Watch the music video for 'Make A Wish (Birthday Song)' here:
This was quickly followed up with a music video for 'From Home', released only shortly a week after 'Make A Wish'. The slow ballad is seamlessly woven with four different languages, namely Korean, English, Chinese, and Japanese.
During their V Live broadcast, NCT unveiled the first NCT U unit, 'Make a Wish', to consist of Doyoung, Jaehyun, Taeyong, Jaemin, Lucas, and Shotaro. Their upcoming song 'Make a Wish', was teased by members to be a "pop dance song based on a hip hop beat, with a catchy whistle riff".
Another NCT U unit that was announced is the 'From Home' team that comprises of Doyoung, Kun, Haechan, Renjun, Yuta, Chenle, and Taeil. 'From Home' will be a ballad track sang in different languages.
A secret unit was also revealed to be made up by Mark, YangYang, Haechan, Jeno, Ten, WinWin and Sungchan. WinWin was said to be the leader of the unit, and they were labelled as the "mysterious group" as their album will be coming out in November instead. They also hinted fans that it was a "retro hip-hop song".
The last NCT U unit revealed during the broadcast consists of Johnny, Hendery, Jisung, Ten, Jaemin, Yuta, and Jungwoo. The second secret unit also dropped the news that they have a feel-good EDM song coming in November.
NCT 2020: RESONANCE Pt. 1 will be out 12 October, and Pt. 2 will be out on November 23.
