(Updated May 2020)
This is a list of special stages that NCT Dream has done for various music shows, end of the year specials, etc. (as a whole or with multiple members/units) They’re usually covers of other artists’ songs, but they can be remixes or special versions of their own songs. Not all end of year performances are included because they usually perform the same songs – these are the ones that I feel have interesting staging or dance breaks.
Some members have done special stages alone with members of other groups; in these cases, you can find those videos under the member profile page.
Any performance that involves other NCT subunits will be on the NCT Special Stages page. This is JUST for NCT Dream!
NOTE: Since I have moved to Korea, I have discovered that some Korean TV Channels do not upload the same idol performances to Korean YouTube. This can be music shows, but it can also be awards shows and special performances. So if I’ve missed something, it’s because I literally cannot watch or find it to link here. – Katherine
