From massive album sales to a sweeping Asia tour, NCT WISH is leaving no doubt—they’re 2025’s undisputed “one-top” rookie turned global icon.

💿 Record-Breaking Sales: 1.33 Million+ for ‘poppop’

Their second mini-album ‘poppop’ didn’t just meet expectations—it shattered them. With over 1.21 million pre-orders and a total of 1.33 million copies sold as of June 30, the group earned their first million-seller title, outperforming their debut album ‘Steady’. They’ve now set the highest album sales among artists debuting post-2024.

From topping QQ Music’s K-pop chart for 2 weeks to dominating domestic charts and hitting milestones on Apple Music, YouTube, and AWA Japan, NCT WISH continues to blaze a trail.

🎤 From Seoul to Asia: 25 Shows, 8 Countries, All Sold Out

Their Asia Tour LOG IN spanned 13 shows in 8 cities, including Seoul, Macau, Hong Kong, Manila, Singapore, Taipei, Jakarta, and Bangkok. Adding in their 2023 Japan pre-debut tour, the group has completed 62 shows across 28 regions in under two years—a stunning achievement for a new group.

With every seat sold and media coverage soaring, NCT WISH has solidified its position as a fan favorite across Asia and a powerful player in the K-pop live performance scene.

📈 SNS Trendsetters & Award-Winning Icons

Their viral charm is redefining Gen Z trends. With hashtags trending during every live appearance, their unique “WISH-core” aesthetic—sparkly, emotional, youthful—is influencing both fans and brands.

They swept awards like:

  • 🏆 ASEA 2025: Main Award, Best Performance
  • 🏆 34th Seoul Music Awards: Main Award, Best Group

And with collaborations across cosmetics, apparel, drinks, and theme parks, NCT WISH is becoming a lifestyle brand as much as a music group.

🎪 What’s Next?

They’re not slowing down. A new album is coming this Q3, with appearances already lined up for:

  • Show! Music Core in Japan
  • SBS Gayo Daejeon Summer Special
  • Osaka EXPO 2025 – Summer Dance Music Fes.

All eyes are on NCT WISH as they move from Asia’s sweetheart rookies to global K-pop leaders.
