Neo's Got My Fact

DYK the WayV unit has had many possible permutations before debut? Renjun and Chenle practiced songs with the other WayV members (Kun and Winwin), while Johnny, Doyoung and Jungwoo all studied Chinese. Politics played a key role in the delay of the unit's launch and members moved around in the interim. So possible unit formations for WayV could have been Kun, Winwin, Renjun, Chenle, Doyoung and Johnny. Ten might have gone into 127 or WayV.

Your daily pick of NCT

For full details updated every day, you can click or follow the Neo Communication Center thread. This is a pinned news/update thread in the Neo City Guild that's updated at least once daily and only has Neo news, key chart updates, and updates like IG and Weibo posts.

If you are looking for the latest on a specific member, we also update their specific member threads. You might also find pix or memes related to that member in their thread, so it's not entirely news. These aren't pinned, so I've listed direct links below.
