On July 2nd, let’s take a closer look at the unlimited expansion boy group NCT launched by SM Entertainment . Of course, this is not the first Korean group to do this. For example, after school is an unlimited expansion group model. They use the graduation of old members. , the method of enrolling new members, but unfortunately it is not implemented well. Of course, the infinite expansion model is used in the boy group. It is said that this can allow the boy group to perfectly eliminate the restrictions on Korean boy groups during the enlistment period. After all, many super groups have entered the enlistment period. .
Unknowingly, NCT has been debuting for 6 years. It’s time for us to summarize the advantages and disadvantages of the infinite expansion model. The editor personally feels that this model is not successful. Although there are super first-line boy groups like NCT dream and NCT 127, However, the majority of the members in the team who were delayed still accounted for the majority. To sum up in one sentence, that is "the drought will lead to drought and the flood will die."
For example, in the team Mark Lee is a member of NCT, NCT U, NCT dream, NCT 127, superM, while Sungchan and Shotaro, who debuted in 2020, don’t even have a fixed group. They debuted two years ago I only performed once, and it was with a large group. Of course, the editor is not trying to push me. Mark Li is a talented person who works hard. He is a member who participated in the creation, and he is the veteran of the group. No matter how good his resources are, It is as it should be.
Then the problem arises. Fans obviously cannot accept the model of "the former planted trees and the latter enjoy the shade". After all, the rise of NCT is really not easy. The members who joined later seemed to have reaped the bonus of the group without doing anything. Fans feel that this is unfair to the veteran members of NCT. This is a very real problem, so fans cannot accept the addition of new members to a fixed team. Therefore, if they want to give new members a chance, they can only form a new team.
To be honest, this model distracts the popularity of the NCT brand too much. Even the arguments among fans of individual sub-units within the team are bigger than those with other groups. The same group has to compete for some awards. This seems to be healthy competition. , but it is difficult for SM Entertainment to weigh this fairness. After all, the company pursues the best interests, so the so-called fairness is out of the question, just like their senior group super junior back then.
It can be seen that SM has launched a new recruitment expansion without solving the problem. It is said that it will launch a draft for members of the NCT Tokyo team and the Hollywood team. The editor personally feels that SM Entertainment is taking this step too much. Let’s first recruit those in the team Arrangements will be made for the members without resources, and the veteran members will be given the opportunity to prepare for their solo debut. As for the so-called expansion of recruitment, it can be postponed. For powerful members like Cheng Chan who are still looking at the water dispenser, the company should take a look.
NCT The disadvantages of unlimited expansion are beginning to appear. If the members of the group are divided into fixed teams to operate like now, then this has nothing to do with unlimited expansion, and it cannot solve the so-called enlistment problem. It is like giving multiple The group has the same name, which doesn't make any sense. The editor personally feels that SM Entertainment's unlimited expansion plan is a failure. I hope SM Entertainment can treat NCT's various units and members well.
