NCT WISH, comeback after 6 months... Mini 4th album 'I SPY' released on October 12

The group NCT WISH has confirmed their comeback with their fourth mini-album, ″I SPY,″ set for October 12 at 6 PM. This album consists of a total of six tracks, including the title track ″I SPY,″ and is their first new release in about six months since their full-length album ″Ode to Love″ released last year. In this new song, NCT WISH delicately expresses the emotions of boys inexperienced in love, previewing a more mature musical color that raises fans’ expectations. Their agency, SM Entertainment, revealed teaser images for ″I SPY″ on their official SNS channels on the 23rd and 24th. Against a calm, monochromatic background, the concept of ″Confused Boy,″ portraying members bewildered by their first encounter with love, was visualized, drawing attention. The members wore white T-shirts and created an intense atmosphere as they appeared deep in thought in front of a bright blue background adorned with star-shaped graphics. Along with this, the group announced the start of their full-scale activities by releasing the ″I SPY″ Trailer Part 2 ″Lover Boy″ video on their official YouTube channel. The video sensually captures the story of boys exploring love using smartphones and colorful cubes. NCT WISH has been actively expanding their global fandom through overseas activities in places like Hong Kong and Japan. In September, they successfully held a fan meeting at AsiaWorld Arena in Hong Kong, and on the 23rd, they met local fans by attending the Rakuten GirlsAward 2026 A/W stage in Tokyo, Japan. Meanwhile, even before the album release, NCT WISH has been intensifying the comeback excitement by conducting various promotions both digitally and offline. They have introduced a new way of communicating with fans by opening the ″WISH LAND″ server on the messenger app Discord, creating a digital world related to the new album. Attention is focused on whether NCT WISH, returning with ″I SPY,″ will continue their consecutive hits and heat up the music scene in 2026 even more.
