K-pop boy band NCT will drop its second album “NCT 2020: RESONANCE Pt. 1” next month after two new members joined the team.
SM Entertainment said Thursday that the album will be released at 6 p.m. on Oct. 12. It will have 13 tracks, including the lead singles "Make A Wish" and "From Home."
A total of 23 members ― from the sub-groups NCT 127, NCT Dream, WayV, Shotaro and Sungchan ― have participated in the project. This is the first studio album by the entire group in two years, following “NCT 2018 Empathy.”
To promote the album and introduce the new members, NCT held the live-streaming event “WISH 2020” Wednesday on V Live. It garnered 12.5 million viewers and 2.3 billion “Likes.”
NCT, created by SM's head and founder Lee Soo-man, debuted in 2016 to expand with sub-unit groups under the NCT umbrella in major cities around the world.
