[MyDaily = Reporter Kim Ha-young] NCT WISH delivered a faultless live set against a natural backdrop, projecting a crisp, invigorating energy.
NCT WISH (Sion, Riku, Yuushi, Jaehee, Ryo, Sakuya) appeared on Kakao Entertainment’s global K-pop channel 1theK (Wonder K)’s original series Outdoor Recording Studio on the 21st to perform the title track “Ode to Love” from their newly released first full-length album. In the video, the group offered fresh visuals and flawless live vocals in an open outdoor setting with sweeping natural views, filling the frame with a clear, distinctive aura.
The title track, “Ode to Love,” samples the Cranberries’ classic “Ode to My Family,” reworking the original’s signature humming motif into a contemporary, New UK Garage–influenced dance-pop arrangement. NCT WISH layered their sleek, trend-forward sensibility over the song’s wistful nostalgia, delivering a liberating, feel-good energy that underlined their command of refreshing pop.
Outdoor Recording Studio places artists in everyday spaces—buses, restaurants, cafés and supermarkets—so viewers feel as if they’re hearing the live performance in person. By stepping away from standardized studio sets and capturing the open-air atmosphere of wide natural environments, the series amplifies its sense of immediacy. NCT WISH’s performance satisfied both sight and sound and gave fans a rare, freeing moment away from city life.
The members’ sweet, smooth voices merged seamlessly with the genre’s brisk beats, injecting bright, lively energy. Each singer’s distinct, nuanced lines added depth to the song’s narrative, and their clear, unadorned tones—without heavy post-production—confirmed NCT WISH’s solid vocal capabilities. The clarity of the natural setting combined with the group’s buoyant mood to create a strong synergy; fans have praised the clip as an especially soothing, “healing” video.
Producer Wang Seong-hyun, who led the production, said, “The members’ transparent vocal colors and natural gestures synced perfectly with the outdoor backdrop, producing dramatic moments without elaborate staging. This live session lets the song’s refreshing quality come through plainly. Thanks to the members’ positive energy throughout the shoot, even on-site staff felt that fresh atmosphere.”
