WayV
WayV (威神V) is NCT's China-based unit, but the group stopped feeling like a side branch years ago. Under SM Entertainment, Kun, Ten, Winwin, Xiaojun, Hendery, and YangYang have built a Mandarin-led catalog with its own shape, moving between sleek performance tracks, richer vocal material, and bilingual crossover releases without losing identity.
The strongest proof is the run from Phantom to On My Youth, Give Me That, Frequency, and the winter release 白色定格 (Eternal White). That sequence gave WayV real depth rather than a few isolated peaks. The group can still deliver SM-style performance precision, but it also knows how to slow the tempo down and let the vocals carry the record.
2026 also clarified the unit's durability. When Ten's exclusive solo contract with SM ended in April, the company confirmed he would continue WayV and NCT group activity. That mattered because it reinforced the obvious point: WayV is now a durable six-member act with its own audience, touring power, and catalog weight across markets.
