A guide to NCT [2020] : The Units (Part 1) | NSD REACTION 

"WE FEEL LIKE CLOWNS NOW" welcome to the fandom🤡

The thing is Mark didnt start in NCT Dream and then joined NCT 127, He was in all 3 units from the beginning, so he's kinda busy😂😂and when NCT 2018 happend WayV didnt debut yet

I never thought NCT's concept was difficult? the amount of members sounds intimidating but it's literally just a huge boy group with different subunits that's it

the dreams graduation system was such a good idea on paper, but considering the dreamies are teenagers and debuted together at a young age, it was like taking brothers away from each other and wasnt the best

OMG YESS NCTZENS we win for today.

To sum it up: As of 2021, there are currently 23 members in NCT 📍NCT U - rotational unit -anyone from NCT can join this unit -members change often because they picked members from different different units who fits the concept of the song 📍NCT 127 -fixed unit -active promoting in US & Japan 📍NCT Dream -youngest team -fixed unit 📍WayV -NCT's first unit outside Korea -promoting in China -does Chinese & Korean songs Also the 2 new members who debuted last year is in NCT U right now, SM will going to debut a new unit this year (with 5 new members) that is going ti promote in Japan (and that's will be the 2 new members fixed unit soon).

Yall nct is now a fixed unit with 7 members including mark...they are gonna comeback this may with mark...and in case you didnt know nct 127 and nct dream have 2 common members: mark and haechan...this iconic duo ...mark and haechan are called markhyuck together...these 2 are just together all the time and best friends

They are now 23 members in NCT and winwin is in wayv. Also, I’ve been into nct for like a month now and tbh it’s not that hard to learn there names if you watch their vlogs on their official channels at least for me.

There are bunch of producers & songwriters in NCT, there's Taeyong, Mark, Johnny, Kun, Yangyang

OMG FINALLY NCT!!! i feel like im dreaming

“we feel like clowns now” HAHAHAHAHAHA WELCOME TO NCITY 😂

Never clicked faster than now 😂

please watch "nct moments that are peak gen z behavior"

NCT Dream only release mini album for the five years and upcoming 10th May is their FIRST FULL ALBUM AND THEY ALREADY A MILLION SELLER PREORDER!!!!

OMG NCT YES GUYS YOU'RE GONNA LOVE THEM

This is gonna be a long ass ride but one thing I can promise is that this is gonna be fun.

I wish you both good luck on your NCT journey. sometimes i still can't believe they are real with how chaotic they are

literally watch ANY of cherryverses videos they are so funny

fINALLY I FEEL LIKE CRYING

This is so exciting! Honestly, it's really not hard to learn NCT I promise, it's often exaggerated because of how big they are, but if you take your time and seriously dive into them, you'll have them down in no time! The good thing about NCT and their different units is how varied their music is. You'll be sure to find something you like from them and even if you don't like a song immediately, NCT songs tend to grow on you lol To answer some questions, yes this guide was before the 2 new members were added so it is 23 members now. Also, the 2018 project was before WayV debuted, but some of the WayV members were already in NCT then so they were apart of it. In NCT, members can double up between units!

OMG FINALLY NCT?!! you guys will love them for sure. I assure you that. It'll take some time but i believe that day will come!

I would suggest doing the individual guides on the NCT Units by Softjun, I love this guide don’t get me wrong! it’s just easier together into them by unit, and you can get specifics for each group instead of general knowledge on the whole group! *edit: I am aware that some of softjun guides are a little outdated, I (as well as some of my friends) just found it easier to learn about each individual unit, than all together! like I said this guide is one I really enjoyed (I have seen both parts). I was just suggesting that sometimes individual guides are easier to digest! :D I really meant no harm! 💕🥰🙃

