In particular, "Cafe 7 Dream" which was opened on "April Fool's Day," is a virtual café run by NCT Dream as a whole group of seven. The reality show marked the return of their seventh member, Mark, who initially graduated from the group and was able to return due to the demands and requests of their supporters.

The news was announced through their official Instagram account, and the show was broadcasted for five days from April 1 to April 5.
In the first video released on their official YouTube channel, Jaemin and Jeno appeared as baristas, Haechan and Mark as bakers, Chenle as managers, Renjun as designers, and Jisung as resellers.
NCT Dream to Make a Comeback this April
Following their last seven-member release in 2018, the anticipation for NCT Dream's comeback after almost three years as a whole group is continuously rising!
NCT Dream debuted in 2016 with members including Mark, Renjun, Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, Chenle, and Jisung.
The group was initially made as a group following the principle of graduation system, wherein once a member reaches the age of 20, the member will naturally exit from the sub-unit and joined the other sub-groups under NCT.
Mark then graduated after the release of their album, "We Go Up" in 2018. NCTzens, the fandom of NCT then petitioned to make the group a fixed unit, containing the seven original members. In 2020, the graduation system was finally abolished by SM Entertainment.
In March, it was confirmed that NCT Dream will return sometime in April, though further details are yet to be revealed.
