Wednesday, May 24, 2023Malaysian NCTzens’ dream finally came true as NCT DREAM successfully held their long-awaited The Dream Show 2 tour in Kuala Lumpur at Axiata Stadium on 20 May 2023 (Saturday), organized by Star Planet and presented by YES 5G.
Although it was not their first time visiting Malaysia, this marks NCT DREAM’s first solo concert in Malaysia ever, and it was highly anticipated as it was sold out immediately on the first day of the ticket sale.
Hours before the show started, fans have already lined up and dressed to the nines, colour-coded in mostly green as it was the official colour of the fandom.
As soon as the concert started, the whole stadium was illuminated in a green hue and the cheers echoed throughout the venue as the boys conquered the stage with their first song, ‘Glitch Mode’.
All suited in grey-black outfits, showing off their synchronized dance moves and powerful vocals, their high energy can be felt through their performance. The boys then continued performing their other singles, including Countdown (1,2,3) and Stronger.Finally, #NCTDREAM are here! 💚Starting off the show with Glitch Mode!🔥
