NCT DREAM Announces Sixth Full-Length Album 'DREAM AFTER DREAM'

NCT DREAM will release their sixth full-length album DREAM AFTER DREAM on November 9, marking a new chapter for the group as they celebrate their 10th anniversary.

Featuring 10 tracks, including the title track “Boogie Woogie,” which blends vintage disco-funk with a fresh, modern sound, the album will be available on all major streaming platforms worldwide at 6 PM KST, with physical editions arriving the same day. Physical versions of DREAM AFTER DREAM are now available for pre-order through online and offline retailers.

Arriving a decade after their debut, DREAM AFTER DREAM reflects on NCT DREAM’s journey while looking ahead to everything still to come. Rooted in the idea that every dream opens the door to another, the album captures the group's enduring ambition, creative evolution, and determination to keep pushing forward, embracing new possibilities and continuing to grow together.

Since making their debut in August 2016, NCT DREAM has built a musical identity rooted in the experiences of youth, self-discovery, and growing up. From their early hits “Chewing Gum” and “My First and Last” to fan favourites such as “Hot Sauce,” “Hello Future,” “Candy,” “ISTJ,” and “BTTF (Back to the Future),” their music has evolved alongside the members, reflecting their transition from teenagers into adulthood while staying true to the energy and optimism that first defined them.

Over the past decade, NCT DREAM has established itself as one of K-pop’s leading acts, earning major music awards, achieving multiple million-selling albums, and performing on some of the world’s biggest stages. With a global fanbase and a decade of milestones behind them, the group enters its next chapter with the same spirit of vibrant energy and ambition that has driven them from the beginning.

More than a celebration of the past, DREAM AFTER DREAM is a testament to NCT DREAM’s belief that there are always plenty more dreams worth chasing.
