NCT Universe: LASTART Ep 7 (Patreon)

It was super interesting to get a bit of an insight into what a company looks for when composing a group like this without having to take in fan input. I like that we got a lot of moments for the seniors to give real practical and actionable advice to the trainees. I was totally satisfied with the lineup, and it's a shame that Jungmin had to withdraw, but I'm pretty sure that they kept him on as a trainee so hopefully we'll eventually be able to see him again sometime down the line even if it's not with SM. Having seen 'Hands Up' and the choreo for it specifically, I definitely think that this unit is gonna bring us something special as long as SM continues to invest in them. In fact, they should absolutely have their own management team completely focused on pushing them in the Japanese market.