Alright, i'm gonna answer your questions as best as i can💚🌱 13:20 - depends on SM on which unit they decide. But, since the graduation system is thrown away NCT DREAM will function like NCT U but within dream members. 14:00 Fun Fact, the adding members & graduation system is first implemented by their senior, " SUPER JUNIOR " back in 2005. They are a team excelled to be all rounder, name it, they have it. Now, after a period of time, you will graduate & only sm knows what will happen to the them. SM didn't expect the support of the fans so they also trash the graduation system. Debuting from 12+1+2 =15 members. The fans didn't like system back then so they stop adding members 15:04 no, the 2018 empathy era, since jaemin was back, their music matured too 17:32 1st time ever Sm debut almost full chinese member with Wayv. Unlike SJ-M & EXO-M with few chinese members 18:40 FUN FACT, all EMPATHY album tracks have mv's 😃 18:40 not yet, WayV debut on Jan. 17 2019 21:58 it's called ISAC it's like olympic where all idols play on diff. Categories such as bowling, archery, rhytmic gymnastics, etc. 22:34 yes, PUBG with all other idols to compete, esports team under ISAC. There are other mobile game categories too 😃 25:06 *NCiTy=NCTzens* idk if that's make it simple 😂 25:46 Fun Fact, most fandom color of sm had pearl in it 😂😂 I hope i answer if not all at least some of your questions, a long time SM STAN here btw, had fun watching you guys so i did since i saw no one answer it yet😅. Looking forward for the next vid🌱

To sum it up: NCT127: talented, cool, iconic NCTDream: talented, chaotic, savage but still cute WayV: talented, loud, crackheads on another level

FINALLY THE WAIT IS HERE AHHHHHHHH

i find the confusion of how nct works both amusing and incredibly frustrating lmao. bc i honestly understood it pretty much instantly as well as remembered all names and who was in what unit within about 2 days of getting to know them.

YEZZ YALL FINALLY REACTING TO NCT😭

Everytime they add a new member/s they released a full length album featuring all members and songs from different units. NCT 2018 (18 members at that time) - Black on Black NCT 2020 (23 members) - Resonance

i feel like some people make nct sound so complicated and it intimidates others and prevents them from getting into the group. its really not hard at all to understand imo and i learned them pretty fast without trying too hard bc i liked them so i just naturally watched them. i feel like the people who say "it took me a year" werent that interested in them for the whole year lol

guys dont get too overwhelmed, tbh its not as hard as ppl make it seem, you’ll be fine with just watching random compilations haha

welcome to the chaos that is ncity

FINALLY NCT YAAAAAAY I'M SOOOK HAPPY

wayv hadn't debuted yet when nct2018 happened, but several of the members from wayv were in nct2018 before the unit was announced. but all the members (23) were together in nct2020 last year

