The group NCT Wish is expected to solidify the modifier of 'Zhenzi's icon' with three consecutive refreshing songs, from their debut song 'Wish' and previous song 'Song Bird' to their new song 'Steady'.

NCT Wish held its first mini-album 'Steady' showcase at Blue Square Mastercard Hall in Yongsan, Seoul, on the 24th and told the story of the new album.

NCT Wish will release its first mini-album 'Steady' and begin its activities. It is the first comeback in about two months since the single 'Songbird' released in July. Xion said, "I'm excited and excited because it's my first mini-album. I'm nervous, but I'll try my best." and Yuushi said, "I want to show you a better side than the songbird that came out before."How do you feel about making a comeback.



In particular, this album is surprising, with more than 800,000 pre-orders alone. As the pre-order volume of the previous single 'Songbird' has exceeded 630,000, we can guess the remarkable growth of NCT Wish. Xion said, "I think that more people like it than before, and I will work harder to repay you."We are also confused because we heard about it through an article in the morning. As much as the fans are looking forward to us, we'll try to show you great and pretty sides," he said.

In response to this growth, Jae-hee said "The staff who help us, our members, and the people who are the most grateful and driving force are the NCTzens. We have 800,000 copies, and the goal is to grow up to 1 million next time, and Sakuya also said, `I want to work hard on this 'steady' activity and win first place in all music programs.'

The title song 'Steady' is a dance song with a blend of beats and sophisticated melodies of house, UK garage, and jersey clubs. As he expressed his pure heart to continue our miraculous encounter forever with Gen Z sensibility, it contains the kitsch charm of NCT Wish, which is worthy of the modifier 'Gen Z.'

Sakuya loves the short form because NCT's wish is 'Genji Icon'. As I sincerely enjoy filming, I think I get a natural smile or smile, and Zion pointed out that "I think my age charm came out fun on the short form and became the representative of 'Zhenzi'".

It was 2024, which was busier than anyone else, from its debut this year to its previous work 'Songbird's activity 'Steady'. Looking back on this year, the members pointed out the most memorable moment. Jae-hee said "It's time to start a Korean music program for the first time. I remember performing in my hometown during the national tour. Every moment was meaningful, but it was a heartbreaking moment. If I hadn't come this way, I thought I couldn't see pretty sides on stage, so I said 'I made a good choice' and Riku said 'I think I got closer to NCTzen during the national tour' Yuusi also added that the stage was memorable when he won the Rookie Award.

As for future plans, Jae-hee will start her Asian tour in November. I want to make new memories in that place while going to other areasSakuya said, "I want to have fun while eating delicious food during the Asian tour." As for the expected modifier, Zion hoped "I want to get the modifier that I'm the best rookie of 2024". In addition, 'Dream Stage', Yuusi said "Wouldn't it be fun to stand in a stadium or a dome?"
