history

The first members were cast by SM Entertainment in 2013. In April 2016, the first subgroup with NCT U made their debut with the single The 7th Sense (Eng. The seventh sense). The song rose to number 111 on the South Korean singles chart and sold almost 50,000 copies. In July 2016, the second subgroup was introduced with NCT 127 , which released their first Extended Play (EP) NCT # 127 in the same month . The EP reached the top of the South Korean album charts. A month later SM Entertainment presented the third subgroup of the band with NCT Dream. As the first single of the first EP We Young (2017), the single Chewing Gum was released in August 2016 , which, like previously released singles, entered the lower ranks of the charts. In March 2018, the group's first studio album, NCT 2018 Empathy , was released. It debuted at number two on the South Korean album charts, sold more than 300,000 copies and went platinum. NCT 127 made its first entry into the US charts with Regular-Irregular . The EP debuted at # 86 and sold 8,000 times in the week of release. With WayV, SM announced in August 2018, the first non-Korean-speaking subgroup. The group, performing in Mandarin and English , released their first EPs The Vision , Take Off and Take Over the Moon in 2019.
