NCT DREAM’s Dream After Dream: Nov 9 Release Time by Zone
Short answer: NCT DREAM’s sixth full album, Dream After Dream, drops on November 9, 2026 at 6 p.m. KST. That is 4 a.m. Eastern in the US. It has 10 tracks. The title song is “Boogie Woogie.” It is the first album without Mark. Only two song titles are public so far, so there is no full tracklist to quote yet.
Ten songs. Six members. Ten years since “Chewing Gum.”
That is the pitch behind Dream After Dream, and the rollout has been quiet about everything except the date. Below: what SM Entertainment has actually confirmed, a release-time table for your city, what the teasers show, and what else lands the same week.

When does Dream After Dream come out?
NCT DREAM’s sixth full-length album Dream After Dream is scheduled for November 9, 2026 at 6 p.m. KST on major streaming platforms, with the physical edition going on sale the same day, according to The Korea Times citing SM Entertainment.
The comeback was first confirmed in mid-October, tied to the group’s 10th debut anniversary (Sports Khan).
Your local time depends on where you are, and the date can flip. Here is the same moment in seven places.
| City | Local time on release | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Seoul and Tokyo | 6:00 p.m. | Nov 9 |
| Singapore and Manila | 5:00 p.m. | Nov 9 |
| Sydney | 8:00 p.m. (AEDT) | Nov 9 |
| London | 9:00 a.m. (GMT) | Nov 9 |
| New York | 4:00 a.m. (EST) | Nov 9 |
| Chicago | 3:00 a.m. (CST) | Nov 9 |
| Los Angeles | 1:00 a.m. (PST) | Nov 9 |
I worked those out from the 6 p.m. KST announcement and the standard-time offsets in force after US clocks changed on November 1. Check your own phone clock against 09:00 UTC if you are somewhere not listed.
What do we know about the tracklist?
As of November 3, 2026, Dream After Dream has 10 announced tracks and only two public titles: the lead single “Boogie Woogie” and the B-side “The Sun,” per The Korea Times and Music Times.
| Item | Status | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Track count: 10 including the title song | Confirmed | SM Entertainment via The Korea Times |
| Title track: Boogie Woogie | Confirmed | SM Entertainment via The Korea Times |
| Sound of the title track: 1970s disco-funk with modern synths | Confirmed (agency description) | The Korea Times |
| The Sun (music video released Oct 20) | Confirmed, per Music Times citing Soompi | Music Times |
| Other eight track titles | Not public | None found |
| Full credits for every song | Not public | None found |
When I checked the coverage from Korea Times, Music Times and Sports Khan side by side, I found that none of them names a third song. If a site already shows you a nine- or ten-line tracklist for this album, treat it as a guess until the streaming credits go live.
That matters because fake tracklists spread fast before a big comeback.
On credits, Jaemin co-wrote the lyrics to “Boogie Woogie,” which The Korea Times says celebrate the members’ decade together. No composers or producers have been named in the pieces I read.
Who is on the album after Mark’s exit?
NCT DREAM’s Dream After Dream features six members, Renjun, Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, Chenle and Jisung, because Mark left the group and SM Entertainment in April 2026 when his exclusive contract expired (The Korea Times, October 29, 2026).
It is a milestone release in two senses. It marks the 10th anniversary of the group’s 2016 debut, and it is the first full album under the new lineup. Expect that framing in every article, show intro and fan project this month.
Honestly, the lineup change is the part most fans will listen for first: who takes which lines on the lead single.
What do the teasers say about the concept?
The Dream After Dream teaser images show the six members as gardeners tending crops, which SM Entertainment says stands for the moments the group has grown over 10 years and the stories still to come (The Korea Times).
The rollout so far, as reported by Music Times and The Korea Times:
| Date (2026) | What happened |
|---|---|
| Mid-October | Sixth full album and 10th-anniversary comeback confirmed |
| Oct 20 | “The Sun” music video released |
| Oct 22 | Schedule poster posted |
| Late October | Individual and group mood samplers, then more images |
| Oct 30 (KST) | New mood sampler and concept photos |
| Nov 9, 6 p.m. KST | Album and “Boogie Woogie” release |
A disco-funk lead single paired with a farming-garden visual is an unusual combination. It reads as warm and nostalgic rather than the harder sound of some past NCT DREAM title tracks, but that is an impression from the descriptions, not a review of a song nobody outside SM has heard in full.
What else comes out the same week?
Several K-pop acts release between November 6 and November 9, 2026, including P1Harmony on November 6 and ITZY’s Chaeryeong on November 9, according to the comeback schedule on kpopofficial.com.
| Date (KST) | Artist | Release | Title track |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nov 6, 2 p.m. | P1Harmony | 10th mini album, BLOW UP | BLOW UP |
| Nov 9, 6 p.m. | Chaeryeong (ITZY) | Solo debut album, Lovesick | Lovesick |
| Nov 9, 6 p.m. | NCT DREAM | 6th full album, Dream After Dream | Boogie Woogie |
Two releases at the same minute means a split of attention on streaming charts and in fan chats. Fan-run schedule sites can contain errors, so confirm times with each agency’s official channels.

How to get ready before 6 p.m. KST
The simplest prep is to add the album to your streaming library the moment it appears, set a reminder for 09:00 UTC on November 9, and follow SM Entertainment’s official accounts for the tracklist poster.
Here you are, a few minutes before the drop. Before you share anything, check the track count: if a post says nine or eleven songs, it is wrong.
Tips
- Convert the release time once with a world-clock tool and save it as a calendar event.
- Add the album to your library the moment the page appears.
- Wait for the official credits on your streaming app before you quote writers or producers.
- Use official sources for the physical edition on sale date if you plan to buy a copy.
Warnings
- Anything beyond “Boogie Woogie” and “The Sun” in a tracklist you see before November 9 is unverified.
- Release times can differ slightly by platform and region; check your own app.
- Avoid leaked files and unofficial uploads. They do not count toward charts.
