November 5, 2022
Back to daily posts after the period of mourning.
Everyone's thoughts of course remain with the victims, their families and survivors.
During the period, non-Korean posts continued to happen in other countries,
like Japan and Indonesia, which are also captured in today's posts.
NCT Dream
- NCT Dream was scheduled to perform at the Genie Awards, but the red carpet were cancelled due to the tragedy. It looks like performances will still happen on Nov. 8 with a prerecord the day before.
- Dream will play be rehearsing to play arenas in Japan at the end of the month as part of their Dream Show tour.
- NCT Dream was nominated as Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, Best Male Group and Netizen Popularity Awards.
- NEW CF: Blanc Diva

NCT 127
- You may have seen the issues on the first night of the Link in Jakarta (there was a bomb thread and the first day cut short due to the barricade being pushed over by fans and people fainting)M, but the second night went off well with Indozens holding up apologies on their phones.
- The Neos were gifted beautiful batik shirts. Taeyong has already posted in his!

- Urichil are back home in Korea. The next Link concerts are at the beginning of December in Thailand, so hopefully a rest and recharge break? Except the 7Dream manager was at the airport to pick up MaHae, so no rest for those guys.
- NEW CONTENT: Johnny was quoted in a story/podcast for BBC around NCT 127. We saw this one posted before by the writer, but not by the actual BBC, I think. (in English)

- NEW CF: Nature Republic Herbology where members will reveal customized creams on Nov. 14.
- NCT 127 is only nominated for the Netizen Popularity Award in the Melon Music Awards (Nominees are between Nov. 8, 2021 and Nov. 3, 2022. The awards rely heavily on Melon streaming so an earlier release time and longer to stream is definitely beneficial here!)
WayV
- The assumption is that the WayV album would be announced after Chen's released. His album is delayed to the 14th, per reports, so it's unclear if WayV would be announced after that or instead announced now to keep album releases moving. We'll definitely wait and see on Monday in Korea!
- NEW INTERVIEW: Ten for the GRAMMYs

Cross-Unit
- I don't normally report on Bubbles here unless there's something relevant, but it's worth noting the most avid Bubblers were the first to return to posting: Jisung and Doyoung. Surprisingly, Jaehyun also bubbled, with kind words for Indonesian fans.
- NEW CONTENT: Episode 5 of Shotaro and Sungchan's What is NCT is posted (no Eng subs)

- Some rumors are saying SMNBG in January, NCT Tokyo in first half of year, SMNGG in May, NCT Hollywood in 2024. This doesn't make any sense. If SM is launching two bgs, they wouldn't launch them a few months apart and eat into their potential business. IMO, it's more realistic to assume the bgs launch in different parts of the year. I also would find it wild that SM is doing a whole ass show about NCT in Japan only to launch...a totally different bg. But I've been with SM long enough to know logic is not a friend of theirs soo..
- MAMA prevoting wrapped up and despite the el scandoloso, both Dream and 127 will advance to the final round.
