NCT Universe
Jan. 6, 2023

A (mostly) daily round-up of everything happening in the NCT Universe.
What's included: tour news, appearances, cfs, performances, news.
What's not included: IG updates unless there's something highly pertinent, merch drops unless something highly pertinent like a new CF.​

Cross-Unit (including Rookies):

• I moved cross-unit to the top to reflect the biggest news today: Haechan is on temporary medical hiatus, including out of the Neo City tour dates in the Americas and all Dream and 127 content. He was reporting heart palpitations and stuffiness and was getting checked by doctors. I'm hoping he's also out of the repack promos to continue to heal. Please rest and get well, our full sun.
  

• NEW CONTENT: New ep of SungSho (with Eng subs) - jump here for @MinjuChu 's thread for it

NCT Dream:

• NEW CONTENT: Candy Challenge behind the scenes

• NEW CONTENT: Hot & Cold Dance Practice with Jeno - jump here for @bunnyviolet 's thread for it
• NEW CF: Penshoppe

NCT 127:

• NCT 127 is off to America - safe travels, guys, and bundle up cuz Chicago is cold. First show is the 9th so they should have a little time to do some promo work while they're in the states.

• #1 Czennie Dem Jointz has confirmed he is the writer/producer on "Ay-Yo", as well as another one of the new songs "Skyscraper." We should expect some fire MarkYong bars since Dem Jointz always allows the two to write bars on his songs.
• You know it's a cb when the hair colors change: Jaehyun debuted a new silver or ash blonde hair color on his IG(valentines are still arguing about what the color is).
• NEW CONTENT: New series tied into Ay-Yo cb, looks to be in the similar vein around recent NCT series, which is less silly competition and more heartfelt and chilling. (with Eng subs) - you can jump to the thread here with the link
• So far there are two versions and a digipack for Ay-Yo, plus another special Target version in the U.S.
• Johnny's return to Chicago made news in his hometown (Chicago has a population of 2.7M and the Sun-Times is a large, nationally respected newspaper)
• https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/1/6/23542838/nct-127-k-pop-johnny-suh-chicago-show-united-center
• You can find all the latest updates on Ay-Yo in its comeback thread.
• NEW PREVIEW: Doyoung in Master in the House - as usual with this show, no Eng subs

WayV:

• WayV is doing the full music show circuit and will be on MuCore, MuBank and Inkigayo.
  
  
• NEW CONTENT: WayV on MuBank - jump here for @Jewel 's thread

Charts/Awards/Milestones:
Since charts are a separate category at KS, I'll keep those separate unless there's a major milestone to call out.

• The Ay-Yo versions debuted at #1, #2 and #2 on the ktown4u charts.
• Candy is stable at #7 on the Melon charts, Graduation is down a spot to #84.
• NCT Dream won the 4th and 5th week of December for the Melon popularity award.
• NCT Dream and NCT 127 are #5 and #10 in most digital points for 2022, but ya know no one streams NCT.
  
• ROAD TO 100M 🏃‍♂️ Try Again 95.8M, Baby Don't Stop 95.1M, Hot Sauce 92.2m
  • If you're interested the next closest song is NCT 127's Regular at 80.2M, The 7th Sense at 76.6M and Don't Need Your Love at 72.2

Neo's Got My Fact:
DYK this not the first time 127 has toured without Haechan? He had to miss portions of the first NCT 127 tour due to an injury.

Penshoppe - so handsome

Get well soon Haechan Now maybe SM will finally stop scheduling Dream activities and 127 ones near each other when Dream is only active once or twice a year?????

fr fr. Each sub-unit has one comeback a year, plus a repack. That's many many months to create distance and downtime. NCT Dream comes back every spring and 127 every fall in the last two years. (Altho Dream had 3 cbs this year...I get they're making up for lost time but maybe pace it a bit better for these guys?)

Yuta also has new hair! It's black again. 😍

I wonder what Taeyong is going to do for his since he’s said he doesn’t like black.
