Exactly ten years after SM Entertainment's vision to revolutionize K-pop through expansive global growth, NCT is set to illuminate Seoul for a month-long, city-wide festival commemorating its milestone. Throughout September, the conglomerate — inclusive of sub-groups NCT 127, NCT DREAM, WayV, NCT U, and NCT WISH — will spearhead a multifaceted cultural takeover.
This celebration encapsulates live performances, high fashion, and interactive light installations, heralding a decade since the brand's inception in 2016. Initially considered a daring structural shift in an industry traditionally anchored by permanent groups, NCT's innovative, open-member model has since solidified its position as a leading commercial force in contemporary Hallyu culture.
The festivities commence by the Han River at Banpo Hangang Park, where the renowned Moonlight Rainbow Fountain will perform daily water displays synchronized to the group's biggest hits. Concurrently, NCT will collaborate with the 2027 S/S Seoul Fashion Week at Jamsil's iconic Lotte World Tower for additional festivities.
