NCT Dream wraps up EPIC fourth solo concert; launches NEW album 'Go Back To The Future'
wrapped up their fourth solo concert series "The Dream Show 4: Dream The Future" at Seoul's Gocheok Sky Dome from July 10-12 with three sold-out nights, 60,000 fans. The concert coincided perfectly with the release of their fifth full-length album "Go Back To The Future" on July 14.
Time Travel Meets K-pop Spectacle
NCT Dream didn't just perform - they created an entire cinematic experience. The concert featured a time-travel theme that matched their new album's concept, complete with goggle-shaped stage designs and a massive 105m by 18m LED screen. To put that in perspective, that's bigger than a cricket field!
The group premiered their double title tracks "BTTF (Back to the Future)" and "CHILLER" for the first time, giving fans an exclusive preview before the official album release.
The VCR videos showed the members travelling through different time periods, while the venue's ceiling transformed with media facade displays that changed according to each song's mood.
The production team literally turned Gocheok Sky Dome into a futuristic city, creating an immersive experience that had fans feeling like they were part of a time-traveling adventure.
Global Reach Beyond Imagination
What makes this even more impressive is how NCT Dream managed to connect with fans worldwide.
The opening night was live-streamed to over 90 theaters across Japan, Taipei, and Hong Kong. The following nights were broadcast on Beyond Live, Weverse, and Japan's KNTV channel, allowing global fans to experience the magic from their homes.
The group isn't stopping at Seoul either. Their world tour continues with stops in Bangkok (August 16-17), Hong Kong (August 30), Jakarta (September 27-28), Singapore (October 18-19), Taipei (December 6), and Kuala Lumpur (December 13-14).
They're performing at some of Asia's largest venues, including Bangkok's Rajamangala Stadium and Hong Kong's Kai Tak Stadium.
The Emotional Journey of Nine Years
What struck fans most was how the concert celebrated NCT Dream's nine-year journey while looking toward their future. The group debuted in 2016 with "Chewing Gum" and has grown from teenage rookies to stadium-filling superstars. During the concert, they reflected on this journey, telling fans, "We put so much time and effort into preparing this concert, and seeing Sizens (their fandom name) happy made all that time feel worthwhile".
The new album "Go Back To The Future" contains nine tracks that tell the story of curious, quirky characters (the members themselves) who discover a time machine and travel through past, present, and future.

Why does Jin think BTS members have 'changed a lot' after military? Super Tuna singer opens up on new food habits
BTS member Jin is presently touring the United States as part of his RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR. In between his two-day concerts in Anaheim, he took the opportunity to connect with his fans via a Weverse live on July 18. During then, he shared that he recently met up with his fellow BTS members, who are currently in LA. Jin also shared his observations about the changes he noticed in them, particularly with regard to their food habits. Jin feels that the BTS members' food habits have drastically changed after military discharge As per Jin, RM, SUGA, Jimin, V and Jungkook seemed different from their usual selves, since their June 2025 military discharge. The oldest BTS member's observant self didn't miss that his teammates' dietary habits "changed a lot." He said, "They check the calories of the food while eating, like 'how many hundreds of calories is this?'" Comparing their behavior to himself, the Super Tuna singer shared that he stopped checking calorie intake long back and thought it was the same for the other members as well. However, besides being stunned at their transformation, he was delighted as well. Why? Because the BTS members kept savouring all the food items while discussing the calories they contained. "It wasn't like they weren't eating while saying all this; they ate everything as they said it but it was fascinating," Jin mentioned. As hilarious as it sounds, this is what BTS is actually like! Besides being a talented K-pop boy band, they're a lovable bunch of goofballs who have won over the hearts of millions. Jin referred to BTS members as "babies" Jin still has the older brother-like affection towards his fellow teammates, as he habitually called them "our babies" during the livestream. He said, "They seemed healthy mentally and physically. They were having fun while laughing amongst themselves." Fans raved about the group's strong bond, remarking on how their camaraderie remained unchanged despite time apart due to military service and solo endeavors. An X-user commented, "It's so heartwarming to hear Jin talk about his babies. They'll always be his babies."
