This would have been NCT DREAM’s first concert with all seven members. NCT DREAM TOUR THE DREAM SHOW was NCT DREAM’s first solo group concert and included just six. The concert tour began in Seoul on November 16, 2019, and ended on February 3, 2020.

Mark has also personally updated NCTzens on his condition via the Bubble app. He reassured them and asked for the continued support of NCT DREAM’s concert, but he was upset too.
So, NCTzens are sending well wishes to Mark during this time.
