A crew of four private astronauts made history in the early hours of Thursday when they opened the hatch of their SpaceX Dragon capsule and conducted the first commercial spacewalk.

Only two of the four crew members actually exited the vehicle, but all four had to don the new SpaceX-made suits because the Dragon capsule doesn’t have an airlock.

NCT Dream reveals tour must-haves, pre-show routines and how they relax after a concert

In a new series,  USA TODAY’s The Essentials , celebrities share what fuels their lives.

Don't sleep on NCT Dream and its success.

When the septet debuted in 2016, the K-pop group's members were teenagers, influenced by the concept of "youth" while navigating their personal aspirations in the spotlight.

Nearly eight years later, the guys have matured and come into their own, developing a signature style and garnering worldwide recognition. Last year alone, NCT Dream placed No. 6 on the IFPI Global Top 10 Album Chart, won top awards in South Korea and embarked on a global tour across 26 cities, including in the U.S.

NCT Dream will make its way back to the states this year – starting Sept. 12 – for seven stops on its third world tour, including in New York, California and Washington D.C.

"Just getting ready for the concert itself is a thrill, and we're very excited to be able to come up with a brand new concert," says the group's leader Mark , 24.

On a late-night Zoom call prior to The Dream Show 3: Dream()scape tour's kickoff in Seoul, NCT Dream's members spilled on their routines and performance go-to.

How NCT Dream preps for a performance

Everyone has their own way to get hype before a concert, including NCT DREAM's members: Mark, Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, Chenle, Jisung and Renjun (who was absent from this interview).

Jisung , 22, says one of his go-to pump-up songs is " City Lights " by Avicii, while Jaemin , 23, says his playlist puts a "zen mode" before hitting the stage.

For Jeno , 24, there's usually a lot on his mind before a performance. Instead of listening to music, he tends to put on his headphones and play nothing. "I like to block all the sound out, to stay still and to empty my mind."

As part of his pre-show routine, Chenle , 22, watches interviews of late basketball player Kobe Bryant , "on every tour, before every concert."

"It gets me pumped up for the concert and ready to put on great performance," he says.

Exclusive interview: NCT Dream on their first US tour, growth and milestones

How NCT Dream relaxes after a show

Before a performance, Chenle takes precautions toward his health, including taking vitamins. Especially after a show, he uses products to prevent vocal issues and alleviate any strain since his voice gets "really hoarse."

Jeno also prioritizes his well-being on tour. "I always like to take a shower and I always make sure I use cold water at the end, especially because we're using our bodies a lot for shows and it really tires out our muscles," he says.

Haechan , 23, usually winds down by taking a warm bath and occasionally drinks some wine.

Sleep is key for the all group's members, but Jisung often find himself staying up late after a show.

"I'm on my phone all night," he says. "I want to learn how to relax."

What does NCT Dream do during downtime?

When the guys have a chance for free time on tour, they still spend it together.

"I like taking pictures. I'm not a professional, (but) I like to see the scenery and everything. Having a nice walk every once in a while is good in a different city," Mark says.

"We get to see a lot of different architecture in each city and that's another thing I like to look out for while we go out and take pictures," says Jaemin.

An avid basketball fan, Chenle keeps his sneakers on hand wherever he goes. "I've played basketball in pretty much every city we've been to so far," he says, adding how Mark usually plays pickup with him.

But each member uses his personal time-off differently.

"One of my most important essentials is my laptop so I can play games," says Haechan. "I can go outside during downtime but that makes me use up more energy. So I prefer to stay indoors … It's like me-time."

Jisung enjoys watching other K-pop artists' music videos, as well as some of the other content they have on their channels.

NCT Dream tour must-have items

Jaemin lists several must-haves for tour: wireless headphones, perfume, hydration cream, a Thai product for sinus relief, vitamins and an energy drink to name a few.

Chenle says his good luck charms for a great performance are the friendship ring that he shares with his members, plus his watch. "I have to put it on as soon as I wake up; there's like a routine," he says.

Besides his headphones, Mark's other must-have isn't tangible – it's his concentration.

