NCT DREAM set to drop new album in March, host world tour in May

K-pop icon NCT DREAM is set to return with a new album in March, followed by their highly anticipated concert, “2024 NCT DREAM World Tour — The Dream Show 3,” starting in May in Seoul.

The group’s return comes after an approximate 8 month hiatus since its last release, the chart-topping studio album “ISTJ” in July of last year. The album achieved an extraordinary initial sales figure of 3.65 million copies within the first week of its release, solidifying the group’s status as one of the top-selling acts under

SM Entertainment.

Following the release of its upcoming album, NCT DREAM is also set to embark on an extensive tour across major global cities. Of particular significance is NCT DREAM’s inaugural Japan Dome tour, featuring performances at the Kyocera Dome Osaka, Nagoya Dome and Tokyo Dome.

Following the Japanese leg, the group plans to make stops in Manila, Jakarta, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Singapore. Additionally, they intend to tour South America in August, North America in September and Europe from October to November.

SM expressed high expectations for the upcoming tour, stating, “As we prepare for the third world tour on a scale even more upgraded than the previous one, we anticipate that fans will be able to experience the enhanced status and power of NCT DREAM,” through an official press release.

Comprised of seven talented members — Mark, Renjun, Jeno, Haechan, Chenle, Jaemin, and Jisung — NCT DREAM debuted as a unit group under the NCT umbrella in August 2016. The group’s global appeal was recently underscored by its participation in the American music festival, “Jingle Ball Tour,” in December 2023.
