Over the last few weeks, fans of NCT have tuned into NCT Universe: LASTART as eleven talented trainees worked for the chance to join the group’s newest subunit.
In this final episode, the trainees split into two teams to perform two of NCT U‘s tracks, “90s Love” and “Boss.” Sion and Yushi were included in both songs due to their confirmed status as members.

After receiving comments from the judging team, the new NCT members were announced! It was previously stated that this unit would be NCT Tokyo, but this was not confirmed in the episode, with the group being called NCT New Team instead.
After their official SM Rookies introductions, Sion and Yushi were already confirmed to debut in the new unit.
The first to be announced was 18-year-old Daeyoung. Daeyoung was added to the program in episode four.
Next to be announced was the show’s youngest contestant, Sakuya. At 15 years old, Sakuya will be the youngest member of NCT overall.
20-year-old Japanese trainee Riku was the next to be announced for the new group.
Before the sixth, supposedly final member, was announced, Super Junior‘s Eunhyuk revealed that one more trainee would be added to the final team, making the debut number seven.
Jungmin was announced to be the next member joining NCT’s newest unit after ranking first in the previous challenges.
The final member announced to be a new member of NCT was 15-year-old Ryo.
While many fans are naturally upset some of their favorites did not make it into the group, others are not excited over the ages of the new members, especially Ryo and Sakuya.
