explaining NCT's unit system once and for all

PS: I EDITED AND PROGRAMMED THIS VIDEO ALMOST A MONTH AGO. ON 10TH MAY 2023 LUCAS WAS REMOVED FROM NCT (MAKING WAYV A FIXED UNIT OF 6 MEMBERS), SO SORRY FOR ANY CONFUSION.

Let’s dive into NCT’s unit system because too many people are still confused and it’s time to clear this thing out! I personally don’t think it’s *THAT* complicated, but maybe for new fans or people who are just casual listeners this can be a little tricky.

Hello ! Just wanted to say that I edited this video like a month ago, so I wanted to correct a few things.
- On 10th May 2023 Lucas was removed from NCT (and WAYV), making WAYV a fixed unit consisting of 6 members. I hope this won't confuse anyone. He was on hiatus for 2 years, so the only thing that changed is that he was removed from the group. Now NCT are 22 and WAYV are 6.
- On 24th May 2023 Sungchan and Shotaro were removed from NCT. Today, NCT are 20 members in total (NCT 127 = 9. NCT DREAM = 7. WAYV = 6)
(PS: Haechan and Mark are both in NCT 127, and NCT DREAM)

Also I don’t want ppl to cry ab members' departures under my video... I already deleted a few comments and I will delete any other comment ab Lucas, Shotaro and Sungchan. This video is 100% informative so I don’t want it to become a video about gossip/speculations/crying ab them etc.

when i was a baby kpop fan and i was wondering why the hell there were so many groups named nct

[SHGogo-dfjr]

Considering the sheer amount of members, and all the moving around, it makes sense that people are confused, including me. This is like my 1st look at NCT, I think this vid makes sense. Its just *such* a weird concept. I'm glad they went back on the whole 'graduation' thing for Dream, seems like those never work.

[bren]

There is so much moving around and adding. I want to get into NCT but man is this hard 😭

[sumedhakavuri]

I'm here like 1 year later and NCT has 26 members helpp😭😭

[sxytnkxu]

U realize that u have nothing to do when u watch a video guide bout NCT's sistem when u already know almost everything about them 😂😂

[gxmmiwrms]

My brain hurts after all of that. I think ill just listen to the music and stick to only being able to recognize two memebers (mark + ten). Im content this way, and it saves me from getting white hairs :)

[Abcdefg_]

All I knew before was nct 127 do music with dark concepts and nct dream do music with cute concepts nct u I didn't know the fuck it is!!! But thanks to this video now I know considerably about nct and how it works!! Thanks for the video!!!

[unusedflint]

okay I think I understand…. It’s just so different than every other group ever. I always thought nct 127, dream, wayv were different group completely, so when I found out that they’re “subunits” I was shocked with confusion. Especially with mark being in 127 and dream…. that’s confusing too. Thanks for the simple video haha, you made it make more sense.

[tehelea]

i listen to some of their music but i don't know a lot about them so this guide was actually super helpful, ty!!

[-Toto.]

You explained so well thank you very much + you didn't make any English mistakes ❤

[ryannalynn]

thank u for this video, i just wanted to know sungchan lore but nct lore was so intimidating to me but this was helpful !!

[Zb-]

This was so well made. I am still a bit confused. But everything is definitely more clear. Thanks❤

[qvnxnna]

I think I'm gonna have to watch this a few times 😭😭

[armyev]

Im just interested in Nct dream more than the other sub-units

[SHGogo-dfjr]

Sooo, why is WayV the only unit who doesn't have NCT in their name? I've heard of theme before this but never realized they where part of NCT

[SHGogo-dfjr]

Huh yeah, now finishing the vid its such a weird concept. Even weirder now that they might be stopping at just Korea, China & Japan. I can understand why tho, the og idea was super ambitious & seeing how long it took just to get 3 countries I can't imagine the label would be interested in continuing for who knows how long. I liked the vid, NCT as a group is just so... Well weird.

[StvryRei]

So it means that Haechan and Mark are in two groups that is NCT 127 and NCT dream? Right?

[noviafourmianti]

What is the name of video in thw thumbnile??

[stardust]

we actually know kun from nct u debut song without you chinese version
