More about Renjun and NCT DREAM's recent activities
Renjun had previously taken a break from the group in April due to worsening health and anxiety-related symptoms. While he briefly returned in August for NCT DREAM's single Rains in Heaven, his participation remained limited, as doctors advised against long tour schedules.
However, with his full recovery confirmed, fans can expect the idol to actively participate in all of NCT DREAM's upcoming events. Due to health concerns, the singer-dancer had to sit out of NCT DREAM's THE DREAM SHOW 3: DREAM()SCAPE concerts in the US earlier this year.
For those unfamiliar, NCT DREAM is the third sub-unit of the larger NCT boy group, consisting of seven members: Mark, Renjun, Jeno, Haechan, Chenle, Jaemin, and Jisung. Debuting in August 2016 under SM Entertainment, the group has been touring globally on its 2024 NCT DREAM WORLD TOUR.
The tour started with performances in major cities like Seoul, Osaka, Tokyo, and Bangkok, and the members are now heading to Europe. The group's next stops include Rotterdam, Netherlands, on October 30 and Copenhagen, Denmark, on November 3, 2024.
As the group prepares for its European leg, fans eagerly anticipate the artist's return to the stage after his hiatus.
