Will SM finally realize that NCT Dream will probably be their biggest BG since EXO?

I thought NCT 127 was the biggest BG since EXO, they really pushed them on our throats.

Dream really has more potential than the other units. They snatched NCT's first win and #1 charting (realtime.)

Tbh it’s useless to compare sales year over year Cuz kpop sales grows that exponentially. The next 127 comeback will prolly beat it.

If it doesn’t then I suppose you can make this thread.

Wbk for a while. Dream's bigger than the whole nct brand i know that's right

looks like they will be able to sell over 1m with their first full album

can't wait to witness how far they'll be able to go, future is looking bright

No putting down on NCT unit to prop up another.

this is after NCT 2020 the big NCT project and all units grow after that. You can compare after NCT 127 have their next comeback.

I mean, its kinda hard to tell at this point. They are pulling NCT U album numbers, which has always been the REAL mystery of NCT's concept. NCT U is expected to get more sales because its all 3 sub-units fandoms buying 1 album. For example, NCT U Empathy sold 300k in March 2018, NCT 127 (full album) and Dream (mini) Both sold under 300k even tho they came out later in that year.

BUT Dream is matching NCT U numbers now, which is a VERY good sign. It could be because Mark is back and its their 1st full album so its getting full fandom support.

OR, it means than Resonance P1. hitting 1.5mil and being the highest selling album in SM history wasn't a fluke. Its possible 127 and Dream will have full fandom support behind them now like NCT U promos and will continue to reach higher and higher sales as they basically compete with eachother. Fans will want 127's numbers to be higher when its their comeback time.

Also with the potential debut of a new unit this year, the question is how much their debut sales will be. This will be another great year for the boys.

It's insane tbh. NCTzens always asked for a full album from NCT Dream (the original 7 member lineup), now they got it and they will stop at nothing to make it No.1.

Their buying power is astonishing to me.

If this is the one with jaemin then yes. Weren't they one of the best performing units before aswell.

If dream sells 1M then 127 upcoming album will sell 1.5M

They always be the best performing units especially their digitals

Too bad they're not SM faves unit

I'm just sad that sm never really promote dream as much when they got massive potential. Dream is my favorite unit out of the whole nct

Amazing because i even think that nct dream without Mark and Harechan can pull the same numbers as 127's 9 members.

But its not about putting down one sub unit, because sales will keep growing for the whole NCT. How other users say next 127 comeback will also have the same numbers.

The thing is Dream still has a long way to go, if Sm plays their cards well they can have a million seller group for 8 years or more and imo Dream also has more potential to have the general public support.

127 only has few years left before members start enlisting, thats why sm shoving 127 down everyone's throats meanwhile dream has a long long year ahead of them.

and can you please dont bring down one unit to praise other, they all stand under the same umbrella.

People really be calling 1 korean comeback a year since 2019 and some american promotion on 2018/2019 "pushing down our throat" lmao, y'all can uplift a unit without dragging the other one, 127 is like the reason NCT started becoming very big since last year and their members are older than Dream, not to mention they were the first fixed unit to debut and they represented "Seoul" on the NCT project, ofc they would get more promoted than a unit that was supposef to have a graduation system, but even then 127 didn't promote shit on Korea even until these days, y'all think some american shows on 2019 is "pushing down our throat" when they have barely got shit on the countries most of their sales come from.

The superior NCT unit!

Back here in July when they will most likely do bc before resonance the album to have the highest 1st day preorder sales was neozone, all that before nct2020 hype

This hiatus will just make 127 fans more hungry bc they won't cmb for a while as exo is in line same as a dream reapckage

Also nct best performing song digitally is kick it, a 127 song

i thought so too.

whenever i think of nct, my mind always goes to 127. like i discovered there were multiple groups in the nct system way after discovering 127???

Let's not pit the units against each other and just hope they're going to keep outdoing each other with every new release lol.

Seriously though, I think is the Resonance magic at work, as well as the units' own continuous growth. If you look at their sales pattern in the past they never stopped growing and Resonance is boosting that growth exponentially. 127 will also benefit from that.

NCT as a whole is their biggest since EXO

And I'm glad Dreamies get the recongnition they deserves

I didn't want to put down NCT so..... I created this nonsense

In order to being the biggest bg they need to have at least a legitimate hit in SK.

Being million sellers is becoming more common since last year and don’t prove real popularity

I mean....there are no other SM groups between EXO and NCT's units

people don't know this, Dream is easily the scariest unit.

its so funny because as an international fan i always thought that they're not that popular - now im quite embarrassed, they have so much potential as a group and you're right, is sm blind or...? i can't wait for the comeback

I knew they were hyped a lot but man, In 2 days, My opinion changed. They are literally aiming million seller for "Hot Sauce", that's batshit crazy!!!!

Way to discredit 127

Which has people from dream in it ffs

Yessss, manifesting this.

It’s always been my experience that all the active Czennies on this forum support all the groups, even if it’s not their taste or bias, so this post is interesting.

I think Dream is going to have a very successful comeback and it’s well deserved for both the Dreamies and their fans, who have been waiting for this moment.

It’s already been covered in other posts here, but yes, NCT is the only bg since EXO for SM and has also already been highly successful, smashing a 25 year old record for sales with Resonance.

127 is the top seller out of the permanent sub-units and Neo Zone and the repackage crushed it in Korea last year, going multi-platinum. It also continues to perform exceptionally well outside Korea and certainly has a very strong sales base in multiple countries, especially the U.S. where its albums chart on the mainstream charts, not only the world albums charts. Since all the sub units are seeing a post-Resonance lift, I would expect this here too from 127.

And of course, we couldn’t have an NCT post without someone popping up to say tHeY dOn’T hAVe a hIt. I just worked on the Lexicon for 127 last night and realized they are doing just better than I thought they were in Korea as I compiled the charts and sales, but I can see this chestnut is going to keep going.

And if selling 1 million albums doesn’t prove popularity, why do the four artists that did sell that much - and yes, there were only 4, despite it being “more common” - all rank amongst the top Kpop acts on YT, Twitter and Spotify?

Tl, dr:

- NCT is doing just fine.

- Dream will be big.

- 127 will be big, and is currently the top seller.

- SM has multiple successful bg under one brand umbrella.

- Czennies wish success for other Czennies.

If you were actually a fan, you'd know why they didn't have more comebacks instead of just saying dumb things like "is sm blind"

? well i think it's actually sm's fault for not promoting them better, it's been 5 years since their debut and they're releasing their full album just now. nct dream is way less popular internationally than nct127, im updated with their releases and content, i cant read sm's mind, no need to attack me

Dream was not supposed to last, it was a stepping stone for members before they get into other fixed units and that's why there was no point in pushing them as a group. It wasn't until last year that SM finally scratched the original concept and turned them into a permanent unit, because of the overwhelming support they received over the years and the potential they proved to have. Now I expect they'll be treated like a proper group, it's not a coincidence that they're coming back with a full album right after they became permanent.
