South Korean agency SM Entertainment has announced the exit of Shotaro and Sungchan from the NCT group. The group, which has multiple sub-groups, saw the debut of both the members in NCT U’s ‘Make A Wish’ and ‘90s Love’ music videos respectively. However, the agency now has released a statement saying that after careful consideration and discussions with the two members, they have decided to end the chapter of Shotaro and Sungchan with NCT. But, the two of them will debut in a K-pop group under the agency.
In a statement released on Wednesday, May 24, SM Entertainment said, “First and foremost, we would like express our sincerest gratitude to all the fans who love and support NCT. Below is our announcement that informs you on the future plans of SUNGCHAN and SHOTARO. As NCT members, SUNGCHAN and SHOTARO have presented wondrous performances.

We express our deepest apologies and appreciation for the fans that have been supporting and eagerly waiting for them to debut as part of a new NCT group.”

We ask for your kind understanding and support for SUNGCHAN and SHOTARO as they begin a new chapter.”
“NCT's newest group will become the final group to be a part of NCT's infinite expansion, so we aim to launch one with a distinctive worldview that is truly representative of a regional identity. In alignment with this, we will be increasing the number of Japanese members, unveiling new members and sharing their debut journey with the fans,” the statement continued.
They concluded, “We will provide full support for not only the NCT members but also for SUNGCHAN and SHOTARO. We ask once again that fans show continuous and unwavering love and support for their future endeavors.”
