K-pop sensation, NCT DREAM have released their new album, ISTJ – The 3rd Album today via Virgin Music. In addition to its release today, ISTJ – The 3rd Album is arriving as a physical album on August 18th. Listen to it now below.
The album is named after one of the sixteen Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality types, a popular online personality test taken by millions of people each year. ISTJ – The 3rd Album is made up of 10 songs, including the album’s title track. “ISTJ,” composed and written by hit-maker KENZIE, is a hybrid hip-hop/dance track with a narrative of getting to know someone for who they truly are as a person instead of relying on MBTI personality types to define them. The album also features the song “Like We Just Met” where all seven members have co-written the lyrics together.
ISTJ – The 3rd Album surpassed 4.1 million pre-orders, breaking NCT DREAM’s previous record held by the group’s second full album Glitch Mode (2 million pre-orders).
The group’s latest single, “Broken Melodies,” followed NCT DREAM’s first-ever English single “Beatbox” which was re-released in March – the original version was featured on the group’s second full length repackage album.
The 7-member group most recently wrapped their first ever U.S. headline tour which stopped in Newark, Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles and Seattle. The U.S. dates were a part of the group’s ‘THE DREAM SHOW2 : In A DREAM’ Tour, which concluded with a run in Latin America this month.
