Dream’s Beat It Up drops on Nov. 17 while Wish completes its global tour; 127 enters a temporary hiatus for military service

NCT DREAM is set to release its sixth mini-album, Beat It Up, on November 17 at 6:00 PM through various music platforms, featuring a total of six tracks that explore the journey of seven members toward growth. The title track Beat It Up delivers a hip-hop vibe with a bold kick and a heavy bass, building an addictive rhythm through energetic production and rapid transitions, opening with a whispered, tight rap. The lyrics showcase DREAM’s signature energy and confidence as they push beyond the limits society sets, embracing their own path forward.

NCT WISH recently held its first concert tour, INTO THE WISH: Our Wish, at the INNC Enterprise Inspire Arena in Incheon from October 31 to November 2, drawing strong turnout across three shows. Each performance sold out, and the audience for all shows reached around 24,000, underscoring the group’s rising popularity. WISH will continue its global tour across 16 regions, including cities in Japan, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, and beyond, maintaining momentum as the unit gears up for ongoing activities.

As DREAM and WISH stay active with new releases and touring, NCT 127 is entering a military hiatus. Taeyong and Jaehyun are currently serving in the military, while Doyoung and Jungwoo enlist on the 8th of next month; Doyoung is serving as an active-duty soldier in the Army, and Jungwoo is joining the Army Band on the same day to fulfill his military duties.

Doyoung, who debuted solo in April last year, has continued engaging with fans during his service, and Jungwoo is scheduled to hold his first solo fan meeting, Golden Sugar Time, on November 28 at Seoul’s Olympic Park’s Ticketlink Live Arena before enlisting. Johnny, Yuta, and Mark, as foreign members, do not have mandatory military service and are expected to continue solo and other unit activities. Among 127, Haechan remains the member who is awaiting enlistment, with plans to pursue DREAM and solo activities until his entry.

The full 127 reunion is anticipated after Haechan’s enlistment, though the group’s hiatus is not expected to be lengthy. Taeyong is slated to be discharged on the 14th of next month, Jaehyun on May 3, 2026, and after Doyoung and Jungwoo enlist, Taeyong and Jaehyun will be discharged in sequence to fill 127’s lineup.
