The future is bright for Filipino NCTzen as NCT Dream makes “dreams colorful in pieces.”

K-pop idol group NCT Dream is the newest brand ambassador of Filipino fashion line Penshoppe. The brand posted a 33-second video on Twitter with Mark, Renjun, Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, Chenle, and Jisung. 

NCT Dream endorses its “Color” collection, featuring pieces in “vibrant hues accentuated with polychromatic details.”

The clothing brand stated that the newest line and looks were tailor-fitted to each member’s distinct personality and personal style. 

“For the members and I, fashion is all about authentic and fearless self-expression, and we are delighted to be representing a brand like Penshoppe that fully embodies that,” Mark said. 

Further, Haechan couldn’t wait to see their Filipino fans again: “There are a lot of exciting things with Penshoppe coming their way.”

The group will visit Manila as the headlining act at the “Begin Again K-pop Edition” concert at the Araneta Coliseum on Sunday, May 29, including other artists, SHINee’s Key, WEi, and Alice.

The concert will be the group’s first in Manila since their performance at the New Frontier Theater in Feb. 2020, making them the last K-pop act to perform in the country before the pandemic occurred.

The band will release “Beatbox,” a repackaged edition of their second studio album “Glitch Mode,” which sold over 703,000 copies on its first day. 

Apart from NCT Dream, BLACKPINK’s Lisa, actors Nam Joo-Hyuk, Song Kang, Han So-hee, and Cha Eun-woo are among Penshoppe’s South Korean ambassadors.

The idol group is the third sub-unit of the South Korean boy group NCT under SM Entertainment. The group debuted in 2016 and initially was a designated unit of NCT for teenage members. They soon moved away from their youthful image in 2020 once all of the members reached the legal age in South Korea. 

NCT Dream is known for their tracks, “BOOM,” “Hot Sauce,” “Hello Future,” and “Glitch Mode.”
