International K-pop group NCT has been making waves with their unique rotational concept since 2016. April 9 marks six years since the first NCT unit, NCT U, debuted with the double digital single “Without You” and “The 7th Sense.” From the original six members to over 20 members from China, North America, Japan, and beyond, the global group has experienced enormous growth since their debut. To celebrate six years of Neo Culture Technology, here are six of EnVi’s favorite fan-made merchandise across the eras! 

NCT U Pinback Button Badges – DimensionCreative

These handmade pins pay homage to NCT U from their debut track, “The 7th Sense,” to NCT 2018 Empathy and NCT 2020 Resonance. Perfect for bags, jackets, or lanyards, the colorful designs reference iconic scenes and lyrics from songs such as “Yestoday,” “Make A Wish,” and “Work It.” NCTzens, NCT’s fans, can buy a set of eight pins, or choose from their favorite options. Prices start at 2.00 USD, with shipping from the United States.

“Timeless” Enamel Pin – SmellyCatsu

An accessory as evergreen as the song itself, this pin depicts Taeil, Doyoung, and Jaehyun in the 2018 “Timeless” live video.

The handmade enamel pin is great for pinboards or accessorizing, and comes in two quality grades, starting from 10.80 USD with international shipping from Indonesia.
