đ„ Another Victory for NCT DREAM with âBTTFâ
NCT DREAM has done it againâclaiming 1st place on MBCâs ‘Show! Music Core’ with their explosive title track âBTTF (Back To The Future)â, the centerpiece of their 5th full-length album. This marks their second trophy, following their recent win on KBS2âs âMusic Bankâ, confirming their summer domination.
The groupâs high-energy stages and heartfelt speeches continue to inspire fans, affectionately known as NCTzens (or Czennies), who have supported them unwaveringly throughout this era.
đ€ âThank You, CzenniesââA Message From the Heart
After receiving the award, NCT DREAM members expressed deep gratitude:
âWe sincerely thank Czennies who always make us shine the brightest. We’re also grateful to everyone who helped us perform well during this promotion. Weâll continue to work hard as NCT DREAM.â
Their message wasnât just a routine thank-youâit was a heartfelt moment that once again reminded the world why this group maintains such a devoted global fanbase. Their sincerity, humility, and dedication shine just as brightly as their performances.
đ¶ CHILLER Performance Ignites the Stage
In addition to âBTTFâ, the boys lit up the stage with their double title track âCHILLERâ. Filled with charm, swagger, and NCT DREAMâs unique youthful energy, the performance had both the live audience and home viewers buzzing with excitement.
The choreography was sharp and fun, the visuals vibrant, and the stage presence unmatched. Their encore performance of âBTTFâ showed off their relaxed charismaâjoking, smiling, yet still delivering solid live vocals, proving again that they are true performers.
đ NCT DREAM Charts in the UK for Two Weeks Straight
âBTTFâ isnât just winning in Korea. The song also entered two major charts in the UKâthe Official Single Downloads and Single Sales chartsâlanding at #25 for the second week in a row (as of July 25).
This kind of performance on the UK Official Charts, known for their credibility and competitiveness, proves that NCT DREAMâs influence is growing exponentially outside of Asia.
It’s a big dealâcharting two weeks in a row in the UK is rare for K-pop groups not promoting directly in the region.

The full album âGo Back To The Futureâ is more than just a collection of songs. With nine tracks, it takes fans through a cinematic time-travel experience, weaving together past emotions, present dreams, and future possibilities.
And the numbers speak for themselves:
- #1 on multiple Korean daily and weekly album charts
- Triple crown on Circle Chart (formerly Gaon)
- Platinum certification on Chinaâs QQ Music, along with #1 on Digital Album Sales
- #1 on KuGou Music’s digital album chart
These accolades prove NCT DREAMâs cross-cultural appeal and their strength not only as performers but also as conceptual storytellers.
