Sungchan and Shotaro to leave NCT to debut again in a new boy group

Article: Sungchan and Shotaro will be leaving NCT and debuting with a new rookie boy group

[+57] Seems like things are on a roll now that Lee Soo Man is gone, sigh..

[+56] People were only looking forward to the Tokyo team because of Sungchan and Shotaro, not for the team itself

[+41] SM spent up all of Sungchan and Shotaro's image by media playing them under NCT. Should've kept them out from the beginning if this was their plan all along... They're basically causing chaos during their golden years...

[+36] Okay, so.. what was the point of having them promote at all??! Once, twice, and then back on the backburner.. Should've just had them join formally, what's with taking them out now? SM, please stop.. what's this talk about a rookie group now? Just give us back Taro and Sungchan. 

[+36] Yeah, maybe this is for the better... hopefully they can shine brighter 🥺

[+35] Will always support you two wherever you are 👏

[+33] At least Sungchan and Shotaro can stand out more in a new group

[+30] Upvote if you want to take down SM with me

[+29] Perhaps this will be better for them than being stuck in a Kwangya concept that's not even going anywhere

[+27] Good work to Sungchan and Shotaro... but this is an employment scam. SM, what's up with you..??

[+25] I'm grateful that SM is supporting Sungchan and Shotaro but what about the songs they participated in with NCT..? Do their parts need to be redistributed for concerts? Or are they going to join these concerts as honorary members? Surely that won't be the case. I know the other members will be able to cover those parts but those parts were special because they belonged to Sungchan and Shotaro. Should've just kept it like WayV and kept them as the Tokyo team 😢

[+15] Well, it's not like they had a lot of promos, so it's understandable as an nctzen but I hope they don't have to feel awkward about mentioning NCT once they debut with another group... They may have left but they were still members at one point... ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ

[+14] All SM has done is let these kids rot in the backburner and are now choosing to stick them in another debut. I highly doubt this is what the kids wanted when they signed their contracts... There's no need for an NCT Tokyo without Sungchan and Shotaro. 

[+14] Well this makes for a legendary employment scam

[+10] Our kids have become victims of employment fraud ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ please report this to the department of labor..

[+10] So NCT is 20 members now? 

[+5] That's kind of messed up, no? I'm not a fan but they're basically taking members out of a group and putting them in a new group...? I get that NCT's kind of different in that they have a rotating door of members but this just feels wrong... SM's going to get a lot of hate for this. 

[+3] That's f*cked up

[+3] So they left Sungchan and Shotaro on the backburner for no reason and are now taking trainees with an 8-year age gap with the 127 Dreams and sticking the NCT label on them ㅎ I just wish them all the best. Surely SM won't be leaving a rookie group on the backburner too? 

[+2] It's unfortunate and I feel bad for all the years they spent on the backburner, but this piece of news also gives me hope in that we've finally reached an end to the infinite additions to NCT as a group. The members and their fans will now be able to focus on one another...

[+2] SM, please go bankrupt

[+1] This is an employment scam...

[+1] SM 💕 you f*cking dogs 🌸🌸🌸 you make me sick 💕💕💕💕💕💕
