The six members of NCT WISH are undoubtedly unique, each bringing their own flair and personality to the group, making them poised for immense popularity.
Even before their official debut, NCT WISH started making waves under the name “NCT New Team.” They conducted a pre-debut tour, performing in nine cities across Japan, and released a non-album single titled “Hands Up” in 2023ββββ. This pre-debut exposure not only helped in building a fanbase but also provided the members with valuable stage experience.
