On April 4, 2024, SM Entertainment released a statement through their official Weverse page that Chenle has met with an accident for which he will not be performing with NCT DREAM for the music show appearances. Instead, he will be sitting down on stage throughout. This is done so that it can limit his movements without causing much discomfort to the artist. Although he will not be performing, the fans are sending him wishes to recover soon.

Music shows are programs where K-pop groups join to promote the new albums they release. Additionally, they also receive awards, which are based on how well the music is perceived by the audience. NCT DREAM released their latest album, DREAM( )SCAPE, on March 25, 2024, along with the music video for the title track. The album was well-received by the fans, and it garnered a lot of attention. The mini-album has a total of 7 songs, namely, Smoothie, icantfeelanything, BOX, Carat Cake, UNKNOWN, and Breathing. Smoothie is the album’s title track.
