WayV

In 2019, K-pop boy band NCT spun off its fourth sub-unit, WayV. As NCT's first China-based collective, the group performed a familiar blend of hip-hop, dance, and pop with R&B-stylized vocals sung in Mandarin. Unveiled in mid-2018, they made their official debut in early 2019 with the single album The Vision. The next year, they issued their first full-length, Awaken the World. Additional EPs were released, alongside their participation in full team efforts NCT 2020 and Universe.
