NCT WISH album tease

NCT WISH is rolling out its first full album, *Ode to Love*, with a release set for April 20 at 6 p.m. Korea Standard Time and a new “Sticky” lyrics video posted on April 12. (youtube.com, youtube.com) The group’s official YouTube channel now carries the album banner “NCT WISH 2026.04.20 6PM (KST),” and the “Sticky” upload is labeled as part of that album campaign. The video description also lists songwriting credits for Shin Sa-gang, Pontus “Oneye” Kalm, Anton “Curly” Nessvi, and Tommy Brown. (youtube.com, youtube.com) South Korean outlets reporting on the comeback said *Ode to Love* is NCT WISH’s first full-length Korean album and will contain 10 tracks. Those reports identified the title track as “Ode to Love,” with “Crush (Yeowu-bi)” and other songs included in the set. (en.fannstar.tf.co.kr, chosun.com) That makes this rollout a step up from the shorter teaser cycles often used for singles or mini-albums. A full album usually signals a larger promotional push, and NCT WISH has been posting multiple pieces of campaign material rather than a single announcement. (en.fannstar.tf.co.kr, youtube.com, youtube.com) The campaign began publicly in late March with an official trailer uploaded on March 29. On April 1, the group followed with a scheduler film titled *WISH Upon A Dream*, laying out the album’s teaser sequence ahead of release week. (youtube.com, youtube.com, nct-wish.fandom.com) By April 12, the official *Ode to Love* playlist on YouTube had expanded into a larger package of album-related clips, showing how the label is spacing out visual teasers, trailers, and track-specific content. The “Sticky” lyrics video fits that pattern by giving fans a song preview without releasing the full album early. (youtube.com, youtube.com) The release timing also places the album in the middle of NCT’s 2026 tenth-anniversary branding, which appears in the “Sticky” video description as “NCT_10TH_ANNIVERSARY.” That ties NCT WISH’s first studio album to a broader label-wide milestone year. (youtube.com) The next marker is fixed: April 20 at 6 p.m. in South Korea, when *Ode to Love* is scheduled to arrive in full after weeks of trailers, scheduler clips, and song teases.
