I. Introduction
NCT News is an ongoing monthly web series that highlights news from the boy group NCT in the form of a mock news broadcast, complete with "anchors," "experts" and special reports. It is one of the shows that is part of the The NCT Show umbrella.
II. Overview
The group structure of 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 it is comprised of several individual subunits.
Currently there are 23 members in NCT, making up four individual subunits. The sub-units combine to create an all-unit project in select years that features all NCT members, debuts new ones, releases albums and appears on TV shows, web and social content.
As part of the NCT 2021 Universe event, NCT launched an ongoing monthly suite of shows in February 2022 that combined members across units under the umbrella The NCT Show. It was also announced that there would be a special season of SM Station, SM's digital music project, focused around NCT members, which drives some of each month's content.
As part of each month's NCT Show content, there are recurring and limited series. NCT News is one of the recurring series with new episodes each month. The show is presented like a mock broadcast, including a rotating pair of anchors and special correspondents who report on everything from the weather to food to skincare trends to how they're passing the time in quarantine in segments both serious and spoof. The show also announces actual updates for the group, including tour dates, album releases, casting news and the upcoming artists in the NCT Lab series.