Well hello, fine gentlemen. I see you’ve finally decided to react to my babies. It’s gonna be a long ass ride, but it’s gonna be good. 1. Don’t let their number of members intimidate you. I almost didn’t check them out at first because they seem “too much” but wow if it isn’t the best decision of my entire life. 2. One thing you have to know about SM is that they’re the pioneer in the industry. They always try new things and concepts and get laughed at by the kpop stans and watch the rest of the industry trying to copy them. Fun fact, the positions system that the kpop industry use (main/lead/sub vocal/dancer/rapper visual/center) was created by SM then followed by the rest of the kpop industry. 3. their sound is incredibly unique. I find that their producers just love to experiment and go as crazy as they could and I LOVE that. NCT sound wasn’t exactly welcomed by the general public at first because their music was considered “too rough” and called “noise music” as an insult (long before Stray Kids debuted, I’m a Stay too, you can tell I love these noise music). If you’re an average hip-hop/r&b music fan, like I am, NCT songs is actually the sound that you will be most familiar with, but they’re different and experimental at the same time. I say this as a multi, I love a lot of kpop groups and their music. NCT sound is THAT guy, they break boundaries and bring something that kpop just didn’t have before. I love how SM sticks to their sound and not try to fit in to what the general public would love and let the public learn to appreciate them instead. 4. they get underestimated because people only see them as EXO’s little brothers and get called a “flop” for many years before people could see how great they are. These poor kids were the punching bag of toxic kpop stans for a long time (still are actually). 5. most of these kids are introverts. I stan many groups and I can’t believe how hard it is for NCT to have friends outside of their own group. I guess it has a lot to do with how they literally grew up together and how the industry treat them in general. But they’re the most hilariously socially awkward bunch of kids I’ve ever seen in the industry. They’re sooo funny, not because they try hard to be funny but they just...are. They’re shy, quiet, awkward, but chaotic at the same time. When they’re comfortable, they’re the biggest crackheads you’ll ever meet. You’ll see once you dive deeper to their moments videos. I adore these boys so much. 6. Some of my fave youtube channels that make NCT crack videos are Banana Milk, cherryverse, and haechanzone. They’re legendary. 7. These are my babies. I have loved so many groups before them, but these boys are the ones I’m most protective of. I guess it has a lot to do with how young they were when they trained/debuted especially the Dreamies. They’re a 3rd gen group and has been in the game for 5 whole years but they’re the same age as all these 4th gen artists. They lost so much of their childhood and I’m just sad anytime a random toxic kpop stan try to invalidate their success. Being from a big 3 company and living under their seniors’ shadow actually kept them under scrutiny and insulted because they don’t succeed as fast as EXO did. It took NCT many years, but I feel like 2020 was finally the year they became a contender for all these other big names. I feel like a proud older sister everytime I see them achieve something *sniffs* 8. I’m gonna repeat what everybody already said and tell you that Mark actually didn’t start in Dream then graduate into 127. Him and Haechan were in 127 since the debut, they were in Dream and 127 at the same time. Mark was actually one of the 5 members chosen for the original debut line in NCT U with the song The 7th Sense! He was everywhere lmao. Good luck on your journey! Sorry if it’s long, I’m just excited lmao. I hope you love my babies as much as we czennies love them 💚

For sure you will love so many NCT contents. As an EXO-L I admire even the editing skills of NCTzens, they're insanely good🤣 And talking about SM concepts.. hope you check out Aespa, SM new girl group. They have this Avatar concept. The group teasers are really cool too.

as an exo-l and nctzen, i say "WELCOME TO THE NEOCITY" guys :')

I am soooooo happy that you now start to learn about NCT thank you sooo much :D I hope you will like them.

For NCT 2018 "Black on Black" at the time WayV is not debuted yet but we also has 4 members of WayV (Ten, Winwin, Lucas and Kun) before they debuted with WayV in 2019 with 3 new nembers (Xiaojun, Hendery and Yangyang)

Once you understand the group, you'll like them for sure, they are very talented and unique

Oh, no. Mark is an OG member in all three units (u, 127 and dream) + superm. He's literally everywhere.

we are called NCTzens (pronounced N-Citizens) because NCT sounds like N-City and we are its citizens ^^

omg so excited for this the video hasn't even started yet. love this guide so i hope u do the other two parts also

the sports section is taken from an idol sports event called isac, where idols compete in different sports for medals, and the most medals the better. i think nct 127 won a year, but yea! heaps of content for lots of idols!

Ahhhhhhhhh it’s finally happening!! I’m so happy!!!

Finally ya'll down to this 😭✋🏻💚

It's the first time watching you diving into a new group when I already stan them. It will be fun watching you discovering new and new sides of this amazingly beautiful and talented group. Wish you all the best things. Thank you for starting reacting to NCT 💚

I'm really excited for your journey with nct! I'm sure you'll love them all. For content i really recommend cherryverse channel... Best channel really, but there are a lot more! I'm loving seeing your journey 💚(for patreon content maybe nct world 2.0 cause is the show with all of them )

I actually learned their names and faces easily because of the funny videos. Like I just got attacked by them all

I am sincerely wanna say thank you guys for uploading this. I literally waited for days for this. This made my day thank you guys so much have a great day! 🙏

yooo thank you for reacting to my video tho, it means a lot :) hope you enjoyed the other parts as well!~

EVERYDAY??? OMG IM SO EXCITED GUYS 😱😱 i'm just so happy 'cause i love your reactions and i've been waiting for nct for so loong thank you ♥

Woww NCT ... I'm exicted 🥰

I’m so extremely happy that you guys are reacting to NCT seriously. I’ve only been a casual fan in the past(saw them debut and grow, but i also only really became a real nctzen during 2020. It help me bear the extreme lack of exo contents and i’m obsessed with the dreamies now lmao.) anyways looking forward to part 2.1/2.2 of this nct guide.

ive been waiting for this all day i can’t lie

Omg I never clicked that fast 😂

It's already 23, they just recently added Sungchan and Shotaro.

every time i see a nct video posted by you guys a spark of happiness comes into my depressed and dark soul...

