NCT WISH Releases Fourth Mini‑Album I SPY

The record marks a move toward NEO‑influenced production with a regional tour set to begin in Seoul in January 2027.

Overview

  • The group released the six‑track mini‑album I SPY and the music video for its title song on Monday, Oct. 12, 2026, across major streaming platforms.
  • Members say the project pairs NCT WISH’s bright, youthful sound with more developed NEO‑style production to show a new side of the unit.
  • The closing track, “Like A Dream,” uses a licensed sample of The Carpenters’ “(They Long to Be) Close to You,” and members describe the song as a warm, dreamlike moment.
  • The comeback leans on Y2K styling and a virtual “WISH LAND” concept that ties into the group’s WISH CORE visual motif of wings, stars and glitter.
  • Promotion includes a three‑show comeback fan event that drew about 11,400 fans and a second concert tour, INTO THE WISH: Face Our WISH, kicking off with Seoul shows on Jan. 15–16, 2027, as the group plans wider regional and international dates.
