NCT WISH draws 40,000 fans to Tokyo fan meeting and new song

The Heat of Tokyo Keio Arena Proves a Fandom of 40,000

NCT WISH is accelerating its global activities by proving its explosive ticket power in Japan. The NCT WISH fan meeting, held over two days from July 11 to 12 at the Keio Arena in Tokyo, Japan, set a record with all four performances being completely sold out. The number of spectators who visited the venue reached approximately 40,000.

This fan meeting was structured to directly follow the universe of the 2nd anniversary debut fan meeting held in Korea last February. Under the concept "I didn't hear that six princes are proposing," various segments were prepared so that fans could experience feeling like the protagonists of a romance fantasy novel. In particular, fans showed an enthusiastic response as they encountered the stages for 'YO-I-DON!' and 'BOY MEETS GIRL', the title tracks of the new Japanese single, for the first time during this performance.

'YO-I-DON!', a Eurobeat Sound Announcing a New Beginning

At midnight on July 13, before the lingering emotions of the fan meeting could even fade, NCT WISH officially released 'YO-I-DON!', another title track from their second Japanese single 'YO-I-DON! / BOY MEETS GIRL', through various global music platforms. Following the pre-release of 'BOY MEETS GIRL' on June 22, they completed the single project by releasing this new song.

The new song 'YO-I-DON!' was inspired by the shout used to signal a start in Japan. By adopting a Eurobeat-based dance-pop sound, it simultaneously realizes a refreshing sensibility and intense energy. The lyrics capture the excitement and determination of running vigorously toward a new beginning while harboring dreams and hope. It is being evaluated as a song that suits the seasonal feeling of this summer.

The music video, released simultaneously through the SMTOWN YouTube channel, visually maximized the song's atmosphere. In the video, the members of NCT WISH participate in a running race to claim Cupid's golden wing trophy. The members' quirky competitions and witty directing, which unfold regardless of place or situation, create a pleasant energy.

NCT WISH's new Japanese single project does not stop at the digital release but continues with the release of physical albums. The new Japanese single 'YO-I-DON! / BOY MEETS GIRL' is scheduled to be officially released in Japan on July 15.

A Journey from Pre-release Song to Physical Album Release

This single project began by first presenting 'BOY MEETS GIRL', one of the double title tracks, on June 22. After warming up with the pre-release song, NCT WISH completed the single project by releasing the second title track, 'YO-I-DON!', on July 13.

The local Japanese album release is scheduled for July 15.
