I’m writing this story from my hotel room in Seoul and I can tell you that if you’re a full-time K-pop fan , Seoul is as vibrant and lively as you imagine it to be. Chuck in an opportunity to see six handsome K-pop idols up close in the flesh—it was the ideal itinerary!
They might not be as well known to non-K-pop fans as BTS or BLACKPINK , but that’s set to change. NCT Dream boasts nearly 14 million followers on Instagram, and have recently kicked off a world tour that will see them play arena shows for the first time in Europe, US, and Latin America.
So along with media from around the world, I went to the centre of K-pop fandom — and lived to tell the tale.
Perhaps the most fascinating thing about NCT DREAM that separates them from their industry peers is that the boys operate on a ‘graduation system’ akin to that of high school. Once a member turns 19 years old, they finish up their time in the group and rise up the ranks to join their seniors.
… that’s how things should’ve been in theory, anyway! Due to each member’s popularity, SM Entertainment abolished the graduation system and made all the boys permanent members. For example, fellow singer Mark left NCT DREAM in 2018 but rejoined the group in 2020. Talk about being a dream team. 🎉
If you’re just getting into their music, I highly recommend Candy . Look how dreamy these boys are.
Here, I can confirm that Korean celebrities are just as stunning in person as they are in photos and videos online. Style? Immaculate! Disposition? Professional! Face card? Never declines!
The format is as follows: group slogan + “annyeonghaseyo” (“hello” in Korean) + group name + “-imnida”, a suffix used to express formality. This is often synchronised.
