Korean boy group NCT (short for Neo Culture Technology) was introduced by SM Entertainment's founder Lee Soo Man as a group that would be composed of an "unlimited" number of members, who would debut in the form of sub-units within the larger group. NCT currently has 23 members spread across 4 sub-units: NCT U (a rotational group where members change depending on song concept), NCT 127 (the group's Seoul-based unit), NCT Dream (originally set as the teenage sub-unit), and WayV (composed of seven members based in China). Fans are also excited for the debut of sub-unit NCT Hollywood, which will be based in the United States.
With so many members and so many sub-unit possibilities, there is just SO MUCH TO LOVE about this group. Get to know some of the NCT members better and celebrate all the feels that come with young love by adding the following to your watchlist!

1. Method To Hate You (2019)
Where to watch it: Story Lab YouTube Channel
Based on a popular Korean webtoon of the same name, Method To Hate You is a two-episode series centered on Oh Miri (Kim Jee In), a freshman studying animation and manga design. Mild-mannered and considerate, Miri finds herself having to choose between friendship and love when she discovers that Go Eun Tae (Lee Jong Won), the guy she has fallen head over heels for, is her BFF's long-distance boyfriend! NCT's Jaemin takes second-lead syndrome feels to a whole new level in his first lead role as Miri's classmate, Han Dae Gang, who makes it his mission to help her "delete" her love for Eun Tae (and hopefully make her fall for him in the process!).
