“The night before the concert, however, the group encounters mysterious dreams, thrusting Mark, Johnny, Taeyong, Jungwoo, and Doyoung in otherworldly scenarios,” 2Z Comics shared in a statement. “This ultimately creates a reality-crossing mystery that the five members, alongside Taeil, Yuta, Jaehyun, and Haechan will unite to solve. As NCT 127 grapples with this enigma, they must overcome their fears in both the real world and this new, surreal dreamscape.”

The report further notes that the ‘Platinum Collectable Edition’ will add on one limited edition trading card, alongside a book signed by one member of NCT 127. “We’re overjoyed to unite with Z2 Comics to witness NCT 127 expand beyond the boundaries of music into graphic novels,” said NCT 127’s agency SM Entertainment. “NCT was designed as a project of unlimited potential, unrestrained by geography and formal boundaries.”

The new graphic novel is expected to launch in late summer 2023. It will be available in both English and Korean. Pre-orders are now available on the Z2 Comics website.
