NCT DREAM Express Their Love For Fans More Than Chilli Crab At “The Dream Show 3” Singapore

Making their return to Singapore after a year, tickets to 2024 NCT DREAM WORLD TOUR <THE DREAM SHOW 3 : DREAM()SCAPE> in SINGAPORE was sold out almost instantly once ticket sales commenced, prompting the group to add a second show for the Singapore stop. Consisting of Mark, Renjun, Jeno, Haechan, Chenle, Jaemin and Jisung, this marked Chenle’s first time in Singapore as he did not participate in the Singapore concert last year. Unfortunately, Renjun had to sit out of the tour this time round due to health concerns.

The concert began with NCTzens waving their NeoBongs along with the opening VCR. NCT DREAM then emerged from the backdrop to deafening screams from fans, who have eagerly waited for their return to Singapore.

Starting with ‘BOX’, ‘119’, ‘SOS’ and ‘GO’, the fanchants were deafening as the members moved to the extended stage to perform, decked in a suave studded black fit, and with some members’ midriffs being exposed beneath their jackets.

Introducing themselves, the members also reminded everyone to stay safe during the concert (especially those in the standing pens) and to enjoy themselves to the fullest until the end. Chenle received a really warm welcome from the Singapore fans, as he greeted his Singapore fans for the first time.

What was impressive was that during the VCR breaks, the NeoBongs’ colours were actually in sync with what was shown on screen, rendering it a beautiful sight for everyone that was present to witness it.

After an outfit change to a casual school boy concept, NCT DREAM returned to stage for a medley consisting of ‘Arcade’, ‘We Go Up’ and ‘Bungee’.

Mark posed a question to fans (which he mentioned that he’ll usually ask at every stop), for them to scream and raise their hands according to what they desire the most: Do they like NCT DREAM when they are at their cutest, sexiest or most beautiful. Of course, the one with the most deafening screams went to ‘sexy’! Lucky NCTzens got treated to the members’ sexy poses, namely from Jaemin, Mark… and Chenle’s new hair colour (according to Mark).

For their next ballad segment, NCT DREAM serenaded NCTzens with ‘Walk With You’ and ‘Never Goodbye’ on the elevated platform. It was a beautiful sight with fans singing along with the members.

“This one is for you, Singapore!” NCT DREAM dedicated their next song, ‘UNKNOWN’, for their fans here, inviting them to “Be brave, be strong” / “Go chase your dreams” with the members.

NCT DREAM then performed a slew of hits which coincidentally (or not..?) involved food names in the titles–‘Tangerine Love’, ‘Yoghurt Shake’, ‘Pretzel’ and ‘Candy’. It was fanservice galore, and the members also took the chance to tease one another on stage.

“For ‘Candy’, when will our fight end?”

Mark teased the crowd, “I see a lot of you dancing, I see a lot of you having fun. But! It’s just the beginning!”

NCT DREAM requested for fans to do the wave (similar to our iconic Kallang wave), and upon seeing it, they remarked that the Singapore stop was the best wave that they have seen so far. “Singapore has the most beautiful wave!”

Mark also took the opportunity to showcase some Singlish phrases that he picked up. “Czennie swee lah!”

NCTzens were treated to a series of catchy B-sides and classic hits, such as ‘Dream Run’, ‘Better Than Gold’, ‘Fireflies’, ‘Hello Future’ and ‘Broken Melodies’.

There was barely any time to catch a break between VCRs as it seemed like every time NCT DREAM returned to stage, the screams got even louder. Donning military style studded jackets and vests, NCT DREAM drove the crowd wild with fast-paced hits ‘Skateboard’, ‘ISTJ’ and ‘Smoothie’.

Even while waiting for the encore, it was not a boring moment as fan banners were shown on screen, some with witty messages and a number of ‘7DREAM’ banners were also spotted.

The NCT DREAM members returned to stage for their encore, wearing cute headbands (and Haechan and Jisung in the blue TDS3 bathrobes) for ‘Dive Into You’ and ‘ANL’.

Although NCT DREAM has never come to Singapore as 7DREAM before, the members promised that the next time when they return here, it will be as 7DREAM and asked NCTzens here to wait for them. Jaemin praised Singapore NCTzens, which he called Singzennie, for having plenty of energy and being so good at having fun during the concert. Mark expressed his gratitude to the fans, which he really appreciated that they vibed along and were in the moment together with NCT DREAM, and he could feel that through the atmosphere.

“I like you guys more than chilli crab!”
– Jisung

The concert ended off with NCT DREAM standing amongst a beautiful confetti ocean to perform ‘Like We Just Met’. Even then, the members lingered on stage for a while longer, giving their last goodbyes to fans before leaving the stage, while playing around with the cameras.

We will definitely be waiting patiently for NCT DREAM to return to Singapore as 7DREAM in the near future, like how the members have promised.
