thank you for reacting to nct dream!!! they’re my favorite unit and they have really interesting vocals so i hope you can react to more of them! my favourite member, jisung, didn’t have solo lines (or i missed them) in this video i would’ve been curious to see what you have to say about his vocal quality. it’s this low husky voice that is really suited to rapping but also unexpectedly really beautiful and soulful when he sings. i do hope u can check more of them out! 💚

i honestly have very long passages i could write about both nct dream as a unit & this song & how it relates to their career, but i’m unsure how much patreon will let me say so i’ll try to keep it short-ish. so, nct dream was the 3rd nct unit introduced in 2016. as you mentioned, they debuted with the concept of graduation- once members passed the 20 year threshold in korean age they would leave the group so the dreamies would always maintain their pure, young image. now what you need to understand is that the dreamieshave known each other since metaphorical diapers. i could (and have, actually) write a long history on how the dreamies met and became friends, but to keep it short, they’ve been training & living together since ~2013, when the oldest was 14 and the youngest 11 so you can imagine how close they are, especially because most of them dropped out of school and have no other friends outside of the industry at all. this was always very noticeable in their interactions and comfort with each other as well. then 2018 came- the year mark came of age. so, with the graduation concept, mark was the first member to graduate in 2018. they held a mini concert and it was.... devastating. the dreamies were crying pretty much half the show, the fans couldn’t stop sobbing from start to finish, they even wrote a graduation song for mark that includes honestly HEARTBREAKING lyrics and which you should definitely check out if you can!!! it was nonstop pain for us after that especially because throughout 2019 sm would NOT give us a statement about what was going to happen. technically, four members were set to graduate, but it was chaos, the dreamies themselves had No clue what was going on. there’s lots of footage of their dream show during that time where haechan said “today of all days, i miss mark the most” and all the members broke down crying and sobbing. it was heavy, we were helpless as fans and no matter how many times we asked for clarification we got nothing. until sm suddenly decided to give us an update that was essentially saying ‘yeah uhhhhh soooo let’s pretend this concept doesn’t exist dreamies will now miraculously be ot7 again ok? ok.’ and that’s essentially where this song comes from- as mentioned, dream wrote a graduation song for mark called “dear dream” which beautifully allowed each member to pay tribute to him, say thank you for everything he did, reassure him they were always gonna be there etc. and then, with their first ot7 comeback after 3 years, we got this song: rainbow, which directly quotes and responds to many of the somber lyrics in dear dream, turning their message of “i’ll never forget our past” into one of “lets make our future together”
