NCT DREAM have entered a new chapter with the release of DREAM AFTER DREAM, their sixth full-length album. The 10-track project arrived on November 9 through SM Entertainment, marking a major moment in the group’s 10-year journey.
The release also introduces NCT DREAM’s first full-length album since Mark’s departure from NCT in April 2026. The group now continues with six members: Renjun, Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, Chenle and Jisung.
The album reflects on the experiences the members have shared since their debut in August 2016. Its title points towards the idea of continuing to dream, even after reaching important milestones.
Rather than simply looking back, NCT DREAM use the project to express their desire to keep growing. The album also gives fans an opportunity to hear how the group is approaching its next phase together.
The lead single, “Boogie Woogie,” sets the tone with an upbeat dance sound. It combines the energy of 1970s disco funk with modern synthesizers. The result brings a familiar dance-floor feeling into a contemporary K-pop production.
Jaemin also contributed to the song’s lyrics. Its message centres on appreciating the people who have shared the journey and celebrating the everyday moments that make life meaningful.
The album runs for approximately 34 minutes and features 10 songs. It follows the group’s previous full-length album, ISTJ, released in 2023, alongside several subsequent EP releases.
NCT DREAM will also bring the new music to the stage. Their album showcase, The Harvest Day – DREAM AFTER DREAM, is scheduled for November 12 at Cube Convention Center in Seoul. The event will begin at 8 p.m. Korean Standard Time, with “Boogie Woogie” among the songs expected to feature.
For a group that has spent a decade building its identity around youth, friendship and personal growth, DREAM AFTER DREAM arrives at an important turning point. It celebrates the history shared by its members while introducing the next stage of their musical journey.
