NCT DREAM have swept domestic and international charts with their sixth studio album DREAM AFTER DREAM, topping music platforms in Korea and China upon its release yesterday.

DREAM AFTER DREAM was first announced in October and officially released on November 9, 2026. It consists of 10 new songs: title track “Boogie Woogie,” “The Sun,” “Dream After Dream,” “Skydive,” “Pressure,” “Watch U Watch Me,” “Cool for Me,” “Tumbler,” “Smile for U,” and “This Is Your World.”

The album debuted at number one on multiple daily charts, including the Hanteo Chart and Circle Retail Album Chart, displaying strong physical and digital sales figures. Domestically, its first-day sales total to over 665,000 copies. 1970s-inspired disco-funk track “Boogie Woogie,” leading DREAM AFTER DREAM, also landed at number one on the Bugs real-time chart.

Overseas, the album has topped multiple categories of QQ Music’s digital album sales chart in China, and has already achieved “Triple Gold Album” status with over 750,000 Chinese yuan in sales. Every song on the album charted on another of China’s major platforms, Tencent Music, “Boogie Woogie” at number one on their K-pop chart.

DREAM AFTER DREAM has been positioned as a celebratory album, commemorating NCT DREAM’s 10th anniversary. They debuted in August 2016, and over the years have shifted between bolder, vibrant releases like Hot Sauce and ISTJ and deeper, introspective albums such as DREAM()SCAPE and DREAMSCAPE. With a bright, fluffy cover and commemorative value, DREAM AFTER DREAM is a combination of the two, acting as a compilation of the group’s varied sounds.

Additionally, it acts as a celebration of a promise made by the six members of NCT DREAM, who have each re-signed with SM Entertainment to extend their group activities into the future. The album’s name emphasises the “ENDLESS DREAM” held by the members as both a collective and as individuals, representing their drive to achieve those dreams under the NCT DREAM name in reflection of their re-signing. The positive reception of DREAM AFTER DREAM, in turn, reflects fans’ resulting enthusiasm to support NCT DREAM as a permanent six-piece; they are set for an upward trajectory, both domestically and internationally.

DREAM AFTER DREAM is available on global streaming services, and the vibrant, festival-inspired music video for “Boogie Woogie” is live on NCT DREAM’s YouTube channel.
