A short and simple guide to NCT (2 Viewers)

[maruberry]

NCT's system really isn't that complicated! It takes a bit of thinking and when you get it, you know how it works.

NCT - this means ALL of the members. If somebody just says NCT, they mean the whole group, all the 21 members!

NCT U - This isn't really a proper subunit. This is for example for when they want to make a song with 3 specific members, but don't want to make them into a permanent subunit, they just want to release 1 song with them. Then the song goes under NCT U. Any NCT member can be a member of NCT U. It all depends on who is at the time promoting under that unit!

NCT 127 - 10 members, 9 who are currently promoting because Winwin is busy in China. The Korean subunit based in Seoul.

NCT Dream - The unit for the kids aka the minors of NCT! As they grow older they will graduate from this unit. Members will leave this unit at the end of the year they turn 19. If new Dream-aged members get added to NCT, they will also join Dream. We are hoping for new members for Dream this year or if not this then definetly next year!

WayV - The chinese unit of NCT. They are under a different name and company (Label V) because they are promoting in China and being associated with a Korean company would bring problems they don't need. 7 members, 2 more current Dream members might join after graduation, but this is just speculation.


THIS IS IT! To sum it up:

NCT - a huge ass group
NCT U - different members for every song
NCT 127 - The korean unit, essentially a normal kpop group
NCT Dream - The babies of the group!
WayV - Essentially a normal Cpop group !

It's really not complicated AT ALL, but people just say it is because they are too lazy to look it up.

Exactly. If you think about for literally a minute, you will get it.

New fans would love this

"NCT- a huge ass group"

And there it is.

And there it is.

What is though... I don't really get what you mean with this?

 

[amourpinks]

are they gonna add more members...

 

[maruberry]

are they gonna add more members...

Yes they are!

Next year 4 of the current NCT Dream members will graduate so we assume we will get new Dreamies either this year or next year!
SM is also planning a Japanese NCT unit and that one needs members
An SEA NCT unit is also planned, that one also needs members
There have been talks about an American sub-unit and so on!

But you don't have to stan all of them. I started out as a Dream only stan! NCTzens generally don't even mind solo stans as long as you aren't hating on the other members.

omg... tbh i wonder how far sm is gonna go with this unlimited member concept.

We will have to wait and see! Even if the group does grow to be like 100 members, it will very obviously take YEARS!

NCT had 14 members in 2016 and now in 2019 has 21, so that isn't that many members added actually! When they start making more units the amount will probably go up a bit, but I think they won't be making new units that often.

omg I couldn't even imagine the people who try to stan if they actually get to 100 members
just thinking about learning the names is giving me a headache lol, but I respect the people who do cause that is just...

Thank you I guess, bcs I intend to know and love all the members NCT will ever have!

But like I said, we NCTzens realise that so many members is obviously too much for most people... So as long as you aren't toxic stan as little or as many members you want!

that's actually nice. each group gets attention from its own stans and I think that's great.

Exactly. Nobody forces Dream stans who are into the cute concept to also like 127 with the more mature one!

We NCTzens are pretty reasonable in most cases! We also defend the underage members until our last breath! The moment they turn 18 though... they are fair game!

It's all anyone needs to know about nct--it's a big group... As a stan for a few years now I've come to the conclusion that's it's not worth the trouble of trying to explain the system. Or maybe it's better to say that I gave up trying.

You are trying to explain to the wrong people. Also don't be so negative! NCT are getting new fans constantly so it isn't like nobody is putting in the effort to get to know them!
