NCT U is a unique sub-unit of the South Korean boy band NCT, which is managed by SM Entertainment. Known for its adaptable lineup, NCT U functions on the concept of "united," meaning that the unit can rotate members based on who fits the concept of any given come back or track. This approach sets NCT U apart from traditional K-pop groups that have a fixed roster of members for every song and performance. Debuting in April 2016 with their singles "The 7th Sense" and "Without You," NCT U demonstrated this rotational model by showcasing different vocal and performance talents within NCT's extensive member pool.

Over the years, NCT U has released a diverse array of music collaborating with various NCT members, adding to the intrigue and anticipation of each new release. Their recent projects include tracks like "N.Y.C.T" within the NCT LAB project and "Rain Day," a release under SM STATION. With each song, they continue to display vocal versatility and complex dance performances that cater to various musical styles and concepts. Their contributions to original soundtracks like "The Tale of Nokdu" and "When You're On The Blacklist Of Bullies" showcase the unit's ability to adapt to different genres and narratives, further testifying to their artistic range. As part of the larger NCT umbrella, NCT U not only thrives on flexibility but also encapsulates the essence of innovation and evolution in K-pop.
