NCT (Korean: 엔시티; an acronym for Neo Culture Technology) is a South Korean boy group formed by SM Entertainment and introduced by the label's founder in January 2016. The group consists of 23 members as of April 2021, ranging in age from late teens to mid-twenties and divided into four different sub-units.
The group debuted their first sub-unit, the rotational NCT U, on April 9, 2016 with the double digital single "The 7th Sense" and "Without You". It was followed by the Seoul-based sub-unit NCT 127 on July 7, 2016 with their eponymous extended play and the then-teenaged sub-unit NCT Dream on August 24, 2016 with the digital single "Chewing Gum". WayV, a seven-member sub-unit based in China and NCT's first overseas sub-unit, debuted on January 17, 2019 with the single album The Vision. NCT's second overseas sub-unit, NCT Hollywood, will be based in the United States and is set to debut at a later date.
Although each sub-unit promotes separately, NCT has united twice as a group to record two full-length albums, Empathy (2018) and Resonance (2020). Within two months of release, the latter sold over 2.6 million copies across its two parts, becoming the highest-selling physical album ever released by an act from SM Entertainment and earning the group their first Grand Daesang Award at the 2020 Asia Artist Awards.
