This unit is based on age as they are all under 20. They debuted on August 25, 2016. Once members turn 20 years old, they ‘graduate’ and move on to a different NCT sub-unit.

In 2020, the group re-organized into a permanent formation with the original seven members, who take part of rotational promotions.
