[Eun Ga Eun (Artist) Kim Min Jung (Comedian)] Hello maniacs!
Last time, we found out about the votes from the fans
for WANNA ONE.
We're talking about something different today
and will talk about NCT.
To summarize NCT's features,
they are very persistent and expanding.
When idols are formed,
[Idols are usually in a fixed group] they perform in that group.
But NCT is different!
Yeah, unless a member leaves the group
or says that he wants to go home.
However, NCT is always adding new members
and their scale is increasing.
They are an idol group that has a unique concept.
It's similar to the Passion Girls in Japan.
You know Buddhism?
They were based on the 108 passions,
with 108 members.
- There are 108 members? - There are!
[They were organized in October 18, 2005] But they were done after 2 months.
Why?
[The group dispatched on December 31] There were too many people,
so each person couldn't appeal to the fans.
They also fought about their placements. Imagine how hard it is.
I'm a bit worried about NCT's concept
- since the numbers are still increasing. - Yeah.
Should we see what kind of
- idols they are? - Let's take a look!

NCT is a boy band in SM Entertainment.
The group NCT
was based on the acronym of Neo Culture Technology in 2016.
On January 27, 2016, The CEO of SM Entertainment, Lee Soo-man,
made a presentation of NCT
and didn't make any limits on the number of people
in this idol group.
NCT U was a 6 member boy group
that was released on the internet broadcast.
In the same year on April 15th,
they debuted on KBS2's "Music Bank."
After that, NCT 127
and NCT DREAM came to be.
There are 2 important keywords that describe NCT.
The first one is limitless.
There are no fixed members for NCT
and they are open to bringing in new members.
SM Entertainment planned this flowing concept
that gave no fixed number of members.
Neo Culture Technology is NCT's team name
along with SM Entertainment's new cultural technique.
In this NCT system
the size of the group may vary from
how many people the producer wants to include.
The second one is infinite expansion.
There were a lot of
flaws due to a lot of members in NCT, but that was supplemented too.
Each position was offered
and the work was shared.
NCT has a system where new teams are debuted from each country.
NCT 127
put "127" in front of their name and performed
mainly in Seoul.
The NCT teams debuted in different places,
but they sing the same songs in different languages.
Besides the place and language,
there are teams that are distinguished from others.
For example, NCT U.
NCT U means Unit and United.
It's a team assembled with the area unit.
They go by the name NCT U.
It's similar to EXO's system, right?
It's a limitless concept,
but each group is separated, along with their performances,
so the fandoms aren't split up either.
Each group is able to show off their charm.
Since they all perform with one name, NCT,
the fandom is extremely huge.
NCT U debuted first.
Like we said before, U means Unit and United.
They debuted in China on April 9, 2016
and then at "Music Bank" on April 15, 2016.
NCT U was the first NCT that started it all.
The 2nd sub group was NCT 127.
They debuted with the song "Fire Truck" on July 7, 2016.
NCT 127's "127" represents the longitude in Seoul.
It symbolizes their performances in Korea, China, and Japan.
They focus their performances mainly in Seoul
and their goal was to make K-Pop known worldwide.
The 3rd sub group is NCT DREAM!
NCT DREAM debuted on August 25, 2016 with "Chewing Gum."
NCT DREAM's specialty is that it's a team full of teens.
Their goal was to heal the adults,
while giving hope and dreams to the teens.
The groups concept is "teens"
and adults cannot join NCT DREAM.
When the members get older, they will graduate from being NCT DREAM
and come back with new appearances.
We started about the limitless NCT idol groups!
I feel this way while looking at the monitor,
but the NCT members are always expanding.
I think the fans would look after them while looking forward to other members being added.
That's right.
Since the fans are looking forward to it,
the idols would try to improve their skills
which may vary.
The advantage of this system is that the lifespan on their team.
Since there are new members that can be added,
they could be seen as a big topic.
The concept of "After School" allows them to graduate too.
- Yeah, they can graduate and then new members will come in. - Yeah.
But NCT has new members added all the time,
so they could continue to be a hot topic.
- If you think about it, it's a great thing! - Yeah.
Their lifespan is increasing.
I think I'm going to became a
fan of NCT.
NCT, make sure to avoid her.
NCT, I love you.
