In March, Haechan teamed up with his NCT bandmate Mark for the single ‘+82 Pressin”. Earlier this month (August 7), SM Entertainment and NCT WISH took to social media to announce their upcoming third mini-album ‘Color’. The EP is slated to arrive on September 1 at 6pm KST. Prior to announcing ‘Color’, NCT WISH in July announced new ‘Into The Wish’ tour dates. The tour will kick off this November with a pair of shows at the Inspire Arena in Incheon, South Korea, followed by two dates in Ishikawa, Japan. The tour will run through April 2026. Other stops on the tour include Hiroshima, Kagawa, Osaka, Hokkaido, Fukuoka, Aichi, Hong Jong, Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, Macau, Bangkok, and Jakarta.