I'm an exol since growl era, and exo is my home but I'm glad I Stan NCT also this year 2021, I'm just new to the Fandom but I'm willing to spend my money to buy their albums for the first time in my entire life as a kpop fan.

THE DAY ARRIVED OMG, I'M SO HAPPY!! IT'S LIKE A DREAM BEING REALIZED💚 Love your channel 💚✨

Most of nctzens hate the graduation system cuz it separated the boys and they basically grew up together, you can see in their interaction how close they are and some even said that outside of Nct Dream they don’t really have friends (plus the emotional distress, bc they didn’t know what would happen after the graduation and if they would be able to perform together again). Mark was part of 127 and Dream since the beginning

for patreon, NCT 2.0 would be good bc it is the most recent variety that. includes all 23 members :) and its a really fun show

Welcome to the fandom...don't worry you know them well very soon especially if you go by units! We are Nctzens, Seazonies, and Clownzens🤡 We been clowend too much looking forward to future clownzies!❤

yk ur an official nctzen when u feel like a clown when watching their content

OMGGG FINALLY YOU ARE GETTING TO KNOW NCT NOW!!! AS A STAYZEN IM SO HAPPYYYY

Waaahhh finally nct guide 😍😍😍😍 I recomend soft jun nct guides but this is enough for now 😍😍😍😍

I'm so glad you guys are getting into NCT!! They're talented and hilarious!! Love you guys and can't wait for more NCT content!

Woow, finally it's a time for NCT. I'm waiting for long time 😂 Thank you for this reaction.

the units pretty much for the most part function as their own groups that overlaps & occasionally combine together or rotate members (nct u) ~because on charts and ranking and music show promotions/albums-they are separated as an individual groups as opposed to being looked at as actual units like other groups’ kinds

So so so happy for you guys getting into nct

I was lucky to get into the group back in 2018 so there wasn’t as many members but I’m just gonna say if you have fun with it it’s easier to learn all the members instead of being too strict on yourself

Basically with WayV up until the resonance album in 2020, SM tried to distance them from the "NCT" as much as possible to the point where the members weren't allowed to mention each other

I'm so excited, you guys are going to have so much fun with their content

Yes stan NCT please 💚💚💚 proud exo-l and nctzen here love them both ❤️

YESSSS FINALLY!! FINALLY!!! I WILL WAIT FOR NEXT!! THANK U SO MUCH FOR REACTING TO NCT!!! I REALLY ENJOYED!! ❤✨💚

Im sooo happy to see that you finally decided to watch nct !! :) Ive been watching your videos for what? 7 month now? yeah so im really happy rn, you re gonna love them 😂🥳

their discography is seriously one of my faves in kpop alongside with redvelvet's (top tier) so go check it.

i'm so happy ya'll are doing this!

FINALLY YALL ARE GETTING INTO NCT

NCT World NCT Life NCT Presents are awesome for learning about our guys 💚. Thank you for the fun reaction.

They’re FINALLY reacting to NCT. Don’t panic 😬

i used to think their concept is really complicated but now that i’m a fan, damn it is not that hard and i memorised their faces and names even before i decided to stan LMAO

yesss ive been waiting for this guide for so long😭

Finally nct❤️❤️🥺

Love your reaction ❤️❤️ can't wait for part 2!!

