NCT DREAM

I think a main concern about 7 Dream was each member maybe not getting a decent part. In general, SM tends to give Mark a ton of lines (specifically rap), and in the process gives less lines to other members. So I hope it doesn’t happen with Dream.

i am excited for dream’s new album! the aesthetic is giving me red velvet vibes so i’m hoping for a fun summer bop for the title track. i’ve been watching dream content finally and i love renjun and haechan lmao i hope they thrive here!!

I need to be allocated a word limit when it comes to discussing Dream. I AM SO EXCITED FOR THEIR FIRST ALBUM!!!

The boys also seem super excited and in their vlive today Renjun even said he can't believe they are actually doing a full album and it feels weird. They must have been so stressed pre-Ridin'. I went to the Dream Tour/Show where they were sobbing about the fact they would be either disbanded or nearly all would have graduated by the next year. I mean what was SM's goal with them??? (rhetorical question as I assume they had no plan and were winging it). Jeno, Jaemin and Jisung don't fit in to the already bloated 127 line-up, and Renjun and Chenle are the complete opposite of the WayV members.

SM actually seems to have put some budget into the Hot Sauce promos so I really hope it is a banger. Also I look forward to the totally chaotic content as those boys behave like animals.

Renjun and chenle don't fit visually or conceptually with wayv at all. Wayv has a more nature vibe while renjun and chenle clearly still have that dream vibe. But I do wonder how dream will age up their image as the members age too. So I'm interested in how they handle this full album concept

Bless Renjun, he is the sweetest little thing in the whole world, but I crack up laughing whenever he is stood next to Lucas, especially as they are only a year apart in age but Lucas looks about 5+ years older.

I think Ridin' was probably SM's experimental stage in giving them a more "mature" look but it was still kind of childish at the same time? Then for NCT 2020 they still looked like babies. But since the start of 2021 some of them looks as if 2nd puberty has hit them, Jeno especially, so we'll see what happens with Hot Sauce...

[goldie3]

I think lucas had joked about being in dream, and i was like lmaoo not only does he tower over all of them, he also looks about 5+ years older than them despite being of similar age

[goldie3]

Icb sm just gave dream a full album? Their eps hace been doing well for a while, their songs do well digitally comparatively, and their sales have been going up. The kids are popular.

Their concept for the album, the way they are rolling out the promos seems really Innovative and interesting.

[darklitplanet]

the preorders are really high, right? if the quality is there this album will be huge i think but we’ll see!

[goldie3]

Last i remember seeing on twitter, they had crossed 200k, and the release is still 3 weeks away. And not to mention, their chinese bars haven't placed their orders, they usually do in the last few days before release. i won't be surprised if they cross 1M or at least get really close. Renjun is really popular in china, and haechan jaemin are very popular in korea

[miwa201]

jaemin is also very popular in china, last time during reload jaemin bar and renjun bar had a bit of a competition with sales (obviously renjun bar won but jaemin bar wasn't that behind)

[miwa201]

i don't know what to think about the nct dream teasers, i'm a bit worried they'll have one of those experimental songs like 127. ridin was ok but deja vu was kinda terrible and tbh i still don't get why they brought mark back (i mean i technically get it, it was a technicality in order to justify why 00line didn't graduate but i don't think he's particularly necessary in the group). imo i think they should have just had haechan graduate and kept dream as a 5 member group. not bc i dislike haechan, but bc it feels like dream is his side job
