The mini-album was first announced on March 19, followed by a steady rollout of teaser content—including concept photos, videos, and a highlight medley—that built anticipation leading up to its release.

‘poppop’ Music Video

The title track, “poppop,” sets the tone with its bubbly, synth-driven sound and upbeat tempo.

The lyrics paint an irresistibly magnetic love, with lines like “Even just meeting your eyes feels sweet / This love is so sweet.”

The track bursts with charm, mirroring the visuals of its playful, candy-filled music video.

The music video was released the same day as the EP and leans into youthful exuberance with pastel-colored backdrops and vibrant springtime aesthetics.

The members sport light, pastel-toned outfits—light blues, soft pinks, mint greens, and yellows—that match the colorful settings while allowing room for individual style through varied silhouettes and details.

Together, every element has crafted a nostalgic, lighthearted vibe that’s fresh with a hint of retro flair.

Exploring Each Track

Along with the title track, each song adds dimension to the EP while maintaining NCT WISH’s breezy charm.

“Melt Inside My Pocket” is a high-energy pop ballad blending emotional sincerity with an upbeat tempo, showcasing the group’s expressive vocals and youthful spirit.

“Design” follows with a sleek, mid-tempo groove featuring minimalist production and smooth, polished delivery.

“1000” injects energy with a driving beat, while “Silly Dance” fully embraces playfulness and encourages listeners to let loose and enjoy the moment.

Closing the album is “Still 3PM.” The track’s energetic tempo and catchy melodies tell a story of a love that is life-altering and unique, seen in poetic lines such as “When we finally give our story a name / We’ll be something special” and “You must be the dream I painted all along.”

The Impact of poppop

Altogether, poppop is a testament to NCT WISH’s identity as a group rooted in positivity, youthful energy, and heartfelt expression.

With this EP, the group has cemented its place in both the J-pop and K-pop landscapes, offering a refreshing and dynamic sound that fans will continue to love.
