NCT Dream’s agency SM Entertainment has also released a cryptic teaser video for ‘Hello Future’. The clip follows the K-pop boyband as they explore Seoul while taking images of different words and letters, which are said to be “hints” about the forthcoming release.
The septet released ‘Hot Sauce’ early last month, alongside a vibrant and whimsical video for the title track of the same name. ‘Hot Sauce’ marked NCT Dream’s first-ever full-length album as well as the long-awaited return of member Mark Lee.
Lee had originally left NCT Dream upon turning 20 in 2018, per the unit’s rotational graduation system. The agency later removed the system in April 2020, opting to have NCT Dream become a fixed group that included all seven original members.
In a later interview, Lee described the bond he has with his fellow NCT Dream groupmates as “pretty intimate”. He also talked about his role as the group’s eldest member and leader, joking that this has also made him an “approachable punching bag for the team”.
Earlier this year, NCT member and leader Taeyong launched his very own SoundCloud account with the song ‘Dark Clouds’. The K-pop idol had composed the song with producer Royal Dive, who had previously worked with Taeyong on his SM Station Season 3 song ‘Long Flight’.
