explaining why wayv isn't apart of the nct brand & how bringing the nct lightstick for their upcoming concert is disrespectful — a well needed thread
to start things off : on the official sm town website , xiaohenyang aren't listed as nct members yet they are listed as wayv members. their website gets updated everyday , so if wayv was a nct unit wouldn't they have been listed as such ?
also want to mention, all the official nct albums from each unit get updated whenever a unit has a comeback. (notice the dream cb that was updated literally a few hours ago !!!) once again please note which unit doesn't make an appearance on this list.
next we have sm's official naver page , once AGAIN look at which 3 aren't listed as members
on the official nct japan twt acc they posted about the beyond live concerts that are happening ! superm , wayv , nct dream & nct 127 are the first 4 shows so far. yet the OFFICIAL NCT account didn't tag superm or wayv despite them having nct members in their groups ... +
+ because even though they have nct members in their groups, it doesn't mean they're a nct sub unit !!!!! which one again reiterates the fact that wayv is not an nct unit !!!! what isn't clicking !!!
all the nct units follow eachother yet none of them follow wayv and wayv doesn't follow anyone. do i need to really explain more ?
(( PROOF : lol just go to their official accounts and click on "following" it's not that hard 
))
))
now we have the infamous nct name tags from last year that conveniently didn't mention any of the wayv members despite a few of them still being listed under the nct brand. sm constantly likes to exclude kuntenwincas whenever they can but claim them when it benefits them !
side note - sm's bitch ass doesn't even have a wayv section on their website. i hate it here
(( PROOF : https://m.smtownandstore.com ))
now the light stick situation: they are literally advertising the WAYV lightstick. they made a whole new lightstick because they want you to know it is DIFFERENT !!! sm constantly tries more and more to remove wayv from the nct branding idk why everyone wants +
+ them to be a nct unit so badly. they only are using the same color / fandom name format because they didn't want to build a new fan base. they assumed it was easier to just to build off the nct one and assume nctzens would just go along with it. not only was this extremely +
+ disrespectful to wayv, but sm is now profiting more off ot21zens delusion of thinking some ot21 exists. they like to sprinkle on here and there "oh yeah wayv is like a nct unit kinda" to keep nctzens coming back but they exclude the members constantly from anything nct related.
they purposely didn't include nct in the name and gave them a whole new name, lightstick, fandom name and so on because they are trying to DISCONNECT wayv from the nct brand. they are not the same group but are emotionally manipulating fans into thinking they're the same +
+ by using the same color / fandom name format for PROFIT !! if you want to support wayv please do but do not use any nct merch because they are not an nct unit & you're basically ignoring xiaohenyangs efforts by using the nct lightstick knowing damn well they aren't nct members.
lastly , here is kun getting agitated because everyone keeps asking about nct. shouldn't his disgusted looking face + expression speak volumes for you ot21zens ??? https://t.co/TS4TRdS1mg
adding onto this thread : the official nct instagram also doesn't even have wayv listed in their bio ... https://twitter.com/smalldery/status/1256268163626397696?s=21 https://twitter.com/smalldery/status/1256268163626397696
also wanted to mention. i support nct as well (yuta is deadass one of my ults) and this thread isn't an open opportunity to hate on nct. i'm just explaining the mistreatment wayv gets and why weishennies constantly have to reiterate that wayv +
+ isn't an nct unit. you can still support them w/o agreeing that they're all one group. the members themselves have nothing to do w/ any of this and any hate should be directed towards sm and sm ONLY !!!! any hate towards the boys themselves is not tolerated here !
i thought this was obvious but clearly some of y'all need the extra explaining ... anyways stan wayv & stan nct. 2 different groups but both deserve your support

// last update // sigh... we all know wayv was SUPPOSED to be a nct unit. we all know what was SUPPOSED to happen. but like usual sm changed their minds last minute and now we are here. i'm telling u that CURRENTLY !!! as of right NOW !! xiaohenyang are not listed +
+ as nct members. they are not treated as such, they were never introduced as actual nct members. just because that was what was SUPPOSED to happen doesn't mean it did happened. please stop living in the past and understand the current information put out there as of rn. +
+ we KNOW they debuted with regular & comeback . we KNOW they were supposed to be "nct china" but those plans on them being a nct china unit literally FELL THROUGH !!! it DIDNT HAPPEN !!!! sm constantly has promised fans things they could not deliver on time and time again, +
+ this is another one of those instances and there will be many more on the future knowing sm. maybe when xiaohenyang get an actual introduction and kuntenwincas get unerased from the nct brand we can reopen this convo but as of rn it is a separate group. don't be a dick +
+ and purposely bring the wrong light stick to try to prove some "point". just be respectful of the members hard work and effort and be there because you actually support wayv not because you support some fantasy of 21 men all being bff's together in some mega group k gn
since this is blowing up again i just wanna say y'all better be donating & signing petitions !!! the fight is not over https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/
update on this part : sm finally added a wayv section. wayv products never have been under the nct section to begin with so i really don't wanna hear no "theReS nO DiFfErEnT SeCtIoN BeCaUsE tHeYrE ThE SAmE uNit" bs https://twitter.com/yeehawyixing/status/1255602236018868228?s=21
since this thread is alive again from the recent news , just wanna add that wayv wasn't even considered nct until recently :( winwin's bubble messages highkey made me sad
