NCT Wish recently met with Sports Chosun somewhere in Yongsan, Seoul, and said, `I will pop the chart 'pop pop' with the new song 'pop pop.'
It is the first time in about seven months that NCT Wish will make a comeback in the domestic music industry since its first mini-album 'Steady' released in September last year. In January, he worked as a track on the SM Town 30th anniversary album 'Miracle', but it has been a long time since he released an album under the name of NCT Wish.
Jae-hee "There are six songs, and I really like all of them. It's our first album in 2025, and I think it's a good start. Riku is confident that he can perform better than he did during "Steady". I want to show NCTzen that we're good at it", Ryo also expressed his nervousness ahead of the comeback, saying, `I'm curious about the fans' reactions and I'm excited because I think the activities will be fun.'
Starting with 'Wish' in February last year, NCT Wish, who has been busy with various activities such as 'Songbird', 'Steady', and 'Dunk Shoot', seems to have been busy preparing for the second mini album.
Zion also prepared 'Songbird' at the same time last year when promoting 'Wish' and 'Steady' at the same time when promoting 'Songbird'. In fact, we prepared for the tour and this album together. As it was definitely tight, the members were able to catch the details and dance faster. The choreography practice seems to have accelerated as well."
The new song consists of a total of six songs, including the title song of the same name 'PopPopPop'. From the excitement of love for the first time to the clumsy confession, he refreshingly unraveled the various emotions of his first love.
Jae-hee "When you look at these songs, there are many exciting lyrics and many interesting expressions. For example, in the song 'Cheon', there is a lyric that the nails get shorter because of you while folding 1000 cranes, and in 'Cily Dance', there is a lyric that says, "When I stand in front of you, I click." There are many lyrics with this exciting element, so I sang it while imagining to make the song work well."
When young members sing love-themed songs, I also wonder what they will think. In response to the question, Sakuya expressed her affection for the fans at once, saying, `Since our first love is NCTzen, we call them thinking of NCTzen.'

Members recalled the first time they heard 'PopPop'. Riku said "It's addictive, it's been ringing in my ears" and Jaehee said "Oh, it's good" as soon as I heard it, but when I went home, I said "Pop Pop". I think NCTzens and listeners would feel the same way," he said with pride.
It also tipped off the performance. "I think the performance came out better because it's a genre that feels more sophisticated than the previous title song," Xion said. "Of course, the previous songs were very refreshing, but the performance felt very intense." This time, it was very intense again, and Ryo said "There is a point choreography in the hook, so I think I can easily follow it."
Above all, attention is also being paid to the fact that member Riku has returned this time. Riku, who briefly suspended his activities due to health conditions in October last year, got enough stability and rest and returned to his team's activities in February. Riku "I've recovered a lot and I'm doing well. I was very nervous while preparing for the concert for the first time in a long time, and I was very happy to see the expressions and faces of the NCTzens, and I was happy to stand on stage again as a group of six."
He also added the goal he wanted to achieve with this 'pop pop'. Yuwushi says, "I hope that people who listen or see us can feel our own colors."I want to focus on showing that we've really grown this year. I want to show our energy to many people" he hoped.
Jae-hee said "It's not the goal, it's the wish, but I want our music to be heard a lot on the street", and Ryo wished "I want it to be on the music charts".
Lastly, Xion "This album and the members practiced hard and recorded hard when recording." I think it came out well, so it's hard to pick 'Favorite' among the six songs. All the songs are good. I want people to listen to our songs a lot, and I want us to pop the chart 'PopPopPop' with a smile.
NCT Wish's second mini-album 'PopPopPop' will be released on various music sites at 6 p.m. on April 14, and will also be released as an album on the same day.
