Boy band NCT Dream [SM ENTERTAINMENT]

NCT Dream will return with their third full-length album "ISTJ" on July 17, the boy band's agency SM Entertainment said Tuesday.

A prerelease track, "Broken Melodies," will drop Monday before the album release.

"ISTJ" will feature 10 tracks, including the title track of the same name.

"The 10 tracks featured in the album will feature a variety of genres, enough to meet the expanded and diversified colors of NCT Dream," SM Entertainment said in a press release.

The upcoming album will be NCT Dream's new album in one year and two months, following "Beatbox," the repackaged second full-length album released in May 2022. The boy band also released "Candy," a special winter EP in December 2022.

NCT Dream is a sub-group of SM Entertainment's 20-member boy band NCT, consisting of younger members of the boy band.

All three sub-groups of boy band NCT — NCT 127, NCT Dream and WayV — will come together for an offline stadium tour in Korea and Japan for the first time, performing at the Incheon Munhak Stadium in Incheon on Aug. 26, Yanmar Stadium Nagai, Osaka, on Sept. 9 and 10 and in Ajinomoto Stadium, Tokyo on Sept. 16 and 17.
