As NCT DREAM’s comeback date draws near, fans have been clamoring for spoilers to get a glimpse of what the group has in store. Chenle and Renjun responded to these requests in a manner that was both amusing and bewildering, sharing photos that sparked more questions than answers.
On his Instagram, Chenle posted a photo of his right foot, bruised and bandaged, captioning it with a coy “Spoiler 😏🤟🏽.” The post quickly attracted attention, including humorous responses from fellow NCT members Kun and Mark, who were just as puzzled by the peculiar teaser.
Renjun followed suit. He posted a photo of both his feet, similarly bruised and bandaged. His post came with the intriguing caption, “But I’m gonna run..🦋.”
Days later, Jaemin did the same thing. He created an Instagram carousel comprising eight photos. The first was a photo of—you guessed it—his injured feet. These unusual teasers have added an air of mystery around their upcoming album, [DREAM( )SCAPE], set to drop on March 25. The title track “Smoothie” will be accompanied by five B-sides: “i cant feel anything,” “Box,” “Carat Cake,” “Unknown,” and “Breathing.”
NCT DREAM will impress fans
The group also released a schedule poster for the EP. It features a black and white butterfly stitched onto fabric with red thread.
