Group NCT WISH (NCT WISH) delivered a perfect healing live performance set against the great outdoors.
NCT WISH on the 21st appeared on Kakao Entertainment's global K-pop media 1theK (1theK) original content "Outdoor recording studio" to perform a live of the new song 'Ode to Love' (Ode to Love).
In the video, the members presented fresh visuals and flawless live vocals in an open outdoor space with a panoramic view of the great outdoors, filling the screen with their distinctive clear aura and creating a unique atmosphere.
The title track 'Ode to Love' samples the world-renowned band The Cranberries' classic 'Ode to My Family' (Ode to My Family) and reinterprets the original's iconic humming motif as dance pop based on modern New UK Garage, drawing attention.
In particular, NCT WISH layered their own trendy, clear sensibility over the original's wistful nostalgia, adding a pleasant sense of liberation for listeners and showcasing their status as the ultimate in refreshment.
"Outdoor recording studio" is an innovative企画 content that allows viewers to experience singers' live performances as if hearing them on site, set against everyday spaces such as inside buses, restaurants, cafes and supermarkets. It broke away from standardized studio sets to capture the air of the vast outdoors as is, maximizing its distinctive sense of being on location.
In particular, the members' sweet, soft voices blended exquisitely with the genre's characteristically fast-paced beats, delivering fresh energy to listeners' ears. Delicate vocal lines that preserved each individual's personality made the song's narrative more three-dimensional and rich, and the clear tones that shone without heavy post-production once again proved NCT WISH's solid vocal capabilities.
Wang Seong-hyun PD, who produced the video, said, "The members' transparent vocal colors and natural gestures matched the outdoor background perfectly, creating dramatic scenes without special direction. The live content purely revealed the song's refreshing sensibility," and he added, "Thanks to the positive energy the members emitted throughout the shoot, even the on-site staff were able to feel the fresh atmosphere."
