K-Pop Blog > News> NCT
Those who regularly check NCT's social media channels have already noticed that the boy band announced yesterday that they will be making a comeback with the whole group on August 28! This announcement has undoubtedly sparked excitement and anticipation among fans called NCTzen's. NCT followed up directly with new details today, unveiling two versions of the fourth full album "Golden Age".
"Golden Age" is probably the last group album before the boy group is completed by NCT Tokyo. So it ends an era full of memories.
The upcoming comeback is only NCT's fourth with all members! Currently NCT consists of 20 members, as this year Lucas, Sungchan and Shotaro left the boy group. Sungchan and Shotaro will soon debut in the new SM boy group RIIZE. The last full album "Universe" was almost 20 months ago, as it was released on December 14, 2021.
In this article, we'll summarize all the details about the physical albums known so far for you!
First of all, let's take a look at the "Archiving Version":
Not all contents are known yet, but nevertheless this version promises to be a highlight already. You can expect a booklet with 224 pages! It comes with a cover, one of 20 possible bookmarks, one of four stickers, one of 20 Ear Book cards and one of 20 photo cards. More details to be announced.
In addition, there are also 20 "Collecting Versions".
Each version is dedicated to one of the 20 members and consists of a 40-page booklet. And that's not all, of course. It includes a cover, an index, a nuts and bolts set, and folded lyrics, among other things. You also get a few random extras: one of 20 possible postcards, one of 20 license cards, one of 20 photo cards and one of 20 folded posters.
You won't know which photo card or postcard you'll get until you unpack the album!
Note: There are 20 different versions, but because we only get them randomly, we can only offer them randomly in the store. But as always, you are welcome to specify a wish when ordering and we will try to fulfill it. Please note that this is not always possible.
In the past, NCT and other SM groups have often announced more versions piece by piece, so it's not unlikely that more variants will be available soon. We're excited to see what else is in store!
With a reputation for pushing boundaries, experimenting with different genres, and consistently delivering high quality music, NCT raises high expectations among K-Pop fans worldwide with each announcement. The first details only add to the excitement!
More teasers like the tracklist will be uploaded in the coming days and weeks, but it is likely that the different units like NCT Dream or WayV will record a song for the album. Also, we can definitely look forward to new combinations.
About NCT:
NCT was founded by SM Entertainment and is a pioneer in the K-pop industry with their unusual concept of being active primarily in subunits. This approach allows NCT to showcase a wide range of talents and musical styles, making each release a diverse and engaging experience. The first unit, "NCT U", debuted in April 2016 with the singles "7th Sense" and "Without You."
This was followed by four more units: NCT 127, NCT Dream, WayV, and most recently NCT DoJaeJung. Each new unit stormed the charts and solidified NCT's status as one of the most successful K-pop groups in the world.
Originally, the group debuted with the concept that it would expand infinitely and keep creating new units. However, earlier this year SM Entertainment announced that the expansion would end and only one final unit would debut: NCT Tokyo. So NCT will soon be complete at last.
