The new music video for ‘Broken Melodies’ features shots of the K-pop boyband making calls from a photobooth that’s located on the roof of a building, with a giant pink neon sign of the song’s title behind them.

“Life is but a dream, we got history (I just wanna) / Feel the chemistry, feel you next to me (You know that I) / Hate this distance, cause I’m just left here singing / Lonely harmonies, broken melodies,” the septet sing.

The NCT sub-unit first teased the song on June 3, when theywrapped up the last of their ‘The Dream Show 2: In Your Dream’ encore concerts in Seoul. At the end of the show, the group announced that they had a special gift for fans, before unveiling the teaser for their upcoming song titled ‘Broken Melodies’.

NCT Dream’s ‘The Dream Show 2: In Your Dream’ Seoul concerts follow recent stops in Asia, Europe and North America over the first half of 2023. The group are set to bring the tour to South America this July.

Last month, SM Entertainment outlined its upcoming plans for NCT, including the release of NCT Dream’s third studio album next month, as well as a new mini-album in November.

In the same video briefing, the K-pop label shared that members Sungchan and Shotaro would be “closing their chapter with NCT”. The duo were previously introduced as NCT members in October 2020, and were featured in songs on the boyband’s studio albums, ‘NCT 2020 Resonance’ and ‘Universe’ respectively.

However, the pair did not end up joining one of NCT’s fixed sub-groups — NCT 127, NCT Dream and WayV — during their time with the boyband. Sungchan and Shotaro are now set to debut in a new boy group under SM Entertainment.
