ISTJ, the highly anticipated third full-length album by NCT DREAM, is set to release on July 17, 2023. The album’s title track shares the same name, and the pre-release track “Broken Melodies” was unveiled on June 19, 2023. With a total of 24 versions, the physical album offers fans various options to choose from, including two Photobook versions (Introvert and Extrovert), Vending Machine, seven member-specific Poster versions, seven member-specific 7DREAM QR, and seven member-specific SMini. With one week remaining until the album’s release, “ISTJ” has already doubled the final stock pre-order total of NCT DREAM’s previous studio album, “Glitch Mode,” which had approximately 2.07 million stock pre-orders last year. Stock pre-orders indicate the estimated demand for an album based on factors such as fan pre-orders and other considerations. On May 24, 2023, SM Entertainment announced that NCT DREAM would be releasing their third full-length album in July. The official release date of ISTJ was later revealed to be July 17, along with the pre-release of “Broken Melodies” on June 19.
