I. Introduction
NCT Lab is the sixth season of SM Station singles featuring artists from SM Entertainment. The season began on February 4, 2022 and is still ongoing.
II. Background & Release
SM Station is a digital music project under SM Entertainment that involves solos or duets from members in existing SM groups, as well as opportunities for singers to experiment in other genres or collaborate with artists inside and outside of SM Entertainment. The project releases a number of singles digitally each year on digital platforms, including streaming audio like Spotify.
SM announced a new project under SM Station to focus around the boy group NCT. NCT is unique among K-Pop groups due to the fact that the concept of NCT is an ever expanding group with "unlimited" members and is comprised of several individual sub-units. There are currently four sub-units: NCT 127, NCT Dream, WayV and NCT U.
NCT Lab will include solo songs, self-composed tracks and sub-unit work outside of the group's albums. The first song announced for the season was a solo song "Child" from NCT 127 and NCT Dream main rapper Mark.
