NCT WISH is set to make their highly anticipated return with their second mini-album, “POP POP”, which will be released on April 14 across various streaming platforms. The album features a total of six tracks, including the title song “POP POP”, as well as “Melt Inside My Pocket,” “Design,” “천,” and “Silly Dance.”

The group’s vibrant and refreshing concept has already begun generating excitement. On March 20, NCT WISH unveiled their official comeback teaser image on social media, featuring the members reaching out to touch floating bubbles. The visual hints at a bright and refreshing aesthetic, which aligns with their established musical identity.

NCT WISH has gained significant popularity for their “refreshing & neo” concept, which was well-received in their previous hits “Songbird” and “Steady”. With this upcoming release, they aim to further captivate global fans with their signature clear and energetic sound.

The group’s impact on the music industry has been remarkable. Despite having released only three albums, NCT WISH has already sold over 2 million copies, making them the best-selling debut artist of 2024. Their rapid rise in popularity also earned them multiple Rookie of the Year awards, solidifying their status as one of the most successful new acts in K-pop.

Their international appeal is expected to translate into strong global chart performance. Given their previous success, industry experts predict that “POP POP” will continue to strengthen their foothold in overseas markets.

Beyond their comeback, NCT WISH is also preparing for their first solo concert. The group will perform at Olympic Handball Gymnasium in Seoul from March 21 to 23, marking a major milestone in their career. Following their domestic concerts, they will embark on an Asian tour, stopping in Macau, Manila, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taipei, and a total of eight cities across the region.

With a refreshing new album and their first major tour on the horizon, NCT WISH is poised to further establish themselves as one of the most promising K-pop acts. As they continue to expand their reach, all eyes are on how “POP POP” will shape their growing global influence.
