NCT Dream’s 4th full album ‘DREAMSCAPE’ will be available on various music sites on the 11th at 6 p.m. The music video for the title track ‘When I’m With You’ will also be released simultaneously on the SMTOWN YouTube channel.

The title track ‘When I’m With You’ is an electronic pop song based on house music, featuring an addictive chorus. The lyrics express the complex emotions felt when being enchanted by ‘you,’ whom they encounter in ‘DREAMSCAPE,’ and the multifaceted feelings experienced when together.

The album tells a dynamic story of NCT Dream escaping a dark reality to find an ideal dream-like space, unfolding over 11 tracks. Members Mark and Haechan actively participated in the production, adding their unique touch to create a distinctive narrative for NCT Dream.

Below is a Q&A with NCT DREAM about their 4th full album.

Q. This is already your 4th full album. How do you feel about releasing it?

• Mark: I feel so excited! Since many members participated in the work, this album feels very much like NCT DREAM, but with new colors added. I’m really looking forward to the activities.
• Jeno: It’s thrilling because it’s been a while since our last comeback, and it’s amazing and surprising to already be releasing our 4th full album.

Q. What kind of album is the 4th full album? What message do you want to convey?

• Renjun: We illustrated a story like a fairy tale about moving from a dark world to a brighter one. We want to convey the message, “Let’s live in a brighter world!”
• Jaemin: ‘DREAMSCAPE’ is a wonderful album that wraps up a long journey of a year. I hope listening to this album makes many people happy. (laughs)

Q. This album follows the previous ‘DREAM ( ) SCAPE.’ Did you plan for two connected albums from the beginning? How was the preparation process?

• Haechan: Yes, we planned to split it into two albums from the beginning. Although putting everything into one album is great, we thought two connected albums would allow us to tell a richer story. We wanted to showcase different stories and musical colors through the contrasting themes of pain and joy in reality and utopia.
• Jisung: From the initial production meetings, we discussed the idea of connecting the album stories. We have been preparing for this step-by-step since last July, and it finally feels like a project over a year in the making has been completed.

Q. What was your first impression when you heard the title track ‘When I’m With You’?

• Mark: I thought, “This is really catchy!” (laughs) It’s a refreshing and popular song that suits NCT DREAM well, so I was very excited.
• Jaemin: Among the title track candidates, I thought this song fit NCT DREAM perfectly from the start. I figured our fans, NCTzens, would also be waiting for our bright and fresh music.

Q. What charm of NCT DREAM do you plan to showcase with the title track ‘When I’m With You’?

• Chenle: I think we can show a more grown-up version of NCT DREAM. It’s trendier and has a more refined freshness compared to before.
• Jisung: We’ll show a charm that’s not just cute, not just cool, but uniquely NCT DREAM.

Q. What kind of reactions do you hope to receive for the new album?

• Haechan: I hope NCTzens will warmly welcome our refreshing comeback after a long time!
• Jaemin: First, I hope the fans love it and say, “This album is so NCT DREAM.” (laughs)

Q. How would you describe the new album in one word?

• Renjun: Refreshing, like NCT DREAM.
• Jeno: Hope and refreshing DREAM.

Q. You’re nearing the end of your third world tour, ‘The Dream Show 3: DREAM ( ) SCAPE,’ having met fans in 25 regions around the world. What have you learned or felt during this tour?

• Mark: I realize with every tour that our great performances are thanks to the efforts and help of the many staff around us. I also felt once again that it’s only possible because we’re together as members. Above all, I’m grateful to our precious fans who allow us to perform worldwide.
• Chenle: Seeing NCTzens around the world enjoy and be happy with our performances truly resonated with me. I felt that we communicate through music and it made our time on stage even more meaningful and enjoyable.

Q. Your encore concert in Seoul is coming up. What can fans look forward to?

• Jeno: There will be new songs and performances that highlight not only the group as a whole but also each member’s individual charms.
• Jisung: You’ll see an upgraded stage compared to our first show. We’re working hard to improve any shortcomings from the Seoul concert to create an even better performance, so please look forward to it!

Q. Lastly, can you share a message for the fans who are always with NCT DREAM?
