I know There’s always a lot going on in NCity, whether it’s making all units and members stuns or unit stuns. So much has happened in a year, and towards the end of it, you ask yourself again. “What have I been through this year?” But a lot of NCTzens running around NCity don’t know what to do with their lives, but at least they’re proud of their boys while they’re doing it.

This year, the NCT Boys have made us happier than ever. We turned into mothers who started pointing at their children and yelling, “Here’s my child!” NCT has been everywhere this year, from comebacks to tours, solo songs to collaborations, TV shows and movies to magazine covers. We’d love to relive every moment they were speechless, but that would take too long, so let’s focus on NCT’s music and what they’ve been up to this year.

NCT lab‘s first production, ‘Children’ will come out in early 2022 from none other than the talented Mark Lee, and with a great start, the project has excited us. The second was “coNEXTion (Age of Light)” sung by Doyoung, Haechan, and Mark, which was performed with Shotaro’s wonderful choreography. And “Rain Day”, which was written, composed, and arranged by Kun, is a beautiful song completed with Taeil and Yangyang. As the fourth release, we released Jaehyun’s solo “Forever Only”. And finally Ten’s “Birthday”. This project is a great opportunity to rediscover just how talented our boys are, and we hope to see even more in 2023.
