NCT - The Beginner's Guide To NCT (2024) - UK K-Pop Fans Reaction
🎥 Along for the Ride
Join Kerry and Simon as they embark on an enlightening journey through the expansive universe of NCT, guided by "The Beginner's Guide to NCT (2024)" by TheBaddestCzennie. This detailed guide serves as a comprehensive introduction to all things NCT, from the basics of their unique concept to the individual units that make up this global phenomenon: NCT U, NCT 127, NCT DREAM, WayV, DJJ, and the evolving projects of NCT 2018 (Empathy), NCT 2020 (Resonance), and NCT 2021 (Universe).
Dive deep with us into the structure, achievements, and the groundbreaking approach to the "Limitless Expansion" philosophy that characterises NCT's journey. This reaction will not only cover the milestones and music of each unit but also explore the implications of the 2023 adjustments, including the cancellation of limitless expansion, the introduction of former members, the formation of Japan NEW TEAM, and the announcement of NCT NATION. The guide also offers additional insights, helpful contents for new fans, and a look into the vibrant NCT fandom.

@@yennhiteresa he didn't just study there, his family legit moved there to live. But yeah, it's the country he lived in the shortest amount of time in his life, I guess, because about 6 years later he moved to South Korea to be trainee under SM. He doesn't even have German passport, I believe, but probably has residence permit of sorts? Given that the family actually moved there to live. Maybe the rest of his family acquired citizenship by now, idk.
This is a great introductory guide, but as you said it doesn't go into the members themselves which is why individual guides of the units is needed as well. These are the best and most up to date rn: - Guide to NCT 127 (Get to know them better) UPDATED 2020 by SsNo00nPeY - a guide to NCT Dream (2021) by oopsiedaisy - (un)HELPFUL guide to wayv | 2021 by Lao Gan Ma - GUIDE TO NCT NEW TEAM (NCT WISH) by wish4wishzens

There's also now NCT Wish, which is essentially what NCT Tokyo became. Shotaro and Sungchan left and became a part of RIIZE before being placed in an NCT group, but I believe the general expectation was that we thought they would end up in Tokyo/Wish.
7:18 those are Sungchan and Shotaro, who debuted during the 2020 full group project and weren't assigned to any unit so they were floating around in limbo till last year, doing some NCT U songs every once in a while. Then 3 new SM rookies were introduced: Eunseok, Seunghan and Shohei and fans were excited for them all to be part of the Japanese sub unit, that had been teased beforehand. Suddenly SM announces the debut of new a boygroup and after departing from NCT Sungchan and Shotaro are confirmed to be part of the lineup, along with Rookies Seunghan and Eunseok. Shohei was revealed to leave the lineup for health reasons and so he didn't debut. This new boy group is Riize, it has the 2 former NCT members, the 2 almost members/rookies and 3 new trainees (Wonbin, Sohee and Anton). Regarding the anticipated debut of the Japanese subunit, SM aired a survival show with only company trainees to decide who would conform "NCT New Team" (the working name for the group pre-debut), the show is called NCT Lastart and I believe it was paid content, I can't really remember. 7 trainees made it to the finale, only 6 ended up debuting and they are now NCT WISH!! All of this to conclude in the fact that since this guide was made a lot has happened and we are now at the final number of members: 26.
I'm not sure if you know or not but the Japanese unit has debuted. They are now known as NCT Wish and consist of 6 completely new members: Shion, Riku, Yushi, Jaehee, Ryo and Sakuya.

For variety content its kind of impossible to be concise but for future reference here's a list of some content by unit: All NCT/Cross-Unit - NCT Life (11 seasons) - The NCT Show - NCT World 2.0 - It's Awkward But Its Okay - 24 Hour Relay Cam 2021 - JCC (Johnny's Communication Center - mainly Johnny and 127 members but does feature other unit members as well) NCT 127 - Stick Together/ Fill It Up - Brooklyn Boys/Hit the States - Lost Boys - NCIT House - 2 Baddies Pub NCT Dream - 7llin Series (3 Seasons) - Boys Mental Training Camp - Our Dreamy day in the US - Rooftop Fight - Finding 7-Ujeong WayV - WayV Dream Plan - WayVision (2 seasons) - Summer Talk - WayV-ariety - Ten and Yangyang's ETC NCT DJJ - Our Sweet Scented Vacance NCT Wish - NCT Universe Lastart (the show that formed them) - We Go!

I really recommend watching the behind the scenes for recording the songs, it’s a good way to watch how they made the song, raw, also their albums, their albums are amazing
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THISSSS
One thing about NCT is you will never run out of things to watch lmao! I've been a fan since 2018 and still haven't seen half of the videos they post
Nct wish is a new sub unit so now they are 26 members
omg you guys should react to the 'nct english speaking line vs eric nam' videos, there are two of them and they're both really funny!
YAAYY NCT!!! i've been loving your nct journey so far~
Ack, I so desperately want to edit this guide but it does a good basic job. To answer a question you posed earlier which I haven't seen comments yet address, yes, Mark was extremely busy from a very young age. In 2016 he debuted 3 times, April in NCT U, July in 127 and August in Dream. He turned 17 that August. Haechan is a year younger so he debuted in 127 in July and Dream in August having just turned 16. And the both of them have been booked solid practically ever since, phew. (Now that the older Korean members of 127 are enlisting, 127's activities will slow down and Mark and Haechan will hopefully sleep , sorry, I feel like their mother and I just want to send them to bed.) There is an insane level of content to enjoy, don't feel you have to rush. It will all be there when you get to it and it's a very fun rabbit hole to fall down...

