• NCT Universe: LASTART* was a reality survival show created by SM Entertainment that premiered on July 27, 2023. The show's purpose was to select the final members for NCT's last subunit, NCT New Team, previously referred to as NCT Tokyo.

The name "LASTART" combines "LAST" and "START," signifying the end of NCT's infinite expansion and the beginning of a new team. The show provided a look into SM Entertainment's training process.
The final lineup of NCT New Team consists of seven members:

• Sion
• Yushi
• Riku
• Sakuya
• Daeyoung
• Jungmin
• Ryo

Sion and Yushi were pre-confirmed members, having been introduced as SM Rookies before the show. The remaining members were selected through the competition. Initially, the new unit was planned to have six members, but the show's finale revealed a surprise decision to include seven.

The show featured a panel of judges, with artist directors BoA and Super Junior's Eunhyuk. Other SM Entertainment artists made appearances to mentor and assess the trainees.
