Boy group NCT WISH is sparking a refreshing syndrome.

NCT WISH will release their first full album 'Ode to Love' at 6 p.m. on the 20th via various online music platforms.

The title track of the same name, 'Ode to Love', is a dance pop song based on New UK Garage that reinterprets the iconic humming motif of Cranberries' 'Ode To My Family' through sampling. The lyrics convey sincerity and ambition to spread warmth in a cold world, offering moving emotions to listeners.

Additionally, NCT WISH successfully concluded their 'NCT WISH 1st CONCERT TOUR 'INTO THE WISH : Our WISH' ENCORE IN SEOUL' at Seoul Olympic Park's KSPO DOME from the 17th to the 19th. All sessions sold out completely, including seats with restricted views, drawing 33,000 attendees over three days and reaffirming NCT WISH's formidable ticket power.

This encore performance kicked off with a bright and uplifting opening act expressing the final chapter of the fantasy tale 'Our WISH'. As their first performance at KSPO DOME since debut, they showcased expanded production and sets tailored to the venue's scale, including large LED screens, green star-shaped lifts, and temple-themed sets, demonstrating NCT WISH's growth and leap forward.

Notably, NCT WISH made their first-ever stage appearance of the first full album's title track 'Ode to Love' at this concert. With the debut of Yuushi adorned with butterfly wings, they delivered a refreshing and crisp energy stage that drew a wave of applause. They also unveiled for the first time the track 'Sticky', which features a hip performance with a bossa nova style, further embellishing the pre-return celebration.

Furthermore, they thrilled the audience with upgraded production and setlists, including 'Baby Blue' set against a backdrop of 100 butterfly kinetic lights, 'Design' with an added outro dance break, 'We Go!' where they moved closer to fans while riding a mobile vehicle, 'Hello Mellow' unveiled for the first time in Korea, and 'WICHU', where they hung in the air riding a paper boat shown in the VCR.

Finally, NCT WISH, who received the love and support of fans ahead of their comeback, stated, "We are grateful to Sizens (the fandom's nickname) once again for allowing us to perform at KSPO DOME so quickly. Although Sizens said their wish is NCT WISH, Sizens are our wish. We will work hard to create good music for Sizens." They also added, "We are even more excited about our comeback because you liked this title track. We will show you many beautiful sides, so we hope you will stay with us for a long time," conveying their heartfelt sentiments.

Additionally, Jaehee, during a press conference held before the concert, laughed while recalling the moment he first heard 'Ode to Love': "It immediately reminded me of the 'Gag Concert' BGM. Since many people might know it and the sound is addictive and familiar, I thought it would be easy for them to follow along. The song was so good. I thought, 'NCT WISH could become famous.'"
