Pinkfong and K-pop idol group NCT Dream launched their new song-swap project titled “Switch” to celebrate the first anniversary of their collaboration.
Under the “Switch” project, NCT Dream performed Pinkfong’s “Baby, T-REX” while Pinkfong covered the boy band’s “Glitch Mode” in 2D animation.
The swap-version of “Baby T-REX” and “Glitch Mode” were released on Pinkfong and NCT Dream’s YouTube channels.
The new project came as part of their beloved collaboration NCT-REX, the co-produced hit franchise of Pinkfong and NCT DREAM featuring the 2D animated characters of NCT DREAM members.
Launched in May 2021, NCT-REX has taken the world by storm as its videos have surpassed 75 million cumulative views while its special merchandise collection sold out within a week of its launch.
Featuring Pinkfong’s T-REX, the music video of this cover version follows the seven members of NCT DREAM–Mark, Renjun, Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, Chenle and Jisung--as they explore the dinosaur world and sing “Baby T-REX” with an NCT Dream twist.
In addition to “Baby T-REX”, Pinkfong will reveal the 2D animated music video of "Glitch Mode,", the main track of NCT Dream’s second full-length album, on May 25 at 7 p.m. (KST).
The music video of Pinkfong’s “Glitch Mode” will feature NCT DREAM members in 2D animated characters, diving into the game world and helping T-REX with his love problem. With classic 8-bit retro sounds and mesmerizing neon punk colors, fans will be able to enjoy the whole-new version of “Glitch Mode” with a Pinkfong twist.
“We are delighted to celebrate the first anniversary of our collaboration with NCT DREAM and offer another exceptional entertainment experience to our fans around the world,” said Ryan Seungkyu Lee, executive vice president at The Pinkfong Company.
He added, "We have explored a whole new way of partnership and built NCT-REX as one of the most significant collaborations in the K-pop scene. This marks our dedication to creating opportunities where we can bring joy to the people of all ages".
