NCT DREAM also appeared on MBC’s Music Core as well where Haechan and Renjun were brought to tears while performing their B-Side track “Graduation.”
When NCT DREAM debuted, it was announced the group operated on a “graduation system,” meaning when a member became an adult, they would leave the subunit. This concept caused a lot of heartbreak for the group and their fans, with members crying on stage during concerts over the thought of being separated.
Not long after fans began their movement to abolish the system, NCT DREAM were announced to be a fixed unit, and Mark was added back to the line-up.
During content released to promote their comeback, NCT DREAM discussed how the word graduation had a negative context, but the release of “Graduation” would create a new meaning for the word.

During the performance on Music Core, as the group sang the heartfelt song, Renjun could be seen tearing up and attempting to cover up the fact that he began crying.
Fans also noticed that Haechan also shed tears and used a moment of the choreography to hide his face.
