NCT WISH is preparing to release their first full-length album on April 20, SM Entertainment confirmed following reports from STAR NEWS.

The upcoming studio album marks a significant milestone for NCT's newest unit, representing their first full-length release since their formation. SM Entertainment stated that "NCT WISH is preparing for a comeback with the goal of April 20," confirming the reported timeline.

NCT WISH debuted as part of SM Entertainment's expansion of the NCT brand, bringing fresh energy to the multi-unit group concept that has defined NCT since 2016. Their previous releases have been well-received by fans, building anticipation for what their first comprehensive album will offer.

The April comeback will give NCT WISH the opportunity to showcase their range across a full album format, potentially featuring collaborations with other NCT members and highlighting each member's individual strengths. Details about the album's concept, track list, and promotional schedule have not yet been announced, but fans can expect more information as the release date approaches.

This announcement comes as NCT continues to maintain strong momentum across all its units. The timing positions NCT WISH well for the spring comeback season, when many major K-pop acts typically release new music.

Fans will likely get their first taste of the new material through teasers and preview content in the coming weeks. Given SM Entertainment's typical promotional timeline, concept photos and track previews should begin appearing as early as late March or early April.

The confirmation puts NCT WISH on track for what could be a major breakthrough moment, as first full albums often serve as defining releases for K-pop groups, establishing their artistic identity and long-term direction.
