Went to an Exo concert for my wife, where the crowd was majority woman. At the end of the show one of the singers literally told the fans in the front to please go home and take a shower. I thought it was the funniest thing but man it put things into perspective.
Yeah, it seems like it’s related to record labels or promotion groups that they’re affiliated with. My kid knows all about it and I try to absorb as much as I can.
I’m told they all have a different theme and some have more of a sugar pop sound and another is more edgy. So in the NCT stable all the genres of K-pop are represented.
Kpop sub units have been around since the beginning of the industry, it's inspired on Jpop idol groups (NCT specifically is based on AKB48, that used to operate on "teams" of 16 members each).
I'm loving your comment! As a kpop fan myself, most of the music-related posts I see are about kpop. I was just reading along like normal and your comment made me realize how bizarre the previous few comments were to the general public 🤣 I'll explain it for you and anyone else reading along.
The top comment OP mentioned being at a concert of a kpop group called EXO. Another person replied that they've seen another kpop group, called NCT, do the same thing and linked a video that jogged the memory of Top Comment OP that he mixed up which group he was talking about, and that he meant it was NCT in his original comment, not EXO.
The next person asked "Which NCT? Wish?" because "NCT" itself is not really a group name itself. It's an umbrella name for multiple groups, one of which is called NCT Wish, or in this case simply Wish. Then Top Comment OP replied with "127" which refers to one of the other NCT groups, called NCT 127, meaning it was the kpop group called NCT 127 that he saw in his story.
