Finally! 🐹 Driving Lessons with NCT DREAM | DREAM x DREAM

What happened

Jisung, who had not driven for roughly five years after getting his license, takes refresher driving lessons from Jeno using a red Porsche convertible in an NCT DREAM-produced variety video.

Why Koreans care

“Jangnong myeonheo,” literally “a license kept in the wardrobe,” is the standard Korean expression for someone who holds a driver’s license but has little or no real driving experience. The comedy is intensified by the mismatch between the cautious refresher-lesson format and an extravagant open-top sports car. The episode also uses a familiar Korean idol-content dynamic: the younger member experiences an adult milestone under the supervision of a dependable older member, turning driving practice into a continuation of NCT DREAM’s long-running grow-up-together narrative.

In the Korean comments

Majority: Commenters repeatedly emphasize the absurd luxury of giving a dormant-license beginner a Porsche convertible. “Respect to the in-house content team for having the courage to lend a Porsche to someone with a jangnong license,” and “Jisung may be the only hamster who takes driving lessons in a Porsche.” Fandom: Fans read the lesson through Jeno’s established image as a calm, reliable older member rather than merely judging Jisung’s driving. “Look at him bringing the stable type who seems least likely to get angry while teaching,” and “The moment Jeno started driving, everything suddenly became reassuring.” Fandom: Some viewers treat the episode as another chapter in Jisung’s coming-of-age relationship with the older members. “Because Jisung debuted so young, I really love this story of sharing his first experiences with the older members and learning from them.”

What the words mean

“Jangnong license” does not mean an expired or invalid license; it jokingly means a valid license that has sat unused so long it might as well have been stored in a wardrobe. “Hamster” and “Samoyed” in the comments are fandom animal shorthand for Jisung and Jeno, while “self-produced content team” refers to the staff making the group’s own variety content, not content Jisung filmed by himself.
