Right before ringing in the New Year, SM Entertainment has announced the NCT China unit, called WayV. (Honestly, Vision sounded better, but whatever.) SM is working with Label V, a Chinese label, which will help manage the group, though SM will still be in charge of producing for the group. For political reasons I understand why it’s not called “NCT” WayV, since China and South Korea are still pretty hostile due to THAAD. I just hope these seven kids will be okay and their management will take good care of them. WayV has the potential to hit it big in China, but it has to be carefully done. Ten, Lucas, Winwin, Kun, Yang Yang, Xiaojun, and Hendery—jia you! 加油!

    I don’t pretend to know how NCT works AT ALL, what with all the crossover unit members, and I most definitely have reservations about SM’s management, but I really hope they’re taken care of as much as possible and get to shine O_o.

      Yeah, this new NCT group needs to be treated well because they’re going into some dangerous (politically) territory now. Despite being a big fan of NCT, I also still don’t get the concept of how each NCT unit is for a specific “city” (like wth that’s stupid) but I enjoy having lots of members and lots and lots of music from them. I’m also looking forward to seeing the Chinese members finally getting the attention they deserve. Being Chinese-American, I always have a soft spot for the Chinese members.
