NCT is a twenty-five member South Korean boy group under record label SM Entertainment, consisting of five sub-units: NCT U, NCT 127, NCT Dream, WayV, and NCT WISH. In 2016, NCT U debuted with the digital singles "The 7th Sense" and "Without You", which didn't gain immediate commercial success. However, “The 7th Sense” received attention from music critics for its unpredictability and uniqueness, with the platform Melon putting it a number 50 on its list “Top 100 K-pop Songs of All Time”. NCT 127's debut extended play NCT #127 and their following EP Limitless won them several new artist awards during late 2016 to early 2017, including at the 26th Seoul Music Awards and at the 6th Gaon Chart Music Awards. NCT #127 also earned them a nomination for Disc Bonsang at the 31st Golden Disc Awards. NCT Dream's debut digital single “Chewing Gum” and their subsequent single album The First received positive commercial reception.
