"NCT WISH, We Could Become Famous'," (Jaehwi)

Boy group NCT WISH (NCT 위시) has only fame left to achieve.

On the afternoon of the 19th, NCT WISH (Seungho, Yuushi, Riku, Sakuya, Ryo, Jaehwi) held a press conference to commemorate the release of their first full album 'Ode to Love' at KSPO DOME (formerly the Gymnastics Arena) in Bangi-dong, Songpa-gu, Seoul.

The new album 'Ode to Love', scheduled for release tomorrow (20th), showcases the clearer musical identity of NCT WISH. While maintaining the group's unique sensibility of 'refreshing&neo' cultivated since their debut, it adds the group's growth and diverse variations.

The title track of the same name is a song that expresses sincerity in its lyrics about conveying kindness in a cold world. 'Let's Sing Together' adds the ambition to make the world warmer through this proposal, offering a moving emotional experience to listeners.

NCT WISH first unveiled 'Ode to Love' during the 'NCT WISH First Concert Tour '"Into the Wish: Our Wish" Encore in Seoul (NCT WISH 1st CONCERT TOUR 'INTO THE WISH : Our WISH' ENCORE IN SEOUL)', which began on the 17th. Seungho stated, "I was curious about S.Coups' (the fandom name) reaction since we prepared so hard. I was extremely nervous during the first reveal, but after the stage ended, S.Coups clapped and cheered, making me feel proud".

Jaehwi recalled the moment he first heard 'Ode to Love'. He said, "Right away', I thought of the BGM from "Gag Concert." Many people might know it, and since it has an addictive and familiar sound, I thought it would be easy for them to follow along. The song was so good. I thought, 'NCT WISH could become famous'," and laughed.

Through this performance, NCT WISH fulfilled their dream of entering KSPO DOME about two years after their debut. Jaehwi said, "When I first heard we would perform at KSPO DOME, I couldn't believe it. First, I want to thank S.Coups who truly loves us. I want to show our growth through this tour more than during our first concert". Sakuya added, "I am so happy to be able to perform in such a large venue. We started in October last year and have performed nearly 30 times so far, so we have done well until now. Today, I will do my best to create a fun time".

Seungho continued, "We are performing at KSPO DOME for three days until today, and it is amazing that we could reach this venue faster than we thought. We had a fun performance for two days straight. We plan to have a fun performance today as well. I want to thank S.Coups for helping us be able to perform like this". Yuushi pledged, "It is so good to be able to meet S.Coups. I will fight hard for today's stage too".

Riku said, "It is a happiness to be able to show our charm to many people in such a large venue. I am looking forward to it. I will do my best today". Ryo added, "It has been a little over two years since our debut, and it is amazing that we can hold a solo concert in such a large venue. We can do this thanks to S.Coups. We are so grateful", expressing gratitude to the fans.

NCT WISH's wish list for this year is to meet more fans. Yuushi said, "Meeting more S.Coups and showing more of our good sides". Seungho stated, "It is natural that we work hard, but the most grateful feeling comes from S.Coups continuing to love us and from the number of people loving us increasing. Our wish list is that since the chorus of this title track is so addictive, many people will hum along, and we hope our group becomes more famous".

Beyond KSPO DOME, the venue they wish to enter next is the Japan Dome Tour. Sakuya revealed, "Although we have only been active for two years, we performed in arenas for the first time in Japan this time, but not in domes. Our next goal is to perform in domes in Japan".

When asked what growth he experienced through the numerous stages of the world tour that has continued since last year, Riku answered, "Last year, I was very nervous and had no time to communicate with S.Coups while on stage, but now I can make eye contact with S.Coups while performing. Especially, 'when performing "Cheat Code"', it is so much fun to do it while looking at S.Coups' faces, so it is my favorite stage".

Seungho then said, "It seems our teamwork with the members has become stronger than before, so we seem to have become more enjoyable during stages and schedules".
