Opinion
I was rather curious about this group as I already really enjoyed NCT and NCT U and I’m extremely curious about their songs. I love the visuals and the song a lot, it’s fully in Chinese and has the quality of many of the KPOP songs. It’s a good introduction to what these young men will bring out for the rest of their career. If neither of them will return to their other units at times I’d be a bit upset but you can’t say I won’t keep following WayV.
