NCT Dream World Tour Returns!

NCT Dream World Tour Returns!

| Gabriella Luu

NCT is back in the United States with their subunit, NCT Dream, and I am extremely excited for their world tour that has already started! NCT Dream is a subunit of NCT, which stands for Neo Culture Technology. NCT was formed in 2016. NCT Dream was formed with the purpose in mind of becoming the teenage subunit to NCT, allowing the members to explore their youth at that age. Members would go through an “admission” to join the group, and then “graduation” after leaving the group. Their debut was August 25, 2016 with the song “Chewing Gum.” The lineup of NCT Dream consists of seven members: Mark, Renjun, Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, Chenle, and Jisung. Their ages ranged from 15 to 17. Mark actually had his graduation from NCT Dream, but was later promoted into NCT Dream as a 7 member group again! This meant the end of the “graduation” age-based system for NCT Dream.

The awaited return of Anime Night went all out in true “My Hero Academia” fashion with a Plus Ultra theme January 26, 2023 at the Hard Rock Cafe. The event filled the venue with nearly 250 guests there to share their love of anime music and subculture. To help the event really go plus ultra this time, music was performed live, a cosplay contest was integrated and the vendor section expanded. It was a great night for Kawaii Gifts to get our name out there to fellow anime enthusiasts!