"I always remember to bring myself," he says.

MEXICO CITY — It was Monday in Mexico City , an unusual day for a K-pop concert, but being the beginning of the week didn’t stop 10,000 fans from flocking to the Palacio de los Deportes to see NCT DREAM, who are back in the country for the third time.

Mexican fans were buzzing with excitement, transforming the area into a sea of neon green to celebrate NCT DREAM’s return to Mexico with "THE DREAM SHOW 3: DREAM( )SCAPE" nearly 11 months after their last visit. With high expectations, the crowd eagerly anticipated the same incredible energy they had experienced at previous concerts.

Growing up together

September is a big month for Mexico and this year it's especially special with the NCT DREAM concert coinciding in the same week of Independence Day celebrations. The festive atmosphere inspired NCTzens, the official fandom of NCT, to get creative with their outfits, incorporating patriotic themes into their attire. Fans donned lightsticks adorned with charro hats and adapted traditional Mexican costumes into the group's official neon green colors, giving NCT DREAM a warm and culturally vibrant welcome.

Even with several hours remaining before the doors opened, NCTzens were already lined up outside the iconic venue, arriving early in anticipation. Mostly young women, some accompanied by their families, they held signs, flags, and other eye-catching items to stand out in the crowd. They were eager to demonstrate their enthusiasm and engagement, excited to share this new chapter of their lives with the group.

NCT DREAM debuted in 2016 as a unit of NCT, with the idea that they might move to another unit once they came of age. Although Mark, the group’s leader, left in 2018, he returned in 2020, which led to a shift in their concept to keep the group together.

Some Mexican fans have followed NCT DREAM since their debut, witnessing their growth and development as artists. For these fans, NCT DREAM represents a significant part of their lives, and they are committed to being present for every milestone in the group's journey.

Jasmine, a 20-year-old from Mexico, has been a fan of Jisung since she was 10. “The first time he came, I lined up at 3 a.m. Every time they come, I try to be there because I promised myself I would always be his fan. I went through a lot of bullying as a child, which led to depression. Jisung was my only support. It’s my way of thanking him for always being my source of happiness and hope. Thanks to him, I’ve grown closer to my family. I’m going to support him in every way I can,” she recalled, her voice breaking as she shared this with Kmagazine.

Jasmine has had the chance to interact with Jisung during the previous two visits of NCT DREAM to Mexico and hopes to continue this tradition during their third visit. She’s even prepared a charro hat with Jisung’s name on it, which she plans to give him at the concert.

Despite having an eight-year history, NCT DREAM’s fanbase is notably young, mirroring the members themselves, who are between 22 and 25 years old. Their path to making a name for themselves in the K-pop industry at such a young age has inspired and given hope to many other young people.

This dedication has touched fans across the globe. For example, two 16-year-old sisters from Costa Rica traveled with their family to see NCT DREAM. They spent four months planning the trip and their parents were thrilled, saying, "We’re very happy because it’s all about making them happy and giving them a great experience."

Unstoppable energy

At 8 p.m., the Palacio de los Deportes was illuminated by a sea of approximately 10,000 fans waving neon green lightsticks, according to Ocesa, the production company for the Mexican concert. The fans swiftly took their seats, ready to greet NCT DREAM with such fervent screams that it felt as though they might never have the chance to use their voices again.

Dressed in fitted black suits adorned with studs and a few red accents, Mark, Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, Chenle and Jisung took the stage in Mexico with an explosion of energy. They kicked things off with “BOX,” “SOS” and “GO,” ramping up the excitement.

The intensity of the screams hit a new level during their initial greeting. The cheers were so loud that the members' words were sometimes lost in the noise, especially when they shared how much they missed their fans. “We came back after a year just to see you,” Mark said, triggering an even louder wave of euphoria from the crowd.

For the entire two and a half hours of the concert, the screaming never ceased and neither did NCT DREAM’s energy. The band kept the fans jumping and singing as if there was no tomorrow.

Their versatility as artists was on full display in a setlist that ranged from early hits like “Drippin” and “We Go Up” to ballads such as “Never Goodbye” and “Breathing.” This impressive mix highlighted their exceptional vocal skills and solidified their status as standout K-pop artists.

