On the afternoon of Thursday, May 29, 2025, the atmosphere at Lotte Avenue, Kuningan, turned into a sea of neon green love as NCT WISH greeted Indonesian fans at the “NY MUSIC x NCT WISH ‘poppop’ FANSIGN in Jakarta.”
The six rookie members of SM Entertainment’s latest boy group came face-to-face with NCTzens in celebration of their second mini album, poppop.

The event was a heartfelt and laughter-filled gathering between NCT WISH and the fans who had been eagerly awaiting their visit since the group’s official debut in February 2024. More than just autographs and photos, the members also shared their first impressions of Indonesia and exciting plans during their stay.

Their mini album poppop, released in April 2025, served as the backdrop for the event. The title track of the same name delivers a bright, catchy vibe that perfectly matches the fan sign’s mood: energetic, youthful, and full of love.

The event deepened the already strong emotional connection between NCT WISH and their fans. Indonesia became one of the key Southeast Asian countries to be visited directly by the group.
