The 9 Different Nationalities Of All The NCT Members

They’re truly a global group from all the different places they were born.

Proving they’re a global group, the members of NCT speak many different languages and are more than a few different ethnicities. Based on where they were born and have citizenship, here are the nine nationalities found among the NCT 127, NCT DREAM, and WayV members.
