NCT Dream wraps up EPIC fourth solo concert; launches NEW album 'Go Back To The Future'
NCT Dream 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.

"Cutting through the chaos -- thriller. Look close, look close, closely, I'm that stunner." In "BTTF," the K-pop stars appear to be hosting a meeting before before flying skateboards crash through the windows. The video shows them "tunneling through time."

NCT Dream presents cheeky time travel story with ‘Go Back To the Future'
Boy band drops 5th LP ahead of its 9th debut anniversary NCT Dream has returned with its fifth LP "Go Back To The Future," a cinematic project that explores time travel and reflects on the group's history. Members embark on a journey to find their 'brightest selves,' traveling through the past, present and future in a search for identity and growth. It features two main tracks—"BTTF" and "Chiller" — along with seven B-sides. "BTTF" captures the story of NCT Dream gaining the power to change the future by traveling through time. The track's dynamic structure and signature synth bass evoke the mood of a sci-fi film. 'All the moments in our past are what made us who we are now, so we ultimately decided not to change anything,' said Renjun at a press conference in Seoul on Monday. 'The line 'I'm the future' keeps repeating throughout the song, and that's the core message we want to share with our fans.' Jisung emphasized the intensity of "BTTF" performance, describing it as a high-energy hip-hop dance track in the signature SMP style. 'It's so powerful that it felt like we weren't just singing, but literally shouting into the mic while recording.' The other main track, "Chiller," has experimental synths and unexpected transitions. According to Chenle, the song is a continuation of "BTTF," but with a more light-hearted twist. 'It's about embracing who you are and enjoying it to the fullest. It's witty and playful, which suits our personalities well.' While "BTTF" features intense and physically demanding choreography, "Chiller" offers a laid-back, confident contrast. ''BTTF' might be the most exhausting choreography I've ever done, but that's what makes it so fun to watch,' said Jisung. Jeno added, 'The dance for 'Chiller' has a funky hip-hop vibe with unique and clever moves.' A central item in the music video is the hoverboard, which symbolizes dreams. 'The hoverboard is like a portal. It lets us revisit forgotten memories and move forward. It represents our dreams and the journey they take us on,' explained Renjun. The music video also pays homage to the iconic film "Back to the Future" and even features the members wearing outfits from their debut days, staying true to the time travel concept. Ahead of the album's release, NCT Dream held its fourth solo concert, "The Dream Show 4: Dream The Future," at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul from Thursday to Saturday, where they premiered the new songs. 'The show opened with a cinematic VCR and kicked off with 'BTTF.' It was structured to reflect our past, present and future,' said Mark. Looking ahead to the ninth anniversary of its debut in August, Haechan teased more surprises. 'We may be nine years in, but our energy feels like we've only debuted nine days ago. And I'll just say something fun is coming later this year.'

NCT DREAM's New Album Is Basically a Time Machine for Your Feels_This Comeback Is the Ultimate 'First Love' Throwback
Get Ready to Travel Through Time (and Your Emotions) Okay, K-pop fam-brace yourselves. is back, and this time, they're not just dropping bops-they're literally taking us on a journey through time. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Their 5th full album, 'Go Back To The Future', is set to release on July 14, and honestly, it's the kind of concept that makes you wish you had a DeLorean parked outside your PG. This album isn't just about catchy tunes; it's about chasing the brightest, most authentic version of yourself, all while navigating the wild ride of first love and nostalgia. The album packs in nine tracks, including the double title tracks 'BTTF' (Back To The Future) and 'CHILLER'. Think of it as your playlist for those late-night hostel chats about "what ifs" and "remember whens"-except with way better hair and choreography. The Tracks: Funky Guitars, Dreamy Vibes, and a Whole Lotta Feels Let's talk highlights. 'I LIKE IT' is a dance-pop banger with electric guitar vibes that'll have you air-guitaring in your room. The lyrics? Pure youth drama-imagine meeting another version of yourself while time-traveling and just going full-on YOLO into the unknown. It's the kind of energy you need when you're about to DM your crush for the first time. Then there's 'Interlude: Back to Our Paradise', which is all about that dreamy, almost trippy soundscape. The chorus is lush, and the lyrics hit hard if you've ever wanted to revisit old memories to find someone you loved. It's basically the K-drama OST for your own "first love" flashbacks-no matter if that was in school, college, or just last semester. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now And because this is NCT DREAM, the visuals are next level. Their 'I AM THE FUTURE' concept images have already dropped, blending throwbacks to their earlier eras with their current, more mature vibe. It's like seeing your school friend glow up on Insta-nostalgic, but also a little bit intimidating. The 'First Love Series' Returns-And It's Relatable AF This comeback isn't just another album drop; it's the start of a new 'First Love Series' for NCT DREAM. If you've ever had butterflies, heartbreak, or that one friend-zoned crush you still stalk on social media, this is your soundtrack. The group is promising a story that unfolds in their own "paradise"-basically, all those moments you wish you could relive, but with better lighting and a killer soundtrack. And for those who want to catch them live (and maybe cry a little in the crowd), NCT DREAM is kicking off their fourth tour at Seoul's Gocheok Sky Dome from July 10 to 12. Imagine the energy-thousands of fans, glow sticks everywhere, and everyone collectively losing it when the first notes drop. If only our college fests had this kind of production value! Why This Hits Different for Us There's something universal about wanting to go back-whether it's to fix a mistake, relive a memory, or just see your younger self one more time. NCT DREAM's new album taps into that feeling, mixing it with the rush of first love and the thrill of chasing your dreams. It's the same nostalgia you get when you hear an old Bollywood song or scroll through your school WhatsApp group-equal parts cringe and heartwarming. And let's be real: in a world where adulting is getting harder and the future feels like a giant question mark, a little time-travel fantasy is exactly what we need. This is your reminder to set your alarms for July 14, queue up the album, and maybe text that old friend you've been thinking about. Who knows? Maybe your own 'first love' story isn't over yet.

