Boy band NCT Dream canceled its upcoming concert titled “The Dream Show2 – In A Dream” set to run from Friday to Sunday in southern Seoul’s Gocheok Sky Dome, after another member tested positive for Covid-19.

According to its agency SM Entertainment, Renjun tested positive and is now quarantining. Mark tested positive for the virus on Monday.

“The Dream Show2 – In a Dream” was set to be NCT Dream’s second offline since the band last took to the stage in November 2019 at Jangchung Arena in central Seoul.

Tickets will be fully refunded. Information related refunds can be found on ticket reservation sites, according to SM.

NCT Dream, one of four subunits of NCT, debuted in 2016 with the single “Chewing Gum,” which was released in both Korean and Chinese. The other subunits are NCT U, NCT 127 and WayV.

NCT Dream has seven members: Mark, Renjun, Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, Chenle and Jisung.

In late May, the band released “Beatbox,” a repackaged version of its second full-length album “Glitch Mode” (2022). The two albums sold a combined total of over 3.6 million copies, a record for the band.
