NCT (Korean: 엔시티) is a K-pop boy group formed by SM Entertainment. Their name stands for the Hallyu localization project Neo Culture Technology, a term coined by their producer and SM founder Lee Soo-man to describe the group's concept of having an unlimited number of members divided into multiple sub-units based in various cities worldwide. Since the group's initial introduction by their native label's founder in January 2016, the group is now consisted of 21 members as of January 2019, aging from their late teens to mid-twenties and participating in a total of four different sub-units.

The group introduced their first unit, the rotational-NCT U on April 9, 2016 with the double digital single "The 7th Sense" and "Without You." It was followed by the Seoul-based unit NCT 127 on July 7, 2016 with their eponymous extended play, and later the then-teenage only unit NCT Dream on August 24, 2016 with the digital single "Chewing Gum." The group then introduced their first localized sub-unit WayV, a seven-member unit based in China on January 17, 2019 with the single album The Vision.

Background

In January 2016, SM Entertainment founder Lee Soo-man delivered a presentation at the SM Coex Artium, titled "SMTOWN: New Culture Technology 2016."[2] The label's plan was to debut a new boy group to "fall in line" with their culture contents strategy, containing "unlimited" number of members within the group whom would go on to debut in subsequent units. Furthermore, the group would have "sub-unit teams" and "collaborations" among these units.[3][4] The name of the group was revealed to be NCT, an acronym from the presentation title. The group as a whole is SM Entertainment's first idol group in almost two years since the debut of fellow labelmate Red Velvet in August 2014, and subsequently the first boy group since the debut of the South Korean–Chinese boy band Exo in 2012.