Yay I'm so excited for this NCT journey and I hope u post a lot on RU-vid. For Patreon will u be posting NCT stuff this month?? And I would say start with the NCT 2020 Album and MVs because that way you get a feel for them all even the new ones. And then go back to the beginning with the albums and MVS

Super excited to watch you learn more aboot the members and the units! It's probably going to take you a while to memorize all the manes but the unit concept itself is actually not that difficult! I'm sure that you'll get the hang of it quickly :) Since you haven't checked out any of their music (almost) yet, I strongly suggest to react to the MVs in release order. At least for the NCT Dream releases bc you can literally see them grow from kids to adults throughout their comebacks! For the other units any order is fine tbh:) But with NCT Dream it's a huge "shock" at first when they change their cute/young concept for the first time during NCT 2018 era with the song "Go". That's kind of the main reason why I'm reccomending watching their MVs in order :) Anyways I'm suuuuuuper excited to go on this journey with you :)

FINALLY U GUYS REACTING NCT

You have to watch NCT life on patreon. Theres loads of seasons, most of which only have 7 or 8 members at a time so i think it would help to get to know the members that get outshined in the guides and complilations. it's thier varierty show; each season has a theme and its so funny

Soccer player = Yuta, Sungchan (no kidding), honourable mention Doyoung and Chenle Basketball player = Chenle, Mark Ping pong / table tennis player = Chenle, Mark, Jeno Foot volleyball = Lucas, Jeno, Chenle (I just realize Chenle such a cutiepie but dolphin is one hell of athletic boi)

lol I was just about to go to bed when I see this. You're in for a long ass ride 😌

Yes!! An NCT guide reaction! I've been looking forward to this.

The beginning where they named the units is the order that they debuted in : NCT U debuted in April of 2016; NCT 127 debuted in July of 2016 (who originally were 7 members: Taeil, Taeyong, Yuta, Jaehyun, Mark, and Haechan, and then added Doyoung and Johnny in 2017, and then Jungwoo was added in 2018. In 2019, Winwin, an original member since 2016 stopped promoting with them, but has not officially left the group); NCT DREAM debuted in August of 2016 (who originally had a concept that members would leave when they turned 20 in korean age, 19 internationally, so Mark left at the end of 2018. But then in 2020 it was announced that Mark was rejoining, and the concept was getting replaced so that they work like NCT U where they would be rotational but only with the 7 members of Dream. And now all 7 members are participating in the NCT DREAM full album coming up) Jaemin was absent from two comebacks due to a back injury. and WayV who debuted in January of 2019

The thing with SM is, they're known to take risks and do unconventional things. They're the first to create sub-units within a group (Super Junior), first to have a foregin Kpop idol (Super Junior's Hangeng), first to have photocards with albums (SNSD), I believe the first to have dance practice videos (Shinee). But they're also known to just drop things without notice: Super Junior M hasn't been active in years, same with EXO-M (though that was mostly due to members leaving), EXO members had like a super power thing where each member had like a Super Power that they haven't really utilized in years, F(X) basically stopped promoting as a group after 2015/2016. There's really a love/hate relationship with SM, they've done a lot to the industry and have produced amazing artists, but man! they've got issues.

WAIT YOU GUYS ARE LITERALLY MY FAVORITE REACTORS AND NOW UR GETTING INTO NCT TOO OMG

i really learned all their names in a WEEK, just watching crack videos 🤠

Fun fact: In China, SM have a building for LabelV but the entire building is empty 🤡 fans even went inside like it was not lock and there were nothing inside. it's just for show

it took me just a week to remember there names 😭😭😭 it's very easy to remember there names 1. There voices are very different 2.there faces are very very different except a few (it will take a few days to remember like Taeyong and Yuta look lil but same , Jungwoo and Kun, Xiaojun ans Hendery, Yangyang, Sungchan) the rest are very recognisable faces

Bless you my good sirs! Getting to know NCT is something you won't regret! You should also know that this guide series does not include Sungchan and Shotatro since they were introduced a month later in September.

I watched one guide then weekly idol (there were only 18 then) that was it to learn the names. Adding 3 then 2 more was just a matter of seeing them once. I think it was learning NCT so quickly that has helped me since for smaller groups lol, like brain training.

yeah, NCT
