Group NCT DREAM (NCT DREAM, affiliated with SME) will make a comeback on the 14th with their 5th full-length album 'Go Back To The Future'. As the excitement for their return is fueled by a sci-fi movie-level story and high-quality content, let's explore the reasons why NCT DREAM's 'time travel' is garnering anticipation.
# The narrative of time travel unfolds through music… 'Go Back To The Future'
NCT DREAM's 5th full-length album 'Go Back To The Future' is a collection reflecting the story of NCT DREAM embarking on a time travel journey to find the most brilliant 'me'. Through the double title tracks 'BTTF' and 'CHILLER', they convey their unique message across the flow connecting past, present, and future. 'BTTF' conveys a message of realizing a regret-free past at a crossroads of choices that could change the past, and moving forward toward the brightest future, while 'CHILLER' depicts delightfully and confidently enjoying the present self, transcending the narrative timeline of 'BTTF'. Fans are keenly anticipating how NCT DREAM will showcase the narrative amassed over the past 9 years and their confidence as they head into the future.
Additionally, this album features a variety of tracks that capture the time travel theme intriguingly, including 'I LIKE IT', which offers the unique energy of NCT DREAM, the cheering song 'DREAM TEAM', the atmospheric shift through dreamy sounds in 'Interlude: Back to Our Paradise', 'My Shower (Bout You)' which portrays a decisive encounter that colors the heart transparently, 'That Summer' which depicts clumsy memories of first love, 'Miss Me' that tenderly captures the moment of parting, and 'Beautiful Sailing', which expresses a desire to venture into a bigger sea while looking back at their past journey, all filled with fresh yet quintessentially NCT DREAM emotions and messages.
# Completing the NCT DREAM's time travel universe! Seasoni causes deep immersion in the new world view restaurant
For the storytelling of this album, NCT DREAM has built a vast 'time travel' universe, setting the backdrop in the year 2016 for 'Past', 2025 for 'Present', and the distant future for 'Absolute Present'. To execute the homage to the movie 'Back To The Future' with precision, they obtained formal approval for the homage from the original producers Universal Studio and Amblin Entertainment, and combined elements symbolizing NCT DREAM's identity with the movie's key devices, completing their unique 'time travel universe'.
The overall promotion encompassing the full-length album, including music and performances, two music videos, and trailers, further enhances the immersion in the time slip narrative centered around NCT DREAM. The previously released trailer, the 'BTTF' music video, teaser images, and various major content include elements hinting at the album's message, adding an element of interpretative fun and imagination for fans eagerly awaiting the comeback.
Additionally, the SNS promotion that resembles a journey back in time has also attracted attention.

For long-time fans, it became an opportunity to reminisce, while for new fans, it turned into a special content that shared NCT DREAM's time, gaining explosive reactions by dominating real-time trend rankings on SNS.
