Boy group NCT WISH is making a powerful comeback in the domestic music scene with the release of their first full album after debut.
According to the music industry on the 17th, the 6-member group NCT WISH, consisting of Zion, Yushi, Riku, Sakuya, Ryo, and Jaehee, has confirmed the release of their first full album on April 20. This marks their return to domestic activities after about 7 months, heightening the anticipation of fans who have been waiting for their stage for a long time.
Entering their second year since debut, NCT WISH is proving their top-tier popularity across Korea and Japan. Last year, they achieved initial sales of 1.08 million copies with their second mini-album 'Pop Pop', becoming their first million seller, and their third mini-album 'Color' surpassed 1.395 million copies in initial sales, setting a new personal best record.
Their overwhelming ticket power is also noteworthy. The first tour encore concert, held at the KSPO DOME (former gymnastics arena) in Seoul for three days starting April 17, sold out all seats as soon as ticket sales began. Additionally, their tour, which took place in 9 cities in Japan, also achieved sellouts for all performances, proving the strength of their solid global fandom.
Differentiating themselves from the intense concepts previously presented by NCT, NCT WISH has established a unique path with their refreshing and harmless charm. Through this full album, they are expected to further solidify their team's identity. As representatives of a growing boy group, the music industry's attention is focused on the new musical transformation they will showcase in their first full album.
Meanwhile, NCT WISH, under SM Entertainment, is the last sub-group of NCT, which debuted in February 2024, consisting of 2 Korean members and 4 Japanese members, making them a multinational idol group.
