NCT WISH is set to make a comeback with their first full-length album 'Ode to Love', and here are the points to look forward to during this album cycle.
NCT WISH will release their first full-length album 'Ode to Love' at 6 p.m. on the 20th, maintaining the group's distinct identity while showcasing the group's growth.
This album contains a total of 10 tracks including the title track 'Ode to Love.' While retaining the 'fresh' and 'neo' sensibilities they built since debut, NCT WISH's growth over the two years since debut is expected to be reflected in their first full-length album.
The title track 'Ode to Love' is a dance-pop song based on New UK Garage that features bright rhythms and a wistful melody; its lyrics express a sincere wish to convey warmth in a cold world. The track 'Sticky,' whose music video was pre-released on the 13th, captures NCT WISH's trendy and hip vibe.
In addition, the album includes songs of different charms, starting with '2.0 (TWO POINT O)', which announces a new chapter for the group; the intense 'Feel The Beat'; 'Yeoubi (Crush)', which sings of the thrill of falling in love; the free-spirited energy of 'Street (2AM)'; the resolute 'Glow Up'; the confident-message 'Everglow'; the fluttering emotions expressed in 'Don't Say You Love Me'; and 'Voyage', which conveys hope and determination to fans.
This comeback also featured a promotion that preserves NCT WISH's unique universe and induces 'overimmersion.' The concept borrowing 'Eros' from Greek mythology and his twin brother 'Anteros' was used not only as a visual element but as a central axis driving the album's overall narrative. Beginning with teaser images and shaping contrasting images between members, the promotion website 'Ode Diary' unfolds the story of 'Eros' and 'Anteros' sharing a secret diary to make fans' dreams come true, inviting fans into the universe.
On the official social media, content sequentially revealed the reborn 'Anteros' living an ordinary life after losing his memories. Settings in everyday spaces such as a university campus, cafes, and restaurants created a sense of realism, and fans responded enthusiastically to the realistic portrayals of NCT WISH members.
Along with these talked-about promotions, the members have been continuing busy activities. The members recently showed friendly charm in YouTube content 'Call Me Baby' and on 'Cellphone KODE' and 'Baejobjob', and they will also appear on 'Jibdaeseong' on the 17th and 'Dolbagiil' on the 19th. In addition, from April 17 to 19 they will hold encore performances of their first solo concert NCT WISH 1st CONCERT TOUR 'INTO THE WISH : Our WISH' over three days at KSPO DOME in Olympic Park, Seoul.
On the release day, the 20th, at 4:30 p.m. they plan to share the excitement of their comeback with fans through a housewarming-concept release commemorative live, and from April 21 to May 3 a pop-up store where fans can more fully experience the first full-length album will be held on the 5th floor Sounds Forest and at EPIC SEOUL at The Hyundai Seoul in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul.
