But the surprises didn’t stop there. The boys showed they know what’s trending in the Philippines by performing the popular Filipino TikTok dance craze, “Daleng Dale.” This sent the crowd wild! It was clear they did their homework and wanted to connect with their Filipino fans in a special way.
NCT WISH also treated fans to some awesome dance covers of songs by their seniors. They put their own fresh spin on NCT Taeyong’s “TAP,” NCT DREAM’s “Smoothie,” and even Girls’ Generation’s sweet hit, “Kissing You.”

As the concert drew to a close, leader Sion shared some heartfelt words during their final speech. He acknowledged that they might still have room to improve, but he promised that NCT WISH would continue to work hard and grow. Their goal? To become an NCT WISH that their beloved Czennies can be truly proud of.
