◇Four seasons of hope filled with music
NCT WISH has been with fans around the world throughout the four seasons with special music and messages. In February, they showed off the Cupid concept with their debut song 'WISH', delivering an exciting first greeting with bright and hopeful lyrics, cheerful melody, and refreshing vocals and performance. In July, they became wish delivery men with their second single 'Songbird', showing powerful wings flapping in harmony with the blue season with their addictive guitar riffs and cool vocals.
In September, through the title song 'Steady' of their first mini-album, they gave warm emotions with their pure hearts and lyrical melody hoping that the miraculous encounter called their debut will last forever. In November, with the title song 'Wishful Winter' of their first full-length Japanese album, they are warming the end of the year with a cozy and emotional winter song that promises to grant wishes together. In this way, NCT WISH has been delivering music with positive messages centered on the concept of wishes and dreams for a year. They have established themselves as 'icons of wish' by adding their own colors with refreshing vocals and energetic performances.
◇ Rapid growth rate... Highest sales among debut artists this year + sold-out tours
NCT WISH has shown their presence with brilliant growth since their debut year. With pre-orders of 370,000 copies of their debut single 'WISH', 630,000 copies of their second single 'Songbird', and 800,000 copies of their first mini-album 'Steady', they are breaking their own records with each album they release, while also continuously breaking the highest records for artists debuting this year. What's more, with 'Steady' selling over 790,000 copies in the first week after release (based on Hanteo Chart), they also achieved the highest initial sales record among debut artists this year, continuing their dazzling performance.
Another surefire way to prove NCT WISH's popularity is their concerts. NCT WISH held a 13-time fan meeting tour in five regions of Korea from May to June, and despite it being only three months since their debut, all seats were sold out in the midst of fierce competition. As part of the Asia tour from November to December, the first Japan tour also sold out all 12 shows in 6 regions in one go, proving their solid ticket power.
Furthermore, NCT WISH is planning a tour of 8 regions in Asia, including Seoul, Macau, Manila, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taipei, Jakarta, and Bangkok, in 2025, so it is expected that NCT WISH will be able to confirm their expanded global popularity.
◇ Rookie awards all-kill! Proving themselves worthy of the name 'Best Rookie of 2024'
NCT WISH swept various award ceremonies immediately after their debut, solidifying their title as 'Best Rookie of 2024'. Starting with winning the 'Best New Artist' award at the 'Asia Star Entertainer Awards 2024' just 50 days after their debut, they are enjoying the joy of sweeping rookie awards at various major award ceremonies such as the 'Super Rookie Award' at the '2024 K-World Dream Awards', the 'Next Leader' at the '2024 The Fact Music Awards', and the 'IS Rising Star' at the '2024 Korea Grand Music Awards'.
NCT WISH's activities can also be seen at a glance through their year-end festival stages. Starting with the '2024 Music Bank Global Festival in JAPAN' broadcast today (19th), they will perform at the '2024 SBS Gayo Daejeon' on the 25th, 'AAA 2024' on the 27th, '2024 MBC Gayo Daejejeon' on the 31st, and Japan's TBS's 'CDTV Live! Live! New Year's Special! 2024→2025', they will appear in various global festivals such as the '39th Golden Disc Awards' on January 5th and will end 2024 in a splendid way.
In 2024, NCT WISH showed their moves worthy of the 'best rookie' in all fields including music. Based on the meaningful achievements they have accumulated throughout the year, attention is focused on their activities and growth in 2025 as they fly even higher.
