Who are NCT DREAM?
NCT DREAM (엔시티 드림) are a six-member boy group under SM Entertainment: Renjun, Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, Chenle and Jisung. They began with the debut single ‘Chewing Gum’ in August 2016. The Korea Herald reported that the Korean and Chinese music videos went up on 24 August, followed by an M Countdown stage on the 25th and the music-service release on the 27th. Their fandom is called NCTzen.
SM Entertainment said on 20 August 2026 that all six members had renewed their contracts — Haechan in July, the other five in August — on “the deep trust in each other and unwavering affection for the team”. Later that month, on 22 and 23 August, the group held its tenth-anniversary fan meeting The Sweet Dream Hotel in Incheon.
Where to start
The current release is the sixth mini album Beat It Up, out on 17 November 2025. It carries six tracks, two of them — ‘Butterflies’ and ‘Tempo’ — sung by units drawn from the group. The Korea Times reported that it sold about 1.06 million copies by the Sunday after release on Hanteo Chart figures, extending to ten a run of million-selling albums that began with the first full-length album Hot Sauce in 2021.
Four months earlier, on 14 July 2025, the fifth full-length album Go Back To The Future arrived with two title tracks, ‘BTTF’ and ‘Chiller’. The official music videos sit on the SMTOWN channel, and stage films and the group’s own programmes on the NCT DREAM channel. K-Culture Radar links to official uploads rather than rehosting them.
