HEY FIVE PEOPLE WHO READ THIS - NO UPDATE TOMORROW

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.

Quote from quarkie

SMTOWN was so great for the Neos. Dream were on point. 127 came to slay. WayV turned it out. Sungchan and Shotaro slapped everyone in the face. Resonance brought the house down. I am so proud of all of them. Especially our WayV babies who popped up all over the place in various stages.

it really was! It was so great to see those performance skills honed in the pandemic come to life and see people really shine and thrive on the fan response again. I can’t wait to see the smtown tokyo!
