SM announced plans to launch an NCT China unit on August 13, 2018. Winwin was moved to the new unit, beginning a hiatus from the group on November 22, 2018. The move was handled awkwardly, creating stress for members, who could not speak about it, and a frustrated and confused fandom. The formation of the group was finalized and announced on December 31, under a new China-exclusive label. Due to the political tensions between China and South Korea at the time, the group was not promoted as an NCT sub unit.
