S.M. Entertainment said Monday it will debut its new K-pop boy band NCT U under a new idol management system this weekend.
Two units of NCT U will make their debuts separately on April 9 and 10.
NCT U, which stands for"Neo Culture Technology," is part of a multi-member band system and the first act under the agency's new idol management system. NCT U is more of a boy band brand, with local units to be based in major cities around the world.
The members of the two NCT U units will be introduced on the band's website and multiple media channels run by the company.
The announcement comes after S.M.'s founder and CEO Lee Soo-man revealed plans in January to create a neo-boy band system with unprecedented flexibility in locality and member selection.
