South Korean 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 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 in popular Chinese hotpot chain Haidilao located at 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.
Later that night, fans who had been in the restaurant took to social media platform X 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 group was last here 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.
