NCT WISH Boy Meets Girl just dropped — and it’s made for summer. On June 22, the group pre-released the music video for BOY MEETS GIRL — and if the melody feels a little nostalgic, that is on purpose. Here is what the song actually is, what the MV is going for, and when the full release lands.
What Is NCT WISH Boy Meets Girl?
BOY MEETS GIRL is a pre-release digital single (and music video) that dropped on June 22, 2026, ahead of NCT WISH’s third Japanese single. It is a remake of the 1994 hit of the same name by the legendary Japanese group TRF — so it carries a warm, retro J-pop heart underneath NCT WISH’s bright, modern sound.
The MV — a summer-vacation diary
The BOY MEETS GIRL video plays like a page torn from a summer-vacation diary. It captures the members’ candid, precious moments, layered with delicate animation and the soft, school-themed mood teased in the lead-up. The result is light, fluttery, and very NCT WISH — that signature bright positivity they are known for.

Why NCT WISH Boy Meets Girl Feels Different
What makes NCT WISH Boy Meets Girl stand apart from their earlier releases is the mood. Their debut single WISH was bright and youthful, but this one leans into carefree summer energy — beach shots, golden-hour lighting, and a chorus that sticks after one listen.
The original TRF version of Boy Meets Girl was a staple of 90s Japanese pop culture. NCT WISH’s remake keeps the DNA but adds modern production and their own vocal color. Fans who grew up with the original will recognize the melody; new listeners will hear it as something entirely fresh.
If you are planning a summer playlist, NCT WISH Boy Meets Girl deserves a spot. It captures the exact feeling of a July afternoon — warm, easygoing, and a little nostalgic.
