Gaon Chart has revealed its chart rankings for the week of February 14 to February 20!

After claiming No. 2 on last week’s chart with their 2017 single album “The First,” NCT DREAM saw two more past releases climb back up the chart this week: their 2019 mini album “We Boom” and their 2017 mini album “We Young” reentered the chart at No. 4 and No. 5 respectively.
