NCT DREAM Breaks Records with Over 4.1 Million Pre-orders for their 3rd Album 'ISTJ' - Here's What To Expect
K-pop boy group NCT DREAM is gearing up to showcase their broadened musical spectrum and charm in their upcoming third full-length album 'ISTJ.'
NCT DREAM Meets MBTI, A Hot Keyword Among Gen MZ!
NCT DREAM has highlighted 'ISTJ', one of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality types, in both the title of their 3rd full album and the title track. The intriguing convergence of the hot Gen MZ keyword MBTI with NCT DREAM is drawing significant attention.
The title track 'ISTJ' is a hybrid hip-hop dance song, whose lyrics break the stereotypical mold of MBTI, describing an ENFP's confident story of interpreting their ISTJ partner in their unique way. There's a growing curiosity about the appeal of MBTI interpreted through NCT DREAM's unique lens.
Adding to the anticipation, the teaser content, also inspired by MBTI, showcased varied visuals and dual charms through the contrasting characters of introverted 'I' and extroverted 'E'. The teaser heightened expectations for the new album with special storytelling, showing everything from the calm and nerdy charm in a private hideout with the 'INTROVERT' concept to a free-spirited 'EXTROVERT' concept exploring the streets.
Expanding Musical Spectrum from Refreshing to Sensual!
This album includes a total of 10 songs, ranging from refreshing summer tunes to mature and sensual tracks, including the title track 'ISTJ' and the pre-released 'Broken Melodies'.
Fans can enjoy refreshing summer vibes from songs like 'Yogurt Shake', expressing shy gestures in front of a lover, 'Pretzel (♡)', which metaphorically refers to a lover with a heart-shaped pretzel, and 'Skateboard', which captures refreshing energy under the hot sun. Furthermore, the sensual musical aspect of NCT DREAM is also featured in tracks such as 'Poison', expressing contradictory feelings of love, and 'SOS', expressing a strong desire towards a lover. The album also includes 'Like We Just Met', a sincere expression of their heart in which all seven members participated in writing the lyrics, providing ample evidence of NCT DREAM's expanded musical spectrum.
Breaking Records with Pre-orders! 3rd Full Album Signals 'Career High'
NCT DREAM has broken their record with over 4.1 million pre-orders for their third album 'ISTJ' (as of the 10th), proving their strong influence. This figure is nearly twice the pre-order volume of their second album released in March of last year, vividly demonstrating the growing popularity and influence of NCT DREAM. With the group breaking their record before the album's release, all eyes are on what records NCT DREAM will set with their third full album.
NCT DREAM's third full album 'ISTJ' will be available on various music sites at 6 PM on the 17th and will also be released as a physical album on the same day.
