SM's rookie group NCT Wish stirred up controversy during a recent live radio broadcast due to their seemingly uninterested attitude.

On April 22, SBS PowerFM's "Escape from the Two O'Clock Cultwo Show" featured Chuu, who recently made her comeback, alongside NCT Wish members.

Chuu’s bright and energetic reactions kept the atmosphere lively, but the NCT Wish members’ contrasting behavior quickly caught attention.

Throughout the broadcast, many of the members kept their eyes on the floor, gave short answers, or spoke in a vague manner, showing little enthusiasm.

During a challenge on the show, only a few members seemed engaged, while the rest appeared almost completely unresponsive. This passive behavior didn’t go unnoticed by listeners.

Fans expressed disappointment, with some commenting, “Other small rookie groups can’t even get on this show, so it makes you think a lot,” “They don’t show any eagerness. I wish I could live this comfortably too,” and “Chuu, a senior, is working hard to react, but they should respond back.”

Others speculated that the group's sudden rise to fame may have made them lack sincerity, saying, “Maybe the popularity came too easily, and they lack sincerity. It seems like they didn’t start from the bottom, debuting with the name ‘NCT’ under a big company, which might be their mistake.”

In the middle of the broadcast, SHINee’s Key made a notable comment, saying, “I’m watching, so do well,” adding a bit of pressure on the young group.

However, some fans defended the group, pointing out that NCT Wish, which is still in its second year and includes foreign members, might just be lacking experience in broadcasting. They suggested that the members are still adjusting and that they will likely improve with time.

Fans are now eagerly waiting to see how NCT Wish grows and changes in the future!
