The group NCT DREAM shared their thoughts on their comeback.
NCT DREAM (Mark, Renjun, Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, Chenle, Jisung, hereafter NCT DREAM) held a press conference for their 5th studio album 'Go Back To The Future' on the 14th at Lotte Cinema World Tower in Songpa District, Seoul.
The 5th studio album 'Go Back To The Future' is an album that captures NCT DREAM's story of embarking on a time travel journey to find the brightest 'me.' Chenle noted regarding the comeback, 'As we prepare and come back with a lot of excitement, we ask for your great expectations.'
Before the comeback, NCT DREAM set a record for the 'most performances at Gocheok Dome' through their concert there and said, 'We think it's all thanks to the fans who fill the concert venues every time. If those who attended the concert feel that they certainly made the right choice to see the NCT DREAM performance, it brings us great fulfillment. As we began the tour with the new album, we will work hard to show various aspects and present a wonderful appearance worldwide.'
Through the double title tracks ‘BTTF’ (Back to the Future) and ‘CHILLER,’ NCT DREAM delivers their unique message through a flow connected from the past to the present to the future. ‘BTTF’ carries a message of realizing a past without regrets at a crossroads where one can change the past, and moving toward the most radiant future, while ‘CHILLER’ depicts enjoying the present self boldly and cheerfully while navigating the narrative around ‘BTTF.’ The anticipation grows as to what kind of confidence and narrative, built over 9 years, NCT DREAM will showcase as they move into the future with these two title tracks.
Jeno said about ‘Back to the Future,’ 'As the song title suggests, it is a song with the concept of time travel. It clearly represents the core concept of the album. The content itself is about time traveling to find the brightest me, so the performance is intense.' Renjun added, 'All the time from the past has piled up to create today's NCT DREAM. There is a lyric that repeats like a slogan, which encapsulates us shining in the past, present, and future. It is a pledge to the fans and also the message of this album. That is why it feels more meaningful.'
Regarding the other title track ‘CHILLER,’ Chenle explained, 'It is a song that follows ‘Back to the Future.’ It carries a message of enjoying the most radiant version of myself just as I am. The word ‘CHILLER’ itself means to be relaxed, so there are such themes in the lyrics. The lyrics contain many cheerful and witty expressions. I think it suits us well, as we have matured while still retaining a playful side.'
Meanwhile, the 5th studio album 'Go Back To The Future' by NCT DREAM will be released at 6 p.m. on July 14 across various music sites, and will also be available in album format on the same day.
