NCT DREAM cancels sold-out concerts after Renjun tests positive for COVID-19

NCT DREAM’s three sold-out concerts at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul have been canceled because member Renjun tested positive for COVID-19.

According to a report on Soompi, the group's agency SM Entertainment said “Renjun noticed unusual symptoms and a change in his condition [on July 27], so he used a self-test kit, and his result was positive. He therefore underwent PCR testing right away, and he was ultimately diagnosed with COVID-19.”

Renjun also received three COVID-19 vaccines. The statement said that he “is currently undergoing treatment at home in self-quarantine in accordance with the guidelines of government health authorities.”

Renjun is the second member of the group to test positive for the virus after Mark. The group had initially planned on pushing through with the concert with just six members.

“Although all of the NCT DREAM members and staff worked hard to prepare a concert that would live up to the expectations of the fans who had been waiting for this concert, we regretfully came to the unavoidable decision that within the current situation, we would not be able to put on the best possible concert, so we ask for fans’ deep and generous understanding,” the agency said. 

They added that all the tickets will be fully refunded and that details will be shared on the platform used to purchase them.

The sold-out concerts at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul were supposed to be NCT DREAM’s second solo concert. Titled “THE DREAM SHOW 2 : In A Dream,” these were scheduled for July 29 to 31.
