  • Does anyone know how Doyoung, Jaehyun and Taeyong’s enlistments affects their contract renewals? I’ve seen people saying that their contracts are on hiatus when they’re enlisted and because of that their rookie contracts won’t actually be up in April. Are there examples of this happening? I’ve seen people reference exo but never in a detailed way. I’m just very curious to learn more about it if anyone has insight!

  • Congrats to Private Rabbit and Private Hard Candy for graduating training! 😃😃

    parent

    Their graduation pictures are such a study in contrast.

    Doyoung looking like he's been through a life-changing experience and Jungwoo looking like he's been to summer camp.

  • Another kpop group is coming to my country and my first tought is what's gonna be their reaction when they realize 127 stole free beverages that were supposed to be "theirs" /j

    parent

    Huh?

    parent root

    ok this is so niche, but when 127 came here 3 years ago they mentioned later on an ig live that they got offered free drinks and that other people (customer service locals i guess) confused them with another group (kpop is not that big in here) this lead up to fanwars and the fandom of the other group called them thiefs for "stealing ***'s drinks" and some other non sense that ofc nctzens didn't took seriosly

    Okay, that's funny.

    Neo got my soda!

  • What’s happening with the nomin unit exactly? I know they have something coming but is it a mini album? A single? I’ve seen fan comments that seem to think it’s a mini…but the only comments I’ve seen from Jeno and/or Jaemin have sounded more like it’s a single? (I should note I avoid most fancall clips because they usually make me cringe so I’m probably missing out on some info….)

    parent

    they talked about having a concert/tour so its probably a mini or full

  • Does anyone know how involved boa was in nct wish? Like does boa leaving sm gonna affect wish in any way? The quality of wish music, content, and merch has been so good and I just hope nothing changes.

    parent

    she produced the Japanese album that is releasing later today. I guess we will have to wait and see how much stuff changes in their next comeback

    parent root

    shes very involved. she has talked about in interviews. if i remember correctly, shes in charge of their music and oversees the production of their albums. she confirms the tracks, the mixes and checks the choreographies. she edits the choreography too. idk if shes mentioned having a hand in anything else but there might be more im forgetting.

    we don’t know if shes still wish’s producer or not since it could be two different contracts but if she has left that position as well then that could potentially have an impact on nct wish’s music.

    i am hopeful that she’ll continue to work for wish since it seems that she left sm amicably and said in her interview w hyoyeon from 5 months ago that she intends to work on every album of theirs in the future, but who knows. circumstances can change.

  • anyone else seeing more weird nct takes on the main subreddits that have you puzzled. it's getting strange, the frequency of these takes and the downplaying of nct's commercial impact and other metrics is just odd.

    parent

    I keep seeing it especially for NCT Wish, seems like some people don't really quite grasp the concept of a group being popular in Asia

  • Is it just me, or are the members of WayV and the sub as a whole the silliest/craziest/funniest out of all the other subs?
