Riku recently made his debut with NCT WISH. The unit is said to be NCT‘s last-ever unit, putting an end to the unlimited expansion concept.
It was recently found out that Riku is related to another idol himself. A pre-debut photo of Riku gained attention as fans realized that the girl next to Riku was not just an ordinary woman.
Although she is Riku’s cousin, she is also a member of the popular J-Pop group Morning Musume! Takahashi Ai served as the leader of Morning Musume from 2007 to 2011. She has been active in the industry since 2001.
Looks like beauty and talent runs in the family! Takahashi Ai was also the main vocalist of her group.
