The girls were chosen in the JTBC's 2023 survival show R U NEXT?   "Magnetic" is the lead single of their first mini album,  Super Real Me. "Magnetic" Review "Magnetic" is a cute song that fits the group to a T and the chorus is super catchy. I have to say that I didn't like the "bae bae bae" part at 0:56 . But I think it will end up growing on me. I really liked the verse sung by Iroha at 0:14  and the pre-chorus at 0:32  and 1:25 .  The choreography is cute and fits the song very well, although it reminds me a bit of NewJeans, probably because it's very youthful(?. I think the butt shake after the first chorus looks bad in the MV, but the live version looks normal. I really liked the MV, but the best part is everything that

Photo source: SM Ent. NCT Wish is a Jpop boy group and the newest - and allegedly last - sub-unit from SM's massive boy group NCT. This sub-unit debuted on February 28, 2024, with their single also called "Wish" (which has a Japanese and Korean version) and consists of 6 members: Sion, Riku, Yushi, Jae Hee, Ryo and Sakuya. Although NCT Wish is a Jpop band, I will be reviewing the Korean version of the song ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. "Wish" Review When I first watched "Wish" MV, I was so mesmerized by the plot and the scenery of the video that when it ended I realized I hadn't been paying attention to the song at all.  I like the intro beat of the song a lot, but I'm not a big fan of the "future's in my hands" chant that follows that beat, although I have to say is very NCT sounding.
