unlimited members like Lee Soo Man (CEO from SM Entertaiment) said before. Until 2018, NCT have 18 members from any age (Born in 1995-2002). NCT is devided into several sub-units NCT U, NCT 127, and NCT Dream. 

For the first units, they have NCT U that debuted on April 2017 with their single digital 'The 7th Sense' and 'Without You'. U after NCT means 'United/Unions'. The concept of NCT U is combine members from another units, whether it's a member of NCT 127 or NCT Dream, everyone in NCT members can fill formation on NCT U. So, it can be said that NCT U doesn't have fixed members. The song, single, or album that release not just in one language. In first year NCT U released two different songs and this two songs have two different languages, korean and mandarin. But maybe in the future, NCT U will released songs more than two languages. 

In 2018, NCT U  introducing 3 new members Lucas, Kun, Jungwoo and comeback with 'Boss' and 'Baby Don't Stop'. In 'Boss' they perform with 9 members (Doyoung, Lucas, Jungwoo, Taeyong, Winwin, Jaehyun, and Mark) and in 'Baby dont stop' with two members Taeyong and Ten. And then Kun participating in 'Without You' Mandarin version. 

Second unit is NCT 127. NCT 127 base in Seoul, South Korea. Their debuted on July 2016 with mini album 'NCT #127'. Addition number 127 in behind NCT it means this unit base in Seoul. 127 is the longitude coordinate territory of Seoul. Marketing promotion target  in NCT 127 only in South Korea. So, their songs that released just in Korean. Not in mandarin or any other foreign language. Unit 127 have fixed members. If there's any change, it just a little bit of change and not change all formation in NCT 127. NCT 127 have 9 members with previously added 2 new members that not be in debuted formation.

In 2016, they debute in M! Countdown with singles 'Fire Truck' and 'Once Again' and also they released their first Music Video 'Fire Truck' with 7 members Yuta, Taeil, Haechan, Jaehyun, Taeyong, Mark, and Winwin. In 2017, they announce will comeback with second mini album 'Limitless' and added 2 new members, Johnny and Doyoung.
