Here's Why SM Postponed NCT's Physical Album Release

NCT's physical album release for "Resonance Pt. 2" has been postponed, but the reason is actually very simple. 

According to the entertainment agency, a printing error is the reason for the delay. They did not specify exactly what the error is but they announced that those who already got their physical albums may return them to get a refund. They can also wait for the newly-printed ones and exchanged the albums with the errors for it. The company did not say when they will distribute the correct albums but they promised that they are working to do it as quickly as possible. 

"Resonance Pt. 2" is a follow-up to the first part of their second studio album "Resonance Pt. 1" which was released on October 12. There are two singles for the album, "90's Love", which was released on November 23 along with a music video. Another music video for "Work It" will be released on November 27. Aside from the 13 tracks from the first part of the studio album, there are also eight new tracks in "Resonance Pt. 2". 

Meanwhile, Rolling Stone featured "90's Love" as a song you need to know, calling the song both fresh and nostalgic, citing the song's ode to nineties hiphop and R&B. The song is sung by NCT U, the first sub unit of the group which has 23 members in all. The members of NCT U who sang the song are Ten, Winwin, Mark, Jeno, Haechan, Yangyang, and Sungchan. 

But while many fans are happy with the song and the MV, there were also those who expressed their dissatisfaction with the music video. It seems that the complaint is that member Winwin not only did not get many lines from the song, but his screentime in the video is also very short. While they understood that with a big group like NCT, the line distribution would be divided, they argued that the gap between Winwin and fellow member Ten was just too much.  The former only had 1.8% in lines while the latter had as much as 34.3% of the lines in the song.
