NCT DREAM brought out the hoverboard that they had been riding on the stage of their debut song 'Chuying Gum' 10 years ago. With the new report 'Go Back to the Future', we begin a time travel that crosses the past, present, and future.

NCT Dream held a meeting of its fifth studio album 'Go Back to the Future' at the Lotte Cinema World Tower Movie Theater in Songpa, Seoul on the 14th, and shared the story of the new report.

It is the first time in about eight months that NCT Dream has made a comeback in the music industry since its fourth full-length album 'Dreamscape' in November last year. This album 'Go Back to the Future' tells the story of a curious eccentric NCT dream who goes on a time journey to find the brightest 'I'.




It depicts various events and emotions experienced across the past, present, and future on a time machine that I accidentally discovered. In particular, the time machine is expressed as a hoverboard by utilizing the hoverboard performance of the debut song 'Chewing Gum'.

Mark is an album with the title song "Double". A total of nine songs were included. It will be held under the theme of time travel. Seven nerds who are looking for me to shine, we accidentally find a time machine. The time machine is a hoverboard. As we talked about the epic restaurant in time, there were many interesting elements. I've prepared an interesting album that time-travels with hobo boards, and Jeno says "We need a medium that time-travels, and that's the hoverboard." I think it can be seen as a key device,' he introduced the report.

The album's double title tracks 'Back to the Future (BTTF)' and 'Chiller'. In 'Back to the Future', through the time travel narrative in which the past, present, and future are combined to form one world, the brightest 'I' means 'I' of all the moments that have been built up so far.




Geno seems to be a song that can reveal the core message of the album. It contains the story of time travelling to find me who shines the most. The performance is also intense, and Renjun said "All the moments in the past have been accumulated, so the dream is completed now, and it contains confidence in what will continue to shine today and in the future." It's an ambition that we want to show our fans, and it's also a key message for this album. It feels like it's more meaningful."

Ji Sung also said "It's SMP style that I haven't seen in a long time. SMP's unique bridge exists, and the performance is very outstanding. When I recorded it, I shouted a lot"Back to the Future" is the song that uses up the most energy. I don't think you'll be bored while watching our performance," he said, explaining the performance of the song.

Another title song 'Chiller' is an impressive song with an experimental sound, synth-specific texture, and unexpected development, showing the confident and pleasant energy of 'Chiller', which 100% enjoys the brightest moments, heralding a new chapter of NCT Dream.




Chenle had a message to enjoy myself shining in "Back to the Future". I tried to capture a young and very painted vibe. The lyrics are also cheerful and witty. "I've matured a lot, but I think we look a lot like our playful self." Jeno pointed out the message, "Chiller performance was made by Mr. Li Jung."

Music videos are also of interest. The music video also received official approval from Universal Studios and Amblin Entertainment, the original company, for the film Back to the Future. By combining elements symbolizing NCT Dream's identity with the core device in the movie, NCT Dream's unique 'Time Travel Universe' was completed.

Above all, the reaction is hot with the scene of an homage to 'Chu Ying-gum'. Jaemin "I tried on the pajama outfit I wore during my debut song to shoot the music video. Styling and beds are also reproduced as they are. Fans liked it because it reminded me of baby DREAM. I wanted to tell you that we are now because I have a baby dream at that time."

NCT Dream, which debuted at an average age of 15.6 in 2016 with the aim of giving dreams and hopes to teenagers and healing to adults, has grown with the interest of global K-pop fans such as 'Chu Ying-Gum', 'Last First Love', 'We Young', and 'We Go Up'. Along with the abolition of the graduation system, Mark's re-joining of the team also experienced growing pains, but since then, he has become a top K-pop boy group with 'taste', 'buffering', 'Beatbox', 'Candy', 'Broken Melody', 'ISTJ', and 'When I Am With You'.

As such, this album has a special meaning as a result of aggregating the past narrative of NCT Dream. Mark has been proud as a narrative restaurant, to the extent that he wondered if there was a team with a narrative that was as delicious as Dream. As NCT Dream is in its 10th year, there was so much to talk about through time travel. Whether it was a hoverboard or pajama costume, there were many iconic things. We prepared while immersed in it because we could capture the mature side of the album in one completed album, while continuing to take positive messages and aspirations to give healing."

In a month, it will be the 9th anniversary of its debut. Ji Sung is grateful to have been with fans for 9 years and to have worked with the members. I am proud to be able to have a concert at Gocheok Dome even though it is the 9th anniversary. In the second half of the year, he said, "I'm busy and I think I'll be able to show a lot of good performances." and Haechan laughed, saying, "We're about to celebrate our 9th anniversary, but our passion is fresh and it's like 9 days after our debut."

I also looked back on the most meaningful time. Jeno said "The first full-length album after Mark's return was "Taste", but I wanted to show a stronger appearance, so I went on a trip. I think my heart is more united when I go back." he recalled the time.

He also defined what kind of team he has grown into. Haechan "I imagined it would be fancy and cool in the 10th year. Of course, it seems to have been achieved a little, but I felt that we were giving more energy and comfort to more people than we thought. I thought this was more valuable than the fancy and cool part. I like it because it seems to have grown in a better direction than I imagined it would be, and Mark said "I had a dream after debuting as a minor, and I want to maintain and achieve my dream in my early days. I want to keep this dream even though the format is different" he replied.

As we just finished the concert, there were also talks about the concert. In particular, NCT Dream performed 12 times at Gocheok Sky Dome, setting a record of being the most performed singer at Gocheok Sky Dome. Jaemin "I think it's thanks to NCTzen (official fandom nickname) who always filled the concert hall. Thank you so much for this hot day. If those who watched the performance felt that 'I was glad to see the dream performance', it would be worthwhile for us. As we started our new album with a tour, we will show you a variety of things."

Finally, regarding the goal of this album, Hae-chan said "I think the first goal is to convey the world view that I prepared ambitiously." Not only us, but also the company prepared to grind our teeth. I hope this passion will be conveyed a lot,' Chenle said. `I want to do activities without regret rather than grades. We seek to work hard so that we don't have any regrets about our previous activities."

NCT Dream's 5th full-length album 'Go Back to the Future' will be released on various music sites at 6 p.m. on July 14, and will also be released as an album on the same day.
