• The biggest news today is in one of those alleged "upcoming releases type of twts" for 2023. As always, take with a grain of salt.
  
  • Key takeaways:
    • NCT 127 member solo (I'd think Taeil since he's enlisting next year and it's usually the SM MO to drop an enlistment solo. Otherwise, it will be one of the Holy Trinity methinks.)
    • NCT 127 album (as whole group) - this could still be Taeil as the soloist. His bday is in June and he is six months from that point to enlist. However, there also would have to be space for the alleged EXO group comeback, which would have to be jammed into the same timeframe to catch a discharged Baek (Mar) and a pre-enlistment Kai (6-mo window starts in January). I was hopeful they'd pick up the Link in the first few months of the year but it sounds like those will be our last full US concerts for a few years, which hurts. But tbf, the smaller EXO did a tour, so it's possible NCT could too, esp. knowing TY's enlistment will be longer because of his back. )
    • NCT Dream album (as whole group) and tour
    • WayV album and fan meeting/concert/tour (which is odd because members are saying album is coming out this year..that would be pretty exciting to have a full album this year and another one next year like the other units)
    • NCT 2023 is not in the list, nor is NCT Japan.
    • Also (the grain of salt) we got some of this same stuff last year and our solos turned out to be SM Stations that SM couldn't even keep up with after a few months. And I've seen that EXO sub-unit teased for like 2 years now.

Neo's Got My Fact

You may know the most streamed song on Spotify for each unit, but did you know every unit has a song from 2020 in their top 5? While most units have slightly older songs in their most streamed tracks sheerly by the amount of time, it's interesting you can mark the surge in interest in the group with those pandemic markers. The oldest and youngest sub-units each have 2 songs!

Here's the song from each unit in its top 5 songs:

NCT U - Make A Wish (#2), 90s Love (#5)

NCT 127 - Kick It (#2)

NCT Dream - Ridin (#5)

WayV - Turn Back Time (#3), Nectar (#5)

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.