NCT DREAM’s versatility extends beyond their music to their dynamic stage presence, which they characterize with three key concepts: “Cute,” “Hello Future” and “Sexy.” When Mark asked the Mexican fans which concept they preferred, the cheers and applause revealed equal support for all three. Over their eight-year career, the group has evolved alongside these concepts and Mark announced that their next comeback will embrace all three facets.

The highlight of the night came when they brought their most colorful and fun energy to songs like “Yogurt Shake” and “Candy.” Their cover of the H.O.T. classic was the crowd’s favorite, with the most enthusiastic chanting of the evening. Even after nearly two hours, the energy remained high with singles like “Fireflies,” “Broken Melodies,” “Skateboard,” “ISTJ” and “Smoothie.”

Promise of coming back as seven

Mexico is the final stop for NCT DREAM on their Latin American leg of “THE DREAM SHOW 3: DREAM()SCAPE” tour, wrapping up after stops in Colombia, Brazil and Chile.

Even though they were already familiar with the high energy and enthusiasm of their Mexican fans, the members couldn’t help but express their amazement. They repeatedly thanked their fans in Spanish for their unwavering support throughout the tour.

Chenle described the concert in Mexico as “an unforgettable moment,” while Jisung said the Mexican fans “are always more than I imagined.”

The feeling was mutual. As the boy band prepared for the final set, the venue’s screen displayed posters that the audience had specially created for the occasion.

One poster, written entirely in Korean, read, “I graduated from university thanks to NCT.” Another said, “7DREAM, thank you for being a part of my youth.”

Many of the posters were dedicated to Renjun, a member who has been on a break since April due to health issues and anxiety. Messages for Renjun included, “My Renjun, it’s not your fault. Please remember that I’m here for you,” “Please tell Renjun we miss him,” and “Renjun, take care. I will always wait for you.”

As the show neared its end, NCT DREAM returned to the stage one last time in white suits to perform their latest English single, “Rains in Heaven.” After singing “ANL” and sharing their final thoughts with the audience, they closed the concert with “Like We Just Met,” marking a bittersweet farewell to their fans.

Before saying their final goodbye, the boys promised to return to Mexico with all seven members and a refreshed version of NCT DREAM.

As they progress through their eight-year career, NCT DREAM carries with them the unforgettable memories from their third world tour. From Mexico, they leave with not only the love and warmth of their fans but also symbols of their unwavering loyalty. Among these is the charro hat Jasmine prepared for Jisung, which she finally had the chance to give him at the end of the concert.

The group will continue their tour in the United States throughout September and in Europe in October and November, wrapping up with an encore concert in Seoul from Nov. 29 to Dec. 1.

With a breakout hit across international charts this summer, KISS OF LIFE is ready to take an explosive year to the next level with their first-ever world tour.

“We love the song ‘Sticky,’ so it was really an honor for it to get into the charts,” says Julie, the group’s dynamic leader who was born in Hawaii, speaking to Billboard for their first-ever interview with an international outlet. “We really put a lot of effort into the choreography and also the music itself, so it’s exciting to see our hard work paying off. All of us were just hugging each other when we found out the news .”

Seattle-raised Belle, who previously worked as a songwriter for other top K-pop groups, believes their authenticity plays a massive role in why global fans connect to them: “We honestly try to be ourselves in all the music we release. By being authentic, I think our fans and listeners are able to resonate more with the excitement we feel when we sing and perform.”

Youngest member Haneul, born and raised in Korea, adds that the KIOF members’ diverse backgrounds fuel their artistry. “We just respect each other,” the 19-year-old says. “We acknowledge our differences and the path we went through to get here, so that makes us learn from each other and grow.”

Get to know KISS OF LIFE’s Julie, Natty, Belle, and Haneul as the members share more about their process, viewpoint, world tour plans and messages to their fans affectionately known as Kissys, alongside exclusive photos below.

I want to begin by congratulating you on earning your first Billboard  chart entries with “Sticky.” What were your reactions?!

