This is what I have for all NCT, a detailed explanation. NCT (which stands for Neo Culture Technology) is a guy group under SM Entertainment which debuted in 2016. The thought behind the creation of the group is that they can be a group with potentially an unlimited number of members or units. There are currently 4 subunits of NCT and 20 members. The first unit to debut in April 2016 was NCT U with their song “7th Sense”. NCT U is the subunit which has a rotational roster, where the number of members and the members themselves depend on what the song calls for. For example, ‘7th Sense’ had 6 members on the song: Taeyong, Taeil, Jaehyun, Mark, Ten, and Doyoung. But other NCT U tracks include ‘Baby Don’t Stop’ which only has Taeyong and Ten and ‘Boss’ which had Taeyong, Mark, Jaehyun, Doyoung, WinWin, Jungwoo and Lucas. Any NCT member can be tapped for an NCT U song. As such, every NCT member is automatically a member of the subunit. With me so far? You don’t have to remember names, I’m just getting you familiar with them. In July 2016, NCT 127 debuted as the first fixed roster unit. There were 7 members at the time: Taeyong (the leader of 127 but also a big fixture in all NCT and SM along with ➡️), Mark, Jaehyun, Haechan, Yuta, Taeil and WinWin. Their debut song was ‘Firetruck’. In August 2016, NCT Dream debuted with the song ‘Chewing Gum’. They had the younger members, with an average age of 15. The members are Mark (yes from 127), Haechan (yes from 127), Jaemin, Jisung, Chenle, Jeno, and Renjun. In 2018 NCT released their first project for the entire group including all members, titled NCT 2018 Empathy. They also debuted 3 new members: Jungwoo, Lucas and Kun. The album included new NCT U tracks, NCT Dream tracks and NCT 127 tracks. The roster was 18 members. You can see them all together in the track NCT 2018: Black on Black. In later 2018 three new members were debuted in NCT: Xiaojun, Hendery, and Yangyang. Also in the last few months of the year, Jungwoo was added to NCT 127 and WinWin was removed to prepare for the debuting of a new subunit. The last day of 2018, WayV was announced as the newest fixed roster subunit, who would be operating from China. The members are Kun (the leader), WinWin, Ten (who was in the very first song but since was on hold. Ten is one of the top dancers in kpop. He was kept busy), Xiaojun, Hendery, Yangyang, and Lucas. They debuted in the middle of January 2019 with a Chinese version of 127’s ‘Regular’ and their song ‘Take Off’. October 2019, 4 members of NCT also became members of the supergroup SuperM which consists of members of NCT, EXO, and Taemin. They debuted in the US. And consist of Taemin, Taeyong, Mark, Lucas, Ten, Kai, and Baekhyun. In 2020, NCT once again came together to release a full group album, entitled ‘NCT 2020: Resonance’. The two-part album includes songs from all units and many NCT U songs, most notably ‘Make A Wish’, ‘90’s Love’ ‘From Home’ and ‘Work It’. Two new members were added to the roster, bringing the total to 23: Shotaro and Sungchan. They have not yet been placed in a subunit. NCT released a third full group album called NCT 2021 Universe: The 3rd Group Album. The song featuring all of NCT was “Beautiful”, however Lucas and WinWin did not take place in the song, video or the album. In 2022, we were told there were 3 more potential NCT members for a future unit that would have Sungchan and Shotaro but this isn’t definite which is why some people say 25. In May 2023, Lucas formally left WayV and NCT. Two weeks later, Shotaro and Sungchan left NCT to be in a undisclosed future boy group. So there are now 20 members. So to sum up the current situation: NCT - 4 subunits NCT U: all 20 members NCT 127: 9 members (Taeyong (leader), Mark, Johnny, Taeil, Jaehyun, Doyoung, Yuta, Jungwoo, and Haechan) NCT Dream: 7 members but 2 are also in 127. (Jaemin, Mark, Haechan, Jeno, Chenle, Renjun, and Jisung) WayV: 6 members (Kun, WinWin, Ten, Hendery, Xiaojun, and Yangyang) MVs recommend: NCT U - 7th Sense (nct debut song), Baby Don’t Stop (it’s just Ten and Taeyong, the leader of 127), Boss, From Home (also the live stage from 2020 MAMA), Make A Wish, 90s Love and Work It, Universe (Let’s Play Ball) NCT127 - Firetruck (their debut), Cherry Bomb, Simon Says, Regular, Highway to Heaven, Coming Home, Superhuman, Kick It, Punch, Gimme Gimme, Sticker, Favorite, 2 Baddies, Ay-Yo NCT Dream - Chewing Gum (debut), My First and Last, Ridin, Hot Sauce, Hello Future, Glitch Mode, Beatbox, Broken Melodies, ISTJ WayV - Take Off (their debut mv that wasn’t a chinese version of an NCT song), Moonwalk, Turn Back Time, Lovetalk, Bad Alive, Action Figure Full NCT mvs- Black on Black (2018), Resonance (2020), Beautiful (end of 2021)

Oh. My. Goodness. I had to wait until I could read through this properly. It's actually SO helpful! I feel like I've learned/seen bits and pieces of NCT over the years since I started listening to kpop but I've never seen the full breakdown like this! It's actually a lot easier to follow than I thought it would be!! I appreciate you so much. Thanks for always supporting and helping my k-pop journey so much! And welcome to Patreon!!! 💚💚💚💚

I’m glad I could help. I have write-ups I’ve done on a few groups I know, and I’m always willing to share any information I have on songs, groups, comebacks, or kpop in general, so feel free to ask. I try to make things as simple as possible. I watch a lot of reactors and see what they end up being confused on. There is actually some more to add to this, as things are happening currently, so I’ll add another comment for that below.

After becoming a 20 member group in 2023, NCT once again underwent changes. First, it was announced that they were preparing their final subunit and then NCT would be done expanding. This subunit currently has two confirmed members: Sion and Yushi, and 4 more members will be added through the currently running show NCT LASTART (available to watch on Viki Rakuten). Former members Sungchan and Shotaro went on to debut in the new boy group RIIZE. Also, NCT is preparing to release another full group album, NCT 2023 Golden Age, at the end of August.
