One point that draws a lot of attention within K-pop are the groups that have a large number of members. Although there are those formations that have few members, such as BLACKPINK, with four, or TVXQ!, with just two, it is not difficult to find groups made up of more than seven people.
O NCT, for example, a group formed by SM Entertainment, can be considered one of the biggest boy groups in activity today, with 26 members. Are they: Taeyong, Taeil, Johnny, Yuta, Kun, Doyoung, ten, Jaehyun, WinWin, Jungwoo, Mark, Xiaojun, hendery, Renjun, Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, YangYang, Chenle, Jisung, Zion, Riku, Yushi, Daeyoung, Ryo It is Sakuya.
With so many members, the group normally works throughout the year with sub-units (NCT U, NCT 127, NCT DREAM, NCT DOJAEJUNG, WayV and NCT NEW TEAM), however, at least once a year, SM holds a launch with the participation of all members. NCT’s most recent comeback with almost all members took place in August 2023, with the album “Gonden Age”. Watch!
With this in mind, RECREIO separated 5 groups that have a large number of members for you to get to know. Look!
