In May, NCT Dream released ‘Beatbox’, a repackaged version of their second full-length album ‘Glitch Mode’, which the group dropped earlier in March. ‘Beatbox’ included three new tracks alongside the original 11 featured on ‘Glitch Mode’, including ‘To My First’, ‘Sorry Heart’ and ‘On The Way’.
In a four-star review for ‘Glitch Mode’, NME reviewer Rhian Daly dubbed the record an effort that traverses “more mature ground”, while also keeping “their trademark dynamism intact”.
‘Glitch Mode’ followed last June’s ‘Hello Future’, which was a respective repackaging of their May 2021 debut, ‘Hot Sauce’.
Meanwhile, last month, the group played at Los Angeles’ KCON 2022, alongside a stacked line-up that included ENHYPEN, Stray Kids, Ateez, and STAYC.
The full line-up for I-Pop I 2022 is as follows:
NCT Dream
XDinary Heroes
WayV
Golden Child
