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.

let's go Love Talk

All due respect to NCT Dream, but I would really love this for WayV if only to send the message to SM to stop sleeping on the group and keeping them inactive. They are the group that benefits the most from post-all-unit bumps and many of the members have remained visible throughout the year, increasing the possibility of possibilities.

Quote from quarkie

I wish I knew how popular Ten's show was because right now I feel like that's been the biggest holdup since I feel like Winwin is about to be non-promoting member. I really hope keeping Ten in China for a year pays off.

It seems to start slow and then picked up - last I saw a few weeks ago, it was like #3 or something for variety shows.

Quote from quarkie

That's good then. I know he's having a rough time over there by himself sometimes so I hope it all works out and they can have a comeback soon.

It's a cute show. The thing I find most interesting is how many of the young dancers are not only familiar with Ten and his work, but hold him in such awe. I also think WayV was a good training ground for him and these experiences - the Weishens would gently poke fun at his Mandarin errors while encouraging and helping him. Everyone is the same way on GDC, from the other hosts to the dancers, but I think it was maybe a good prep for coming into this with a good sport/sense of humor about it. (It's also cute because they good-naturedly tease he and Santa about their Mandarin but Fei - who can be fierce and is like the Simon Cowell of judges on these shows - is very soft with him when she helps him with a word or corrects him.)

I didn't mention here but the other big move I'm watching is the #1 b-side. Baby Don't Like It has been the #1 bside for infinite time, but Life Is Still Going On is very close to it now. Based on the rate of streams, I would expect it to pass soon.
