DREAM STAGE Blu-ray Box

Behind the glamour of K-pop is a fiercely competitive world of young performers struggling to reach the top. Tomoya Nakamura stars as Jun Azuma, a once-brilliant music producer expelled from the industry after an incident. Returning to Korea, he reunites with his former girlfriend Nam Ha-yun, whose small talent agency is in serious financial trouble.

Nam borrowed five billion won to assemble a new boy group, only for her producing partner Park Ji-soo to take the selected members to Bouquet Music. Now performing as TORINNER under powerful agency chief Choi Gi-yeon, the group is already returning from a successful overseas tour, with center Ryo greeted by crowds at Incheon Airport. Left with the debt and the rejected trainees, Nam brings Azuma in to produce her remaining seven-member group, NAZE.

NAZE brings together Korea's Yoonki, Ato, Kim Geon and Dohyeok, Thailand's Turn, and Japan's Kaisei and Yuya. Azuma dismisses their dancing and warns that only one in a hundred thousand can survive in K-pop, urging them not to waste their youth. Beneath his harshness lies a painful memory. Kim Geon's desperate determination to debut sends him back into training alone, and his insistence on dreaming big gradually moves both his bandmates and the producer who has stopped believing in dreams. Their shared effort becomes a story of trust across generations and nationalities.

NAZE's members also perform and release music outside the drama. The cast includes Elaiza Ikeda, Ha Yeon-soo, Yoji Iwase, Kasumi Mori, Kim Jae-kyung and Lee Yi-kyung. NAZE performs the theme BABYBOO, a song about irreplaceable companions and pursuing a dream together.

The box contains three Blu-rays in total: two discs with all nine episodes and one bonus disc. Extras include making-of footage, a special Nakamura interview, a NAZE question-and-answer introduction, TORINNER's formation story, the production press conference, cast wrap-up footage and promotional spots. NAZE's official music and performance videos cover BABYBOO, Isn't She Lovely?, Wanderlust and Little Star; TORINNER's videos and special clips feature Top Tier and EYES ON YOU. Japanese accessibility subtitles are provided for the main episodes.
