NCT, a popular boy group under SM Entertainment, faces contract renewal issues, sparking concerns among fans and the industry. The group, known for its numerous members and sub-units, is said to be facing the infamous “seven-year curse” as their contracts near expiration.
Korean media outlet 헤럴드경제 exclusively reported on the situation, drawing parallels to the ongoing contract renewal issue between YG Entertainment and BLACKPINK member Lisa. With both NCT and BLACKPINK debuting in the same year, some are worried that NCT might also face difficulties in renewing their contracts.
However, a representative from SM Entertainment has come forward to clarify the situation. According to the spokesperson, NCT has taken various factors into consideration when signing their contracts, including enlistment and overseas activities. As a result, the contract period was set to be longer than usual. While each member’s contract expiration date may differ, there is no contract expiration for any member this year. All members are expected to have their contracts expire after next year.
NCT made their debut on April 9, 2016, with the subunit NCT U. Since then, the group has expanded to include subunits such as NCT 127, NCT DREAM, WayV, NCT DOJAEJUNG, and NCT TOKYO (to be determined). The group continues to release music and captivate fans worldwide.
