Who is known for having 'small appetites' but absolutely insane taste when it comes to picking desserts? That would be NCT DREAM! Following their comeback last Nov with the track 'Beat it Up,' the 'reverse tribute' gifts they prepared were honestly amazing. They hand-picked items from the hottest dessert spots in Seoul. It’s enough to make anyone jealous of the NCTzens who got to taste these treats filled with the Dreamies' love. 🤤 We’ve rounded up the dessert spots chosen by the boys. Even if you missed the chance to get a gift in person, don't be disappointed. When you visit Seoul, you can still head to these spots and try them for yourself!
Yeokjogong (reverse tribute) is a unique K-pop fandom culture where idols give gifts to their fans to show appreciation and love.
