Boy group NCT Dream once again made it to the Billboard's '21 Under 21'. This achievement makes NCTzens (their fandom) very happy.

On November 6 , Billboard announced the list of '21 Under 21', honoring the top 21 young artists who have the most impact on the music industry for each year. The list was compiled by Billboard editors and reporters, who looked at factors such as the artist's impact on audience behavior, their career pathways and other standards. Most notably, besides American pop stars such as Billie Eilish and Noah Cyrus, NCT Dream continues to be on this list.

NCT Dream is not only the sole K-Pop artist on the 2020 list, but by entering this year's '21 Under 21', they are now the first Asian artist to make it here for three consecutive years.

Billboard said, "NCT Dream (a sub-unit of the K-Pop group NCT) experienced a first this year: Original member Mark returned, ending the band’s long-held rule that members would leave at the Korean age of 20. Prior to his return, NCT Dream led the Emerging Artists chart thanks to its EP Reload; since Mark rejoined, all seven members appeared on NCT’s second full-length, NCT Resonance Pt. 1, which hit No. 6 on the Billboard 200 (and topped the World Albums chart) and was made with the group’s NCTzens in mind."

Hopefully in the near future, NCT Dream will continue to gain more success in their music career and their hits will be more popular internationally.
