Successful applicants may be able to receive the opportunity to train and sign a contract with SM Entertaint, with the end goal of debuting as part of the company’s existing boy group NCT, currently consisting of a total of 23 members.
NCT Dream recently dropped ‘Beatbox’, a repackaged version of their second studio album ‘Glitch Mode’ and to be led by a title track of the same name. ‘Beatbox’ saw the addition of four new tracks to the album’s existing 11.
The upcoming upcoming album arrives nearly two months after the release of ‘Glitch Mode’ in March, which was given four stars in a review by ‘s Rhian Daly. That record had been the follow-up to last June’s ‘Hello Future’, which itself was a repackaged version of their May 2021 debut studio album ‘Hot Sauce’.
