Additionally, they also shared a heartfelt message for fans all around the world, “5 years with NCTzens! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts, to the highest peak in world, to the deepest pits of the ground. We’re only here because you guys are here. It has truly been like a DREAM…and we’re still dreaming” August 18 was also the date SM announced the debut of the NCT’s third unit 5 years ago. This unquestionably makes the release of the live clip all more significant both to the fans and the group itself.

Alongside the news, the group’s Twitter page also released two teasers that have the fans speculating on what could be the fan meet theme. The first teaser features Mark, Haechan, Jaemin, and Chenle in blue-based outfits seemingly giving an invitation to their event. Meanwhile, the 2nd teaser released a day after, features Renjun, Jeno, and Jisung. It serves as the cherry on top with the appearance of a cake decorated with the text ‘NCT DREAM 5TH DEBUT CONGRATS’. Both of these videos ended with the members grouped up and popping champagne to evidently celebrate their anniversary. In short, the teasers certainly make the fans more eager to watch the upcoming event.
