NCT WISH’s 2nd Anniversary Fan Meeting and JNJM’s MV Teaser Raise Expectations for Two New Songs

Two NCT units moved fans at once. NCT WISH’s 2nd anniversary fan meeting sold out across both shows, and NCT JNJM released a teaser for their new music video, signaling full-fledged activities to come. As Seezni fandom’s expectations run high, reports say the two units’ new stages and concepts were introduced in quick succession. First, NCT WISH’s 2nd Anniversary Fanmeeting took place on February 21 at 2:30 PM and 8:00 PM at the Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul. Both shows sold out through advance ticketing, and they kept global fans connected via Beyond LIVE and Weverse. The fan meeting was themed around a romance fantasy novel, and Seezni themselves voted on the members’ character settings, their home kingdoms, and the first lines of their debut appearances, giving the event a distinctive touch. The first floor featured a red carpet, a stage with a gate, stairs, and a balcony to evoke a banquet hall mood, and audiences felt as if the novel’s world was unfolding before them. Seven? Six princes from NCT WISH appeared to kick off the performances, and in “Prince Ping Song” they unveiled choreography using a throne and a toy sword for the first time. They then presented the closing act for the start of the concert with a group ring-proposal in “Until the End of This World.” The show’s atmosphere drew audiences in with the members’ varied acting and performances, creating a musical-like immersion. Personal missions aligned with fan-chosen character settings and crowd-rousing team missions followed. For the first show, EXO’s “The Eve” was performed, and for the second show, Park Ji-yoon’s “Coming-of-Age” was staged, drawing a strong reaction. Additionally, for the first time a six-member version of EXO’s “Electric Kiss” cover from the debut reality show NCT Universe: LASTART lit up the现场. Wearing animal costumes as part of a cute “curse” concept, the members carried out missions amid fan cheers. Games including expressing proverbs with body movements and quick-fire team challenges kept the energy high. Papaya’s “Hear My Story” and Twice’s “TT” covers were also performed, adding to the appeal. A 2nd-anniversary thank-you message VCR touched fans, and the stage featured the debut of “If You Came at 4, Would You Still Be Here? (Still 3PM)” alongside artificial grass, a fountain, and flowers forming an aerial garden set. Petal confetti scented as fans had chosen scattered, seemingly bringing a happy ending to life on stage. Finally, NCT WISH offered thanks for their 2nd anniversary, with the crowd responding with sing-alongs, slogans, and cheer events. The encore kept the mood with “3 Minutes,” and the final song “Tears Are Falling” saw photographs from the past two years and members’ handwritten messages displayed on screens, touching fans’ hearts even more. NCT WISH also announced that Asia tour will continue with the first concert tour, INTO THE WISH: Our WISH, at the Taipei NTSU Arena on February 28. Next, news about NCT JNJM’s new song also drew attention. The duo of Jeno and Jaemin, who are drawing attention as a unit, had their mini-album BOTH SIDES’ title-track music video teaser released on February 22 at 0:00 on SMTOWN’s YouTube channel. The teaser shows Jeno and Jaemin facing off against each other, heightening anticipation for the main release, and the lively melody highlights each member’s personality. The new track is described as a hip-hop dance song with “sensory sound design and smooth drum beats” and “witty vocals and rap,” with lyrics conveying the message of persuading the other with two different charms. BOTH SIDES will include six tracks in total, and the music video is expected to feature playful storytelling that humorously explores the difference between the two members’ characters. The full MV will be released on February 23 at 6 PM on various music sites. SM Entertainment announced the new songs for both units, and fans’ expectations are running high.
