For full details updated everyday, 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.

Appreciate feedback here! I didn't put Twt links because I know it gets bulky but it felt too dry without any pics. Thoughts here? (Not every day is this busy, tbh)

Oh I also left out IG updates that weren’t around work or CFs here. I put them in the comms center but it seemed unnecessary here - thoughts on that?

Quote from chounim

Wow I wasn't aware of most of these things aside from the teasers and upcoming releases.

Hoping for a full and speedy recovery @ chenle

Thank you the101, this was a great idea.

Thanks Chounim - I'd give SooYoung full credit here for the idea. They made a good point about making sure the latest news gets out into the main forum in addition to guild updates.
