On 1st of May, NCT DREAM had their concert in Singapore Stadium full of fans’ screaming and applause. 

NCT DREAM had their world tour, “THE DREAM SHOW 2”, visiting around 22 cities all around the world including Seoul, Nagoya Yokohama, Fukuoka, Osaka, Jakarta  Bangkok, Hong Kong London, Paris, Berlin, Newark, Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, LA, Seattle, Manila, Singapore, Macau, and Kuala Lumpur

The tour started at Seoul on 8th of September, 2022 and ended at Kuala Lumpur on 20th of May, 2023. 

This tour was especially special to NCTzens, the  name of NCT’s fanbase, as this was the first tour with all seven members of NCT DREAM members performing. 

For the last few years, NCTzens were not able to see all members of NCT DREAM performing together; NCT DREAM previously had a graduation system, which members who age more than 20 leaving NCT DREAM, joining other NCT units instead such as NCT U. 

New teenage members were meant to continuously join the group, forming a new NCT DREAM every time, and NCT DREAM has been performing for the last few years with 6 members.

However, with many requests from fans to quit the graduation system and to make them as a fixed unit, SM entertainment finally announced that there will be no change with members for NCT DREAM. 

Fans all over the world were ecstatic to see all 7 members at one stage during the concert. 

On 1st of May, around 5pm, Singapore stadium was already filled with NCTzens.

A long line was already formed for the pending area, and fans were walking around  with their Neon Green coloured light stick. 

As NCT’s symbolic color is neon green, fans wore or put some green on their outfit too. 

Slogans were provided for fans, written in both Korean and English on both sides: ‘영원히 네 곁에 머물 수 있을까?’, which translates to ‘can I stay with you forever?’—a lyric from ‘Graduation’ from NCT DREAM.

After waiting a long time for entry, guards did a security check to prevent any accidents occurring during the concert. 

When the concert started, the stadium was full of fans screaming. 

Huge monitors were located on each side so that people could see the members more closely. 

NCT DREAM members both used Korean and English during the concert, but whenever they spoke Korean, translation was made for people who don’t understand Korean. 

Unfortunately, member Chenle was not able to perform due to his health issue, but another Chinese member Renjun spoke Chinese for Chinese speakers. 

The DREAM SHOW 2 started it’s concert with the song “glitch mode” and so on with Countdown, Stronger, Dreaming, Déjà Vu, My First and Last, Bye My first…, Love Again, Drive, Sorry Heart, Puzzle Piece, Chewing Gum, ANL, Dive Into You, Irreplaceable, Saturday Drip, Quiet Down, Better Than Gold, Diggity, Ridin’, Boom, Hello Future, We Go Up, Trigger the fever, Hot Sauce, Beatbox, My Youth, Walk you home.

Candy was an official last encore song that they ended the concert with. 

Fans sang along with them for the chorus of the song and enjoyed the performance. 

Two songs were played on the monitor instead of NCT DREAM performing, so that they have time to get changed and hydrated. 

After all the songs had ended, gates were re-opened for people to exit, and every measure was taken safely with the security guard.
