NCT Dream, the third subunit of Neo Culture Technology, unveiled both Korean and Chinese versions of the music video for its debut single “Chewing Gum” on Aug. 24.
Within less than a day of the release, the group’s official YouTube videos received a total of over 1 million views.
The latest group from entertainment agency S.M. Entertainment, NCT Dream consists of seven boys -- Mark, Renjun, Jeno, Hae-chan, Jae-min, Chenle, and Ji-sung -- between the ages of 14 and 17.

Boasting a youthful and playful spirit, the single and the group have gotten mixed reviews from online fans, some of whom have expressed discomfort with the young age of the members.
The three NCT subunits include members from various countries, including Korea, China, Japan and the US.
After its first television appearance on Mnet’s music program “M Countdown” on Aug. 25, NCT Dream will release “Chewing Gum” on local music platforms on Aug. 27.
