NCT DREAM will release 'DREAM AFTER DREAM,' a 10-track sixth album led by the disco-funk title track 'Boogie Woogie,' on November 9 at 6 p.m.
A Disco Comeback for a Decade of Dreaming
NCT DREAM is celebrating its 10th debut anniversary with a disco party.
According to SM Entertainment, as reported by The Korea Times, Chosunbiz and STARNEWS, the group's sixth full-length album "DREAM AFTER DREAM" will drop on major streaming platforms at 6 p.m. on November 9, with the physical edition in stores the same day.
The album holds 10 tracks, led by the title song "Boogie Woogie," an up-tempo dance number that pairs the vintage feel of 1970s disco-funk with modern synthesizer sounds, driven by rhythmic percussion and a groovy bassline. Pre-orders are already open through online and offline music retailers.
Jaemin's Lyrics Celebrate the Members' Decade
The lyrics carry the anniversary's emotional weight.
Member Jaemin co-wrote them, and all three outlets describe the same message: celebrating one another for running together over the past 10 years, encouraging listeners to fully enjoy the present moment, thanking each other for making ordinary days special, and expressing the belief that the members will continue to shine as long as they stay together.
The Korea Times notes the group's signature bright, lively sensibility runs through the track.
Gardeners Tease a Story Still Growing
Teaser content released Thursday through the group's official social media channels shows the six members transformed into gardeners, each tending crops in a lush garden in his own way. STARNEWS adds that the free-spirited, cheerful framing sets up anticipation for the new song.
The gardening metaphor — harvesting what a decade planted while seeding what comes next — is a concept fans are already reading as a statement about the group's second decade.
A First Album as a Six-Member Act
The album is the group's first as a six-member lineup of Renjun, Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, Chenle and Jisung. According to The Korea Times, Mark left the group and the agency in April after his exclusive contract expired, making this release a significant first since his departure.
That context sharpens the anniversary stakes: a decade celebration arriving with a changed roster. The group's history is itself a reversal story — it debuted on August 25, 2016 as a teenage unit whose members were originally set to "graduate" upon reaching adulthood, a system SM scrapped in 2020.
Hits like "Hot Sauce" (2021) and "ISTJ" (2023) built the fanbase now weighing this new chapter.
What Comes Next Before November 9
Fans have time to pre-order the physical edition, which hits retailers the same day as the digital release.
The anniversary framing gives the comeback added weight: outlets including Chosunbiz describe "Boogie Woogie" as a disco party thrown for the group's 10th year, and the lyric themes of gratitude and staying together suggest a release designed as both celebration and statement.