As always LOVE your reaction to NCT, few things i wanna tell you : 1- As the guide said just take each unit at a time once u feel like u know the members and its sound go to the next one no need to rush take your time.... 2- An other reason for NCT DJJ .... SM groups have this tradition of having a 3 vocalist members sub unit like : SUJU KRY (kyuhyun rewook yesung) SNSD TTS (Taeyoen Tiffany Sooyoung) EXO CBX (chen baekhyun Xiumin) NCT DJJ (doyong jaehyun jungwoo) 3- i recommend: NCT 127 "cherry bomb" "simon says" "sit down" "lemonade" And compilation
THANK YOU FOR NCT DAY 😍💚
Yayyyyyy perfect for my lunch break!
Thank you for reacting to this!
Finally my boys guide 💚💚 thank you so much, will watch and comeback to comment again
After all these years. It is still fun to watch people genuinely curious about nct. ❤
im guessing they made dojaejung a fixed unit because 127 will start enlisting (like literally in 12 days) so djj will be more active and consistent (until doyoung has to go too) unlike 127 that might have rare comebacks from now on
Thankyou for want to get to know NCT and supporting them ❤ I recommend you to watch and react to Behind The Scene Recordings from NCT Dream - Broken Melodies and I also recom u to watch & react "NCT World 2020" 😊 success in creating reaction video content !
DJJ got their unit cos unlike Nct U...there is no change in members...just DJJ...they will in future ...i m hoping this year...hv a comeback with only doyoung jaehyun n jungwoo.

The venn diagram broke my brain at first 🤣
NCT Dream is such a cute unit, alot of fans are around the same age as Dream so in a way we all grew up with Dream so its a special unit in my opinion. Mark was a minor at the time and ofc all the other members, Jisung being only 14. It's crazy how NCT Wish are all younger than Jisung expect for the oldest being Jisung's age. Its funny that WayV make such sensual songs bc the youngest is the same age as most Dream members but then again he debuted as an adult and Dream does now make songs like 119

The only thing I don't like about this Guide is that NCT WISH having 2 pre-debut songs, the pre-debut tour, their performance at NCT NATION and all the LASTART material were not included in the video. The person who did this couldn't even put a photo of the boys calling them even "the Japanese unit" even though they themselves were already called NCT WISH when the guide was uploaded.

I screamed when I saw the title I literally just opened KZread guys 😅💚
This was fun. It was a lot to digest, and a lot of the AI pronounciations I found irritating, but on the whole it was a good introduction. One of the great things about these guys is that they really don’t look alike, so once you get the names down you’ll be able to match them to the faces surprisingly quickly. The lyric videos can be very helpful in that regard. I definitely recommend the dance practices. Here you saw 127’s “Ay Yo” (Taeyong’s spiky hairdo is from the mv, one of my faves), Dream’s “Beat Box,” and WayV’s “Moonwalk.” There are also a LOT of b-side track/archive videos that are great; many people love 127’s “Lemonade,” but my top picks are U’s “Misfit” and 127’s “Earthquake.” ❤️

Once you learn all the members names trust me the concept won’t be confusing at all! I was in the same boat about 2 months ago! 💚
Whoop whoop 💚💚💚
NCTinas! Let's goooo!
The diagram is actually a bit wrong. The WayV triplets (Xiaojun, Hendery and Yangyang) are part of NCT, idk why they put them outside the square.
Actually Yangyang is Taiwanese, not German. He does speak German but not extremely fluent, nowadays he seems to hesitate speaking it (from NCT Nation), probably forgotten a bit. Plus, I think he uses English mostly when he was in Germany.

And YangYang is not German, he's from Taiwan and SM treats all of their employees like crap not just foreign members hence why they're losing Korean members left and right like Taemin, Onew, Baekhyun, D.O., Chen, Xiumin plus others.

SM most definitely has a history of treating their foreign idols even worse, it's now unfounded at all. There's a reason the Chinese members of Super Junior and EXO aren't there anymore. Just because SM treats everyone terribly, doesn't mean its not true that there's a definite prejudice present. And it's not just SM, this is something that's been documented throughout the Korean industry and society.

And this guide isn't perfect, it never said it was trying to be. "Candy" became an NCT Dream song the minute they released it as a remake, not just a cover. And it was pretty clear to me that the guide just had some issues with the editing and separating some sections. "Candy" was included in the "mature concept" section as were the lyric videos and bsides in the "variety content" section which isn't the best place for that either. Not really the end of the world lol

@sweetyongf Didn't say it wasn't true but I hate it when fans decide what level of crap is worse when they have lost a lot of Korean artists and when Korean artists like Taemin, Baekhyun, and D.O decide to beat it, then things must be bad bad because from the outside they seemed to have been treated kind of alright but them leaving tells me just how bad it is. Also CBX are all koreans and sued SM so Idk how fans decide who is being treated worse but one can just take a look at how EXO have been treated since the start and can realize SM doesn't go out of their way to just mistreat foreign members when SM mistreats all of them. Look at why Tao left. Now look at how Mark and Haechan are being worked to death without any consideration for their health. I mean, yes foreign members have been treated crappy but so are korean members so how can one accuse sM of Xenophobia when EXO have been treated as badly as say WayV. Anyway, I'm not going into a back and forth with anybody about this. You have your opinions and I'll have mine. Agree to disagree
