K-pop boy band NCT Dream treat fans to hotpot at MBS’ Haidilao after sold-out Singapore shows

SINGAPORE - K-pop boy group NCT Dream did not just electrify thousands of fans across two sold-out shows here – they also surprised them with a hotpot treat.

The septet were in town to perform at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Oct 18 and 19, as part of their

The Dream Show 4: Dream The Future tour

.

On Oct 19, after their second show, members Haechan, Jaemin and Renjun were spotted dining in a private room at popular Chinese hotpot chain Haidilao located in The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands.

In one clip, Haechan is seen greeting fans while holding up a very long receipt.

Jaemin follows behind, also holding a receipt nearly half his height.

In another video, a Haidilao staff member informs fans that the idols were covering the cost of the meals – sparking cheers and excitement throughout the restaurant.

The restaurant wrote on Instagram on Oct 20 that it was honoured to host the K-pop group.

“When the idols realised that all the customers present were their fans, they generously paid the bill for everyone on site,” said the post.

Fans who had been in the restaurant took to social media platform X on Oct 19 to thank the members for paying for their meals.

“They paid for every fan’s meals in Haidilao. Thank you. I love you,” wrote one fan in Korean.

The South Korean group were last in Singapore in June 2024 for a two-night gig.

Formed in 2016, NCT Dream comprise leader Mark and members Renjun, Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, Chenle and Jisung. They are aged 23 to 26.
