intro
There’s no need for explanation at MEN’S NON-NO when it comes to a variety of personalities and talents, as well as appeal in terms of performance and fashion. We’re talking about the multinational boy group… NCT! As a closeup into “NCT”, which has a large collective of 23 members thus far who are also actively part of several other sub-units, “NCT 127”, which has graced the cover of the April special issue of MEN’S NON-NO, has been featured in two series spanning from the summer of 2020 to the spring of 2021. And now, in response to the many enthusiastic requests for “we want to see this unit next!” and in celebration of the release of their repackage album, “Hello Future,” the unstoppable “NCT DREAM” has landed on MEN’S NON-NO’s website! In the seventh month of July, the seven members will appear individually in a mini-series on the site for each of seven days, presenting their various short diaries on different topics, as well as answers to seven questions from MEN’S NON-NO. Come enjoy their messages like a summer greeting card alongside their music, and chill this summer for the best time ever!
☆Just as summer vacation flashes by in an instant, we’ve reached the finale of NCT DREAM’s fun-filled, one-week article series. We are honored to have JISUNG, the youngest member of the group, close the series out for us. His message from last year when appearing in MEN’S NON-NO, “I’ll be an adult soon!” is still fresh in our minds! Find out what type of summer he wants to spend as he continues to mature…
NCT DREAM “Hello Future”
”As you get older, how do you want to enjoy summer each year?”
I was really scared of bugs when I was little.
Even if I ran away because I was scared, I would always get stung and had painful experiences.
But I’m not that scared of bugs anymore.
I’m going to continue to grow up and likely wage a brave battle against the bugs.
JISUNG
What do you find most rewarding when it comes to this repackage album?
This is our first repackage album as NCT Dream. To be able to release the album itself is so rewarding
Please tell us what the best song in the album is for you personally, the reason why, and the listening points to keep an ear for?
That would be “Countdown (3, 2, 1)”. It’s rather up-tempo song, so it’s perfect when you want to pump up the volume! Please listen to it when you’re working out~!
What is your favorite outfit from all the activity revolving around the repackage album? Please share an outfit each from what you wore, as well as what the other members wore.
For me:The tattoo stickers we applied for the hippie style. It was a first for me, and I thought it was so adorable!
For the other members: JENO’s beret was awesome!
What is the latest fashion style(s) you want to make your own this summer?
It’s a staple, but white T-shirt and jeans or black jeans!!
If you had the opportunity to enjoy summer in Japan, what would you like to do?
Eat a lot of delicious food and go up the Tokyo Tower! While also watching the nightscape!
What is most essential for you to fully enjoy the summer?
Cold and yummy food, as well as the wind.
Please introduce the one music video of all the NCT DREAM songs that you feel the MENS NON-NO readers should not miss out on!

NCT DREAM’s first full-length album, “Hot Sauce” (released in May 2021), sold a million copies within a week of its release and is now a double million seller. As its repackage album, “Hello Future” has dropped with even more power. The album is filled with the significant depth of how the seven members drive into action, combine their feelings into one, and eventuate their skills, which have been brushed up in both ability and experience as they have gradually matured from the so-called “youth generation”. You can feel their commitment to the music as they bring in global hit makers, while also writing their own rap lyrics, etc. Including the title song with a hip hop trap beat that harmonizes with powerful synth sounds and moody hooks, the 13-song album is certain to be on heavy rotation this summer.

In Japan, the album ranked No. 1 in Oricon Weekly Album Ranking (as of May 31), No. 1 in Nikkan Album Ranking (in May), and No. 1 in Billboard Japan Top Albums Sales.
