The final subunit of NCT, called NCT WISH, is living up to the legacy of their seniors and their success.
For those who might not know, NCT WISH is the 6th and last subunit of NCT, and is made up of members Sion, Riku, Yushi, JaeHee, Ryo, and Sakuya. Members Sion and JaeHee are Korean, while the other members are Japanese. The group debuted on February 21, 2024. Their chart-topping debut single, ‘Wish’ was produced by the one and only BoA, and captivated the hearts of K-Pop fans all over the world.
After impressing us with both their performance and visuals, the group very recently announced their nationwide fan meeting tour, “NCT WISH: SCHOOL of WISH”. Despite being only a few months old, NCT WISH has completely sold out all the tickets to their planned shows, so much so that they have added another show to meet the high demand of fans.
For fans who cannot attend the Seoul performances in person, the 7 PM shows on May 25 and 26 will be broadcast live online via the global platforms Beyond LIVE and Weverse, allowing fans around the world to participate in the fan meeting and connect with their idols.
Such a fan meeting tour is not only important from the standpoint of sales but also for building a stronger connection with fans all over the world. NCT WISH has already stolen the hearts of fans with their refreshing, youthful, and innocent energy. So, this fan meeting will only mesmerize fans even more.
It is no surprise that NCT WISH is proving their impact with ticketing power so early into their careers. The group has an immense social media reach but also a strong non-social media influence, which speaks volumes of the group’s popularity.
Over the last 30 days alone, mentions of NCT WISH and the use of the hashtag #NCTWISH have gone up a whopping +4484%, with reach spiking +8703%, interactions have gone up +43364%, and positive sentiment associated with the group increased by +5750%. In fact, when we conducted a sentiment analysis of netizens’ response to and reception of NCT WISH, we found an overwhelmingly positive response from netizens worldwide in the last 30 days.
Additionally, the estimated social media reach of NCT WISH, according to our research, is nearly 50 million at the time of writing, with a non-social media reach of over 6 million across the internet. The brand power of NCT WISH is also steadily rising.
This is fantastic performance for a rookie K-Pop group, and goes to show that their potential is being recognized, which will lead to unprecedented growth. In the very near future, NCT WISH may very well be selling out their world tour tickets in minutes.
Meanwhile, NCT WISH is gearing up to release their second Japanese single ‘Songbird’ on June 26, while also preparing to actively promote in Korea with a single and mini-album scheduled for release in the third quarter of the year.
NCT WISH is booked and busy and we love to see it.
