WayV Deep Dive: What Counts As K-pop?

WayV is one of four subunits of the enormous group that is NCT (NCT Dream, NCT 127, NCT Wish, and WayV), specifically, their Chinese one. They’re in a bit of a complicated spot, since they’re technically both a Mandopop band and a K-pop band, but for our purposes, they’re k-pop. They’re considered 4th generation, as they debuted in 2019, with seven members: Kun, YangYang, WinWin, Ten, Hendery, Xiaojun, and Lucas, the last of which left the group in 2021.

Here are my credentials: So, I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with NCT, if we’re being honest with ourselves here. I’m a big fan of NCT Dream (and considering going to their tour this year), and I hate almost every one of NCT 127’s songs. Sorry in advance. I know some of the members of WayV, Ten and YangYang, from their show on Dive Podcasts, but besides that, I don’t know the members. I have no idea what my opinion of WayV will be, but maybe they’ll help me decide my thoughts on NCT once and for all.

revisiting all of wayv's songs after stepping away for a while is such an Experience... they pull off the epic, intense "opera" vibe like no other

I really want to go through nct's discography but holy cow where do I start I'm thinking 127 dream wish wayv u superm nd thsn the full albums

ok i apologize for the massive fucking wall of text that follows this paragraph but i'm in fact a huge nctzen (i listen to literally every subunit and solo i love them all)

127 is for sure the most popular but wish and wayv might be easier to start with because they have a smaller discography. unfortunately no matter how you slice it it'll take forever to get though because all the groups keep releasing banger after banger so try some sample songs to see which discographies you vibe with:

nct wish: hands up, wish. they're still in their teenage idoldom and their songs reflect that! very cute, very easy listening, very underrated. their bsides have a similar vibe to their tts and are very 2018 reminiscent. if you like riize, wannaone, or tws this is for you

nct dream: candy, istj, broken melodies, beatbox, smoothie, hot sauce. dream has 2 modes: early dream (cir. 2018-2020) with cutesy teen stuff and later dream (anything recent) that incorporates more 127 experimental sounds and is a little more mature but retains the amazing vocal quality they always had. their bsides range from ballads to heavenly hamonies (please listen to box omg) with a noisier song every once in a while. if you like seventeen, shinee, or stray kids this is for you

wayv: moonwalk, phantom, give me that. any given wayv tt is a good one so you'll never go wrong. melodic and life-changing, with harmonies to die for. generally a more mature vibe, and they can include noise really well. the raps lean into a darker heavier tone. their bsides range from melodic to club bangers, but each bside goes really well with the album. if you like exo, tvxq, taemin, or monsta x this is for you

nct 127: cherry bomb, fact check, fire truck, 2 baddies, kick it, superhuman, ay-yo, walk, simon says, sticker. very experimental, very fun. club music loves 127. their bsides tend to be a little softer? slower? idk how to describe it but they're usually showing off more of their vocal capabilities, so the tt isn't usually the same vibe as to what the rest of the album is. if you like stray kids, ateez, or block b this is for you

nct u: 7th sense, 90's love, make a wish, baggy jeans, baby don't stop, misfit. nct u bsides are usually to show off individual groups and the albums flow together really well, they're produced nicely. kind of a mix of the other ncts so if you like those you'll like nct u.

other: perfume, shalala, off the mask, nightwalker, smoke, little light, each completely different, each album perfect to listen to.

superM (bonus!): tiger inside, jopping. superm bsides all fuck hard and definitely should be listened to in full

i also have a separate list of nct b-side bangers but that can wait lmfao

HOWEVER NCT LOVES THEIR GENRE MIXING SO SOMETIMES THEY DO SONGS OUT OF LEFT FIELD THAT SOUND NOTHING LIKE THE REST OF THEIR STUFF WHICH IS OK BUT SOMETIMES IT'S A JUMP SCARE BASS LINE OR A RANDOM BALLAD
