NCT, SM Entertainment’s 26-member boy group (yes, you read that number right) has been making experimental K-pop music for the masses and making it look effortless since the group’s debut in 2016.
The group implements a rotational lineup and generally promotes in sub-units like NCT U, NCT 127, and NCT Dream. This allows the members to experiment with different sounds and genres and probably is easier than getting all 26 members on stage together.
