NCT Dream will return to Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul for a three-date concert that will close its world tour, label SM Entertainment announced Tuesday.
The seven-member NCT subunit will host the encore concert "Finale in Seoul" from Nov. 29 to Dec. 1. The group will be hitting the same stage where it launched its tour “The Dream Show 3: Dreamscape” in May.
The band has visited eight cities in Asia, 11 in North and Latin America, and it will begin touring five across Europe from Oct. 11.
Renjun is expected to join the European leg of the tour as the label told fans Monday that he decided to fully resume activities. He took about six months off due to anxiety that stemmed from aggressive fan behavior.

In the meantime, he will take to the stage at the 2024 MAMA Awards along with Big Bang bandmates Taeyang and Daesung. The award ceremony will be held in Los Angeles on Nov. 21 and in Osaka on Nov. 22-23.
