Neo Culture Technology, also known as NCT, is a South Korean boy band created by SM Entertainment and debuted in January 2016. As of April 2021, the group consists of 23 individuals, ages ranging from late teens to mid-twenties, who are split into four distinct sub-units: NCT U, NCT 127, NCT Dream, and WayV. NCT is the best-selling act under SM Entertainment, having sold more than 24 million albums in total, according to South Korean rankings.
NCT Dream
The younger members of NCT Dream, who ranged in age from 14 to 17 at the time of their debut, are Mark, Renjun, Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, Chenle, and Jisung. Mark received his diploma in 2018. There used to be a graduation system. However, as of a recent announcement by SM, Dream will be a fixed unit with a revolving idea similar to NCT U. As a result, Mark may occasionally join them for their comeback, while other Dream members may choose not to.
NCT 127
Neo Culture Technology (NCT) is the acronym for SM Entertainment, the largest record label in South Korea. It is not just three words thrown together at random; rather, it is an ambitious idea. NCT 127, the Seoul-based unit, is part of an initiative that attempts to localize K-pop across the globe using locale-specific groups. Seoul is located at longitude (127).
NCT U
The initial component of NCT is called NCT U. On April 9 and 10, 2016, they released their first two singles. Neo Culture Technology United is the meaning behind their name. They don’t follow a set lineup because it varies depending on the theme. Doyoung, Jungwoo, Xiaojun, Mark, Jeno, Haechan, Yang Yang, Shotaro, Johnny, Yuta, etc. are all members of NCT U.
