[SINGAPORE] NCT WISH Deliver A Steady Performance For Singzennies

It was a wishful Saturday for NCTzens, also known as Czennies, as NCT Wish brought their fancon tour LOG-IN to Singapore. This also marked the first time the six boys visited our sunny shores, following in the footsteps of other subunits NCT 127, NCT Dream and WAYV. 

Czennies were in for a treat, as the boys performed their newest songs, including latest title-track popop, and even delighted the crowd with covers of EXO’s Growl and Shinhwa’s Eusha Eusha. Here’s our rundown of everything that happened at the fancon in Singapore!

Let’s go STEADY

The concert, which was themed like a game, started out with a futuristic VCR introducing the different members as players. The mission? Cheer steadily for the boys throughout the concert to clear the levels and continue the fun. 

NCT Wish took the stage with their debut track WISH, followed by Steady. Despite their young age (the group has an average age of 19.5 years old), the stage was clearly their home. Maknae line members Jaehee and Ryo impressed with their strong vocals, while youngest member Sakuya performed with ease. As the lyrics of WISH go, ‘Future’s in our hands’, the future of KPOP is definitely bright with this rookie group’s strong performance. The first section of the concert ended with their remake of Miracle, released as part of SM’s 60th anniversary album.

WISH come true

The next segment transported us all to our school days. With the backdrop of high school tables and chairs, the boys came out in uniform-inspired outfits with their sweet song 3 Minutes. This was followed by their energetic performance of Dunk Shot. The song cleverly incorporated basketball moves like dribbling and passing, showing off the group’s youthful energy. 

After back-to-back performances, NCT Wish took a moment to make wishes come true with their challenge corner. Through screams, fans could decide which challenge the boys would perform for them on stage. During the voting for Mark’s 1999 vs EXO’s Growl, members Jaehee, Sion and Yushi gave a sneak-peek of the choreo, resulting Growl to emerge as the clear winner.

Continuing on the momentum of cover songs, NCT Wish took the stage with their cover of NCT U’s Make A Wish, which highlighted their powerful yet sharp dance moves. 

Their next few performances were a sharp contrast against their usual youthful concept, with songs like Melt Inside My Pocket, Choo Choo and NASA. Yushi and Riku shined during these performance-heavy tracks. Characterised by strong beats and catchy music, the youngest unit of NCT got a chance to show off their ‘NEO’ sound. 

Feeling go ‘pop’

The boys performed their latest comeback song, popop in matching mint “I star WISH’ t-shirts.  As the show drew to an end, the members took the time to express their gratitude. Leader Sion shared that the group would repay the love fans gave them with even more love and gratitude, and that NCT Wish will continue working hard to prove that. Youngest member Sakuya, known for his love for bread, also promised that he would try the kaya toast recommended by fans.  

Playfully chiming in with Singlish phrases throughout the show, the group was also seen at Night Safari and the Merlion after the show, getting the real Singaporean experience. We hope NCT Wish had as much fun in Singapore as we did at their show!

Thank you IME Singapore for the invite!