I Tried All The "Back To The Future" Food At Universal Studios
Hello, friends, I'm Crystal, and I'm a big fan of Back to the Future, as well as trying wild, interesting, and new foods at theme parks. So, when I found out Universal Studios Hollywood currently has an entire menu of Back to the Future-themed food, I is heavy! Now, some of the BTTF food was actually introduced during Universal's Fan Fest Nights. But the good news for anyone who couldn't make it to that limited event is that it's still available (with some NEW additions) as part of Universal's Mega Movie Summer! Mega Movie Summer is basically Universal's celebration of some of their biggest properties, like Back to the Future, as well as Jurassic World, How to Train Your Dragon, Wicked, and also Jaws, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary! The celebration is going on now and continues daily through Sunday, August 10, and is all included in the regular price of admission. (It is NOT a separate ticket/event!) Here's a look at the entire Back to the Future menu, which is available at Mel's Diner in the park: Note: Some of the items on the menu are the "normal" Mel's Diner fare, so if you're looking for a regular ol' chili dog, they've got that, too! Here's what I thought... Flux Capacitor Patty Melt Things started off really strong with the patty melt. I've never met a patty melt I didn't like, and this one is no exception. Do not be fooled by my unimpressive photo above! All the grilled aspects — the buttery bread, the onions, and the patty itself — were perfectly cooked. And I have to give them props for "branding" the top of the bun with a little Flux Capacitor logo, even if it was a LITTLE tough to make out, lol. I appreciate fun decorative details! 9.5/10 Doc Brown's Chicken Pot Pie I'm actually really torn between this and the patty melt being my favorite dish. First of all, I love that it's kind of a joke/nod to the "Doc Brown's Chicken" restaurant that used to exist at Universal Studios. (Why would Doc Brown have a chicken restaurant?! The world may never know.) Next, the cheesy crumbles on top of the pot pie were a deliciously savory surprise, plus I loved that it was in the form of a radioactive/plutonium logo (more fun details!). Finally, the chicken pot pie itself was perfect. It had a nice, flaky, buttery top, succulent chicken, and savory fillings. What's not to like?! If I have one tiny complaint, it's that this dish is a little small for the price (considering it's almost the same price as the melts, which come with fries on the side). So, this probably isn't the best bang for your buck. BUT, if you love a good pot pie, this one is worth it. 9/10 Time Machine Pastrami Melt Unsurprisingly, the pastrami melt was also super yummy. It had all the right elements — juicy pastrami meat, crunchy slaw, tangy Swiss cheese, and perfectly grilled bread. But if I had to pick between the melts, I'd go with the patty one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Much like the other details, the cute "88 mph" toothpick it came with was a fun touch! 8/10 Flux Capacitor (Drink) This entertaining drink (which is non-alcoholic) comes with Sprite, passionfruit, and blue Curaçao syrup, and is very refreshing! But the REAL winner is the fact that it's served with dry ice, which makes it look like something Doc Brown would concoct in his lab. 7/10Note: There's also a "Wake Up Juice" cocktail on the menu, but because I'm not currently drinking alcohol, I didn't try it. But it looks great also (and, of course, LOVE the name)! FYI, this one makes for a great video! Time Traveler's Milk Shake This milkshake was...A LOT. Like, it's super sweet. Despite the cute blue coloring, I was surprised the flavor was simply vanilla, but specifically like vanilla cupcake frosting flavor. So, if that's your jam, you will LOVE this. But, if you're not really into sweets, I'd prob give this a skip! 6/10 Finally, the Outatime Cookie As far as cookies go, this isn't the GREATEST cookie I've ever had. It's basically a hard sugar cookie, and the frosting doesn't have a particular taste-wise, not exactly noteworthy. BUT, let's be real, if you're getting this cookie, it's because it looks cool AF. And I reallllly love the design. 8/10 As I mentioned, this special Back to the Future menu is available at Universal Studios Hollywood as part of their Mega Movie Summer! And, FYI, if BTTF isn't your ~thing~, there's also fun food themed around Jaws, Jurassic World, and How to Train Your Dragon available throughout the park. Oh, and be SURE to get a pic with the iconic GIANT SHARK from Jaws that's been reintroduced to the theme park for Mega Movie Summer! (Maybe you remember it from your childhood?!). Obsessed. And if you're lucky, you might get a chance to meet Captain Quint and Chief Brody, who are making their theme park debut! Universal Mega Movie Summer is going on NOW through Sunday, August 10, and you can get your tickets at
