NCT Nation in 2023
2023 started with NCT having 23 members, but it has now whittled down to 20 following a series of changes. After a two-year hiatus, Lucas officially left NCT and WayV in May, with SM Entertainment announcing that Lucas plans to pursue a solo career.
Also in May, Sungchan and Shotaro left NCT. The two, who made their debut as members of NCT in October 2020, were initially expected to join NCT’s next NCT unit. However, they were transferred to SM Entertainment’s rookie boy group RIIZE, which made their debut in September.
Meanwhile, SM Entertainment also announced plans of debuting NCT’s final unit. Initially a septet, NCT New Team was formed through the reality show NCT Universe: LASTART. In October, they released the pre-debut single “Hands Up.” As of writing, there’s no details yet about the group’s official debut.
