NCT DREAM, ahead of the release of their 6th full album “DREAM AFTER DREAM,” unveiled the music video for the included track “The Sun,” opening the curtain on the new album. The music video for “The Sun,” released today (the 20th) at 0:00 through YouTube’s SMTOWN channel and others, depicts the strong bond and warm emotions of the six members as they go on a journey in a camping car. Against the backdrop of vast fields and the sea dyed by a red sunset, their journey of piling up memories, combined with the cinematic development of the song, delivers the romance of youth and deeply moving emotion. “The Sun,” the first track on the new album, is a pop ballad song distinguished by emotional synthesizer and electric guitar sounds. The lyrics, which look back on the time NCT DREAM has walked together over the past 10 years, contain the belief that because they had each other, they were able to overcome many moments, and a firm promise that, like the rising sun after passing through a dark night, they will continue moving toward the same dream without change. The 6th full album “DREAM AFTER DREAM” is a substantial package of 10 songs, including the title track “Boogie Woogie” and the pre-released “The Sun.” On November 9 at 6:00 p.m., the audio for all songs will be released through various music streaming sites, and on the same day it will also be released as a CD.
