C9 Entertainment's rookie boy group NAZE is attracting attention from viewers both domestically and internationally with their drama debut work, "DREAM STAGE." Following its successful broadcast on Japan's terrestrial broadcaster TBS, the full group appearance of "DREAM STAGE" will premiere on tvN at 12:15 AM on the 27th.

"DREAM STAGE" depicts the intense training process and strict rules endured by trainees dreaming of debuting. NAZE members Kaisei, Yoon-gi, Ato, Turn, Yuya, Kim Gun, and Dohyuk show a united front aiming to become K-pop artists in the drama. Their journey, which parallels their actual upcoming debut, creates immersive engagement by blurring the lines between fiction and reality.

The first episode of "DREAM STAGE" ranked 2nd in the daily rankings on Japan's OTT service TVer shortly after its release on the 18th. As of the 24th, it surpassed 2.01 million views. TVer is Japan's largest OTT platform, with 44.6 million monthly users, 650 million monthly video views, and 200 million connected TV views. These achievements prove the high popularity of "DREAM STAGE."

"DREAM STAGE" is also confirmed for tvN programming. NAZE's all-around charm is expected to reach living rooms both domestically and internationally. The OST "Wanderlust," which NAZE directly participated in singing, and the theme song "BABYBOO" have also received favorable reviews. NAZE drew attention from K-pop fans by performing live versions of these two songs at Japan's largest fashion festival "TGC," the illumination event "Blue Cave SHIBUYA," and local mini live shows.

NAZE will hold the "DREAM STAGE" showcase tour at Tokyo Ebisu LIQUIDROOM on February 6, Osaka Namba Hatch on the 11th, and Zepp Fukuoka on the 26th. Through this, they will meet global fans offline.

Having proven their complete skill set through active pre-debut activities, NAZE recently expanded their influence by receiving love calls from major Japanese brands. They also appeared on many flagship TBS variety shows such as "SASUKE 2025," "Sekai Kurabete Mitara," "Door x Door Quest," and "Watanabe Naomi's 0-Night Vacation."

TBS Friday drama "DREAM STAGE" airs on tvN every Tuesday at 12:15 AM. It is also available on the Japan culture specialty channel Channel J and the OTT platform TVING.
