NCT sounds like N "City" on Purpose....apparently it was SM's PLAN. The group is based on Cities!!!

The name is growing on me, so I finally updated by sig lol~

 

TBH, as far as kpop group names go, this is pretty innocuous (LBR) and this explanation gives it a cool purpose

This is the translation from the articles though

[MidnightEXO]

Like....... N a CT.... Near you ...... Get it? Since the group is going to be in major cities.... so its like N a CT near you...  IN A CITY  NEAR YOU Okay Bye.

I thought the N was like 'N number of' (Infinite) which corresponds to them having an infinite number of members

 

but what you said is cool too

Ummmmm...... can't take a joke much?

[Witch Nose]

End City!

[mendoan]

not suprise at all

its SM exo 12 and exodus(exo10) concepts are amazing like so many theories behind it but it remains mystery

[Sun☼Shine]

Yes... it was. Hence the laughing face at the end of the sentence.

And did I get it right? ONE team to promote in both Korea and Japan?

 

About the name, I expected nothing less of SM - they know what they're doing.

Yep~

 

The Tokyo and Seoul units are combined, and most likely every SR16B member (except maybe Kun and WinWin and the 2 youngest mini rookies) will be a part of that, rumored to debut Q1 this year

[twicecrushed]

Nugu city???

 

 

Lol.. Jk.

So is it... *counting* 11 members? With possible WinWin and Kun additions?

1. Taeil

2. Hansol

3. Johnny

4. Taeyong

5. Yuta

6. Doyoung

7. Ten

8. Jaehyun

9. Mark

10. Jeno

11. Donghyuck

 

I wouldn't be surprised if SM holds off Kun & WinWin for the upcoming Beijing_NCT coming later this year, although both of them were at presentation yesterday, and WinWin's teaser is next up.... so who knows??

 

I would bank on Jaemin & Jisung joining the Seoul / Tokyo NCT when they get old enough as well~

[Lux.]

I have a hunch that WinWin and Kun will debut with the other 11, SM has many other Chinese trainess that could debut in Bejing unit e.g. the ones that will inevitably get eliminated from that survival show in China.

Anyway, I'm kinda relieved that they won't split the original SMRookies. Anticipating as hell tbh, spring couldn't come any sooner 

[Sone-H]

I knew it 

[mendoan]

other companies will follow SM's step later if this project will be a successful experiment.people said SM copied japanese, but others followed SM's step like the pc and debuting in japan thingy
