NCT DREAM released the music video for “Beat It Up” through the SMTOWN channel on 17 November 2025. It is the title track of a six-song album carrying the same name.

The group that was designed to graduate

NCT DREAM began in 2016 under a rule that has since been dropped: members were meant to leave when they reached adulthood, keeping the line-up permanently teenaged. Mark did exactly that at the end of 2018, and the group carried on without him for over a year. In 2020 SM Entertainment abandoned the graduation concept and Mark returned, fixing the seven as a permanent unit. Few K-pop groups have had their membership rewritten this publicly, and the reversal is why Korean fans still date DREAM releases as before or after the change.

About this release

Watching from outside Korea

SMTOWN is SM Entertainment’s shared channel rather than a group-specific one, so DREAM videos sit alongside every other act on the roster. Subtitles are usually added within a day or two; check the settings menu if none appear at first.
