NCT's upcoming new Tokyo team, currently known simply by the name NCT NEW TEAM, will drop their pre-debut Japanese single album 'Hands Up' this weekend on October 8 at 12 AM KST. 

The six members of NCT NEW TEAM including Sion, Riku, Yushi, Daeyoung, Ryo, and Sakuya were previously selected through the survival program 'NCT Universe: LASTART'. Soon after being chosen as the new debut team members, the six boys made their public appearance as an official team for the first time during NCT's concert 'NCT Nation : To The World' in Japan, unveiling the powerful performance to their pre-debut song "Hands Up". 

Now, the new unit will be releasing "Hands Up" as a part of a pre-debut single album prior to their official debut. The single album features the fast-paced dance track "Hands Up" plus a b-side track, "We Go!", a refreshing and feel-good vocal number. 

Meanwhile, NCT NEW TEAM's official launch is slated for some time in 2024.
