NCT DREAM, which debuted in August 2016, has renewed its contract with SM Entertainment as the group celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. On the 20th, SM announced that all six members—Haechan, Renjun, Jeno, Jaemin, Chenle, and Jisung—renewed their contracts based on deep trust in each other and unwavering affection for the group. Initially operating as a sub-unit where members graduated upon turning 20, NCT DREAM abolished the graduation system after releasing their mini-album 'Reload' in April 2020. Following Mark's departure in April, the group is now a complete six-member lineup. SM stated it will continue providing full support to help NCT DREAM's unlimited potential shine, with the group planning to release a new album in the fourth quarter.
