NCT DREAM successfully finished its debut 10th anniversary commemorative fan meeting. NCT DREAM held the debut 10th anniversary commemorative fan meeting, “NCT DREAM 10TH ANNIVERSARY PARTY 'THE SWEET DREAM HOTEL',” on August 22-23 at Inspire Arena on Yeongjong Island, Incheon. Both performances were sold out, drawing about 23,000 spectators. This fan meeting had been drawing attention as a place to commemorate the 10th anniversary of NCT DREAM, which debuted on August 25, 2016. NCT DREAM presented a wide repertoire, from songs announced at the time of their debut that fans had been waiting for, to representative hit songs. They drove the venue into a frenzy with a variety of songs, including “Chewing Gum,” “My First and Las,” “Don’t Need Your Love,” “Best Friend,” “Drive,” “Candy,” and “Beatbox.” This fan meeting, staged with a hotel concept marking its 10th anniversary since opening, was held in the form of welcoming Czennies (the name of NCT’s fans) as VVIP customers and enjoying a special commemorative party together. Through diverse corners such as “Staff Teamwork Evaluation ‘82.5-Second Service,’” which checks the members’ unity, “Anonymous Reporting Room,” which checks each other’s true feelings, and “VVIP Special Order ‘Challenge Service,’” where fans’ desired challenges are carried out, they delivered fresh fun. A special exhibition looking back on 10 years of history also touched fans’ emotions. Through “Heritage Collection,” which displayed a collection full of memories such as a hoverboard, the first No. 1 trophy on a terrestrial music program, the first full-length album, a grand prize trophy, and a light stick symbolizing Czennies, and through “Blessing Messages from Fans,” which introduced congratulatory messages sent directly by fans, they looked back on the time NCT DREAM and Czennies have walked together. At the end of the fan meeting, NCT DREAM said, “As we reach our 10th anniversary, the dreams and goals we first had, and the moment we first met the members, come to mind. Because it is time that we have accumulated step by step, it feels even more meaningful. We have been able to come this far because there were Czennies who were always by our side, gave us strength, and supported us without change. We want to celebrate not only our 10th anniversary, but Czennies’ 10th anniversary as well. We will continue moving toward even bigger dreams, so please stay with us.” NCT DREAM will hold a live broadcast of “OUR SUMMER DREAM : NCT DREAM 10TH ANNIVERSARY” from 11 p.m. on the 24th through the NCT DREAM YouTube channel and others. On the 25th, the day of their 10th debut anniversary, they plan to spend time with fans around the world.
