Created by <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22SM+Entertainment%22">SM Entertainment</a>, K-pop group <a href="spotify:artist:3IniCa6EijyZ3bsY0eTG3C">NCT</a> ("Neo Culture Technology") boasts an unlimited number of members who populate multiple sub-units based in various international locales like Tokyo, Beijing, Shanghai, and Bangkok. The first spinoff, NCT U, was announced in April 2016. Upon formation, NCT U released a pair of singles -- "The 7th Sense" and "Without You" -- following in 2018 with "Timeless," "Boss," and "Baby Don't Stop." Those latter three tracks landed on NCT 2018 Empathy, which rejoined NCT U with other sub-units <a href="spotify:artist:7f4ignuCJhLXfZ9giKT7rH">NCT 127</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:1gBUSTR3TyDdTVFIaQnc02">NCT Dream</a> for their full crew debut. The set was a global hit, rising into the Top Ten in South Korea and the U.S. The following year, with attention focused on newly formed China-based unit <a href="spotify:artist:1qBsABYUrxg9afpMtyoFKz">WayV</a>, NCT U issued the single "Coming Home" that December. They kicked things back into gear with another full-band release, NCT 2020 Resonance, Pt. 1, a chart-topping smash that spawned the hit single "Make a Wish (Birthday Song)." The group expanded that effort a month later with NCT 2020 Resonance, Pt. 2, which tacked on an additional eight tracks to the original including the NCT U-centric "Misfit" and "Volcano." <a href="spotify:artist:3IniCa6EijyZ3bsY0eTG3C">NCT</a>'s 2021 project Universe featured mostly NCT U tracks such as "New Axis," "Universe (Let's Play Ball)," and "Birthday Party." On 2023's full-crew album Golden Age, the unit responsible for "The 7th Sense" delivered the track "Baggy Jeans." ~ Neil Z. Yeung
