NCT Wish, a K-pop boy group under SM Entertainment based in Japan, initiated the promotion of its debut single, "Wish," in Korea through a press conference in Seoul on Monday.

BoA, who played a significant role in the group's production, participated in the event. She was involved in the selection of final members through auditions and directed the group's singing and dance routines. The collaboration between SM Entertainment and the Japanese entertainment agency Avex Trax led to the introduction of the six members through the "NCT Universe: Lastart" competition show, which aired last year.
