NCT WISH lit up Inspire Arena in Incheon’s Yeongjongdo with their debut solo concert, NCT WISH 1st Concert Tour ‘INTO THE WISH: Our WISH’, held from October 31 to November 2. The second night’s show was streamed live to 130 theaters worldwide through Beyond LIVE and Weverse, allowing fans from the U.S., Japan, Germany, Australia, the U.K., and Indonesia to experience the excitement in real time. Due to overwhelming demand, organizers added more seats—including obstructed-view options—but all three shows still sold out, drawing over 24,000 fans. The concert’s record-breaking turnout cemented NCT WISH’s rising global influence and growing reputation as one of K-pop’s brightest next-generation groups.
Six emerging idols transformed Inspire Arena into a dreamlike world under the symbol of a green star. Divided into five thematic chapters, the concert told a story of growth and unity, combining NCT WISH’s neo-pop sound with striking visual storytelling. A massive 22-meter LED screen, kinetic lighting, and a temple-like circular stage created a cinematic backdrop for the group’s imaginative performance. From the opening act INTO THE WISH with “Steady” and “Songbird,” to Wishful Madness featuring Jaehee’s live piano on “Skate” and a snow globe performance of “Wishful Winter,” the show immersed fans in fantasy and emotion while showcasing the group’s musical range.
The emotional third chapter, Our WISH, revisited the group’s pre-debut journey with songs like “We Go!” and “Hands Up,” before reliving their Tokyo Dome debut moment with “WISH.” This section highlighted their growth, teamwork, and heartfelt connection as a group that had worked tirelessly toward this milestone. The energy surged in the following act, Acceleration, featuring “NASA,” “CHOO CHOO,” “Videohood,” and “COLOR”—a burst of synchronized choreography and electrifying stage presence that sent the crowd into a frenzy.
NCT WISH closed their first concert series with a deeply emotional encore that celebrated their bond with fans. The group returned to thunderous chants to perform “WICHU,” “Make You Shine,” and Korean versions of “P.O.V” and “Our Adventures.” During the Epilogue segment, the members thanked their fans and staff, saying, “These three days felt like a dream. Our first concert was deeply meaningful, and we’re grateful to our Sizuni for making it special.” Fans responded with synchronized light events and cheers that filled the arena with warmth. With their Korean debut shows sold out, NCT WISH is now set to take their INTO THE WISH tour across 16 cities in Asia—including Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, and Indonesia—continuing their rise as one of K-pop’s most promising global acts.
