NCT Dream have released a new teaser for their upcoming single, ‘Broken Melodies’.
The new teaser for ‘Broken Melodies’ features shots of the K-pop boyband making calls from a photobooth that’s located on the roof of a building, with a giant pink neon sign of the song behind them. It ends with the boyband teasing the dance for the song, while singing a preview of the song.
On June 3, the NCT sub-unit wrapped up the last of their ‘The Dream Show 2: In Your Dream’ encore concerts in Seoul, which was also live-streamed to fans globally. At the end of the show, the group announced that they had a special gift for fans, before unveiling the teaser for their upcoming song titled ‘Broken Melodies’.
The teaser clip, which was later shared by fans in attendance on social media, features a short snippet of the song over a photo of NCT Dream. It also reveals that the song will be out sometime in June.

In a previous teaser clip, NCT Dream’s Mark can be heard reciting lines from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream as images and videos for ‘Unbroken Melodies’ play on screen.
NCT Dream’s ‘The Dream Show 2: In Your Dream’ Seoul concerts follow recent stops in Asia, Europe and North America over the first half of 2023. The group are set to bring the tour to South America this July.
Last month, SM Entertainment outlined its upcoming plans for NCT, including the release of NCT Dream’s third studio album next month, as well as a new mini-album in November.
In the same video briefing, the K-pop label shared that members Sungchan and Shotaro would be “closing their chapter with NCT”. The duo were previously introduced as NCT members in October 2020, and were featured in songs on the boyband’s studio albums, ‘NCT 2020 Resonance’ and ‘Universe’ respectively.
However, the pair did not end up joining one of NCT’s fixed sub-groups — NCT 127, NCT Dream and WayV — during their time with the boyband. Sungchan and Shotaro are now set to debut in a new boy group under SM Entertainment.
