EXO and NCT (Neo Culture Technology) are both immensely popular K-pop boy groups under the entertainment label SM Entertainment.

EXO debuted back in 2012, and initially, they had 12 members. But due to personal reasons, Kris, Tao, and Luhan left the group.

Currently, EXO is made up of 9 members. These members are Suho, Xiumin, Lay, Baekhyun, Chen, Chanyeol, D.O., Kai, and Sehun. Some members have enlisted already, which means EXO is currently on hiatus. But every now and then, there are releases from sub-groups. Additionally, members have been focussing on their individual careers for the meantime.

On the other hand, NCT debuted back in 2016. NCT is a unique group due to them having an unlimited amount of members.

Due to their sheer numbers, NCT promotes in different sub-units at times, and their active sub-units as of writing this article are NCT U, NCT 127, NCT Dream, and WayV.

Both of these SM Entertainment groups have garnered a vast amount of popularity, and in recent reports, it seems as though the groups are destined to create a collaboration.
