NCT DREAM has just given fans a sneak peek into their upcoming album with fresh teaser images!

On October 30, NCT DREAM released the "Real City" concept images across their social media channels. The photos show the members looking bold and confident, capturing a more mature vibe as they explore life and enjoy the real world. Fans are buzzing with excitement, eager to see the story NCT DREAM will tell in their fourth full-length album, DREAMSCAPE.

DREAMSCAPE dives into the ups and downs of chasing dreams, even the painful moments that come with the journey.

One standout track on the album, "No Escape," is a pop song with a deep, self-reflective message. The lyrics explore the idea that sometimes escaping from a tough reality feels impossible, like a nightmare you can’t break free from. The song’s sound is intense but minimal, built on distorted 808 beats.

Another song, "Best of Me," has an ‘80s dance-pop feel and looks at the struggle to resist a world that’s tempting but misleading. Member Haechan even helped write the lyrics, bringing an extra layer to its meaning.

Fans can also look forward to “YOU (Forest),” an R&B pop track with emotional lyrics about never giving up on finding “you,” despite facing repeated setbacks. The song’s arpeggiated synth sounds add a unique, evolving feel to it.

NCT DREAM’s DREAMSCAPE will drop on November 11 at 6 p.m. KST across music platforms, with a physical album release on the same day!

BTS member Jimin made history at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the prestigious Visa Fan’s Choice of the Year award.

On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
