- Shotaro is booked and busy - he will be the special model for FCMM X WIND AND SEA Collection to be released on March 26. The Dreamies have a CF with this brand and they put out a lot of social promotional content!
- Sungchan's role as Inkigayo MC is coming to an end at the end of this month.
The new MCs start on April 3. This is the first time there hasn't been a NCT MC on Inkigayo since October 2019!
Charts and Numbers
- Unnnnngggh, so close...
"Cherry Bomb" is at 98.8M streams. This will be the second NCT song to hit 100M after "Boss." The next song will be NCT Dream "Boom."
- NCT Dream's "Life Is Still Going On" has passed 30M streams on Spotify. It's the first and fastest NCT Dream b-side to hit this milestone 🍾
- You may have seen that Jaehyun's "Try Again" hit 50M streams. That's not entirely true - the song + its instrumental hit 50M. He's the first Neo to do so, and it's awesome that a song from 2017 did that but I'll really pop the champagne/sparkling apple cider when the song itself hits 50. Judging by the pace, that should be soon since it's at 49M and continues to climb with the viral boost!
- Haechan's OST continues to climb - up 22 spots to #149 on MelOn.
- Taeil's OST also continues to hold solid at #84 on MelOn.
- Neos are also on the weekly QQ charts for Korean songs in China: Haechan's OST (#17), Mark's Child (#27), Zoo (#28), Doyoung's OST (#52).
These aren't pinned, so I've listed direct links below.