Julie: We couldn’t believe it! We love the song “Sticky” so it was really an honor for it to get into the charts. We were so happy that people were liking it as much as us and we felt so grateful! We really put a lot of effort into the choreography and also the music itself, so it’s exciting to see our hard work paying off. All of us were just hugging each other when we found out the news; as hard as we worked, we also know that we really couldn’t have done it without the support of our fans—love you, Kissys!

KISS OF LIFE has been rising since your debut last July, but “Sticky” has been a real breakout: Top 10 in Korea, charting in the U.S., your biggest hits on Billboard ‘s Global charts. What do you think are some factors that made this such a hit?

Belle: I think we honestly try to be ourselves in all the music we release. By being authentic, I think our fans and listeners are able to resonate more with the excitement we feel when we sing and perform as well. I feel like this song, in particular, really suited all the members, and you could feel that all the members were just having fun and enjoying themselves while recording and performing the song. Also, in regards to the visuals and performance, we focused on just feeling ourselves and being confident which fits well with summer. I mean, it is summer, why not have a little fun with it?!

Natty: We wanted to show everyone our translation of summer! The cool and refreshing side as well as the hot! We just wanted to send good vibes and make sure everyone could enjoy the summer with us. Both “Sticky” and “Te Quiero” are actually our interpretations of summer: “Sticky” would be the exciting, fun aspect of summer where you enjoy yourself to the fullest; “Te Quiero” would be the cooler, more chill and relaxing version of summer that is equally enjoyable. I don’t think we had some mastermind plan of what we wanted to show with these tracks. We just genuinely wanted everyone to enjoy the music while enjoying their summer. You work hard, you play harder!

“Te Quiero” is also significant as another English B-side track, just like “Nobody” with “Midas Touch.” Is there a more prominent reason to include these tracks, and even the English version of “Bad News,” in your larger plans as a group?

Julie: Of course! We always want to keep our international fans a big part of our music. For the Kissys all around the world, we want to continue to make music that everyone can enjoy and listen to. We are adamant in making sure our international fans know that they play a big role in our music. Again, we don’t have a master plan on how or a larger picture that we are strategizing for. We really just want everyone to feel included with our music, wherever they are and whoever they are. We just want to make music that everyone can enjoy and listen to without overcomplicating things. 

Have you begun preparations and rehearsals for your Kiss Road World Tour? What are you looking forward to the most?

Natty: Well, we are actually pretty confident in our performing ability so fans can expect a show with high energy. We love what we do and we are blessed with so many people supporting us while we do what we love. In return, we want to give them the best version of us, so I hope they will all look forward to it. 

Something I always respected about KISS OF LIFE is that you shared yourselves via solo songs from your debut album. Will we get to see more solo stages on tour? 

Belle: Don’t want to give too many spoilers so…I think we can say, “maybe?!” We’ve prepared some new stages so make sure you stay tuned for it.

With that, KISS OF LIFE has also become known for your covers. Your Brown Eyed Girls “Sixth Sense” cover was even officially released, and you’ve done songs by 2NE1, Ciara, Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj, BLACKPINK, Doja Cat, the list goes on…any special or new covers for tour?

Julie: We always sing, rap, and dance to so many different artists on a daily [basis], so hopefully, we get the opportunity to showcase it to everyone on tour. We just love all different styles and categories of music. For us right now it’s being versatile enough to explore many different types of music and to experiment with sounds so we [can] create our own specific style. There are days we focus on singing, other days we rap, and days we only dance, but we are always working to improve ourselves, so I hope we have the opportunity to showcase it for the world to see! 

The four of you came from very different backgrounds and debuted as adults. Sometimes, it can be difficult for adults to pursue their dreams or even make new friends. How did you all connect and learn from each other to make KISS OF LIFE work as cohesively as it is?

Do you have any other messages for international fans waiting to meet you?

Julie: We always want to say thank you so much for sending your love and support. Although we may be far distances, our hearts are always near! We can’t wait to meet everyone in person and I hope the time comes fast. Love you guys so much and see you soon!!!
