Like on NCT 127 tracks member Mark participated on some of the tracks on the We Young mini album, he helped write the lyrics for La La Love, (Walk You Home), My Page and Trigger The Fever.

We Young peaked at No.2 on the Gaon Albums Chart, No.23 on the Oricon Albums Chart and at No.3 on the Billboard World Albums Chart.
Gaon Sales:
214,310+
Oricon Sales:
3,579+
Totalling 217,889+ copies sold.
The Korean M/V for We Young has so far gained 5,864,199 million views and the Chinese M/V has so far gained 323,910 thousand views, giving the M/V a combined view total of 6,188,109 million views, with the views continuing to grow.

The mini album is set out in a rectangle hardback book style case with the Cd at the front of the album and the photo booklet following. The theme for the mini album follows a summery and colourful theme with a beach set up for a majority of the pictures, the styling follows a youthful image having the boys in sailor outfits like the M/V as well as a mature dressed up style and a relaxed lounging style. The album also comes with a random member photocard.

Track List:
We Young
La La Love
같은 시간 같은 자리 (Walk You Home)
My Page
We Young (Chinese Ver.)
[Bonus Track] Trigger The Fever


































To be honest when I first heard the track We Young I was a little disappointed but it wasn't because I disliked the song, it was because to me it sounded too childlike even for maknae Jisung. I always feel slightly uncomfortable when I see Mark and Haechan doing cutesy concepts like We young and Chewing Gum as I see them doing more mature concepts with NCT 127, but I'm glad SM still allow Mark to participate on the NCT Dream tracks. Overall the mini album has more of a mature feel which fits all of their ages. I love the whole concept of the mini album, the colours are really pretty and the members looked like they had fun creating this album and most of all I LOVE Jisung's blue hair and I couldn't help noticing that Haechan went back to red hair after watching him saying that his hair was bright red for NCT 127' Limitless and no one really got to see it as he was always wearing hats for the promotions. We Young is definitely my favourite album from NCT Dream.
Check out the mini albums tracks below.

As we get closer to the end of the year only time will tell what the future holds for NCT Dreams line-up, will Mark have left NCT Dream when they next make their comeback and will Jaemin have made his return back to the group, or will we get 2 completely new members debuting in the group. I enjoy that we get to watch the NCT Dream members grow up with their music and can I just say how puberty has seriously hit Jisung like a tonne of bricks in the space of a year, I may have a sister complex towards him but his voice is so deep now I feel like a proud big sister watching him grow and mature in front of our eyes.
