On April 25, 2025, NCT WISH and TWS appeared together on KBS‘s Music Bank, where NCT WISH secured their second win with the song “Poppop.” However, what caught fans’ attention was the noticeable height difference between the two groups during the winner announcement segment. As the members stood side by side, viewers observed that TWS members appeared significantly taller than their NCT WISH counterparts, sparking discussions on online communities.
According to available data, NCT WISH members have the following heights: Jaehee (180 cm), Sion (179 cm), Riku (176 cm), Yushi (175 cm), and Sakuya (175 cm). Ryo’s height is not publicly disclosed. In contrast, TWS members are reported to be: Dohun (182 cm), Youngjae (181 cm), Shinyu (181 cm), Hanjin (176 cm), Jihoon (177 cm), and Kyungmin (175 cm).
Despite the relatively small numerical differences, fans noted that the visual disparity seemed more pronounced, leading to comments such as “They look like ordinary people next to idols” and “Most of NCT WISH members appear to be the same height as Minju (163 cm).” Some speculated that NCT WISH members might be shorter than their listed heights.
This incident highlights how physical appearances, such as height, can influence public perception and fan discussions in the K-pop industry.
