Following SM Entertainment's announcement of the upcoming album, Golden Age, the internet has been filled with mixed reactions to the same.

Given that NCT DREAM is still undergoing promotions for their third album, ISTJ, fans believe that the latest announcement has interrupted the same. Additionally, the announcement was also made on the day of Jaehyun's NCT LAB song release, Horizon. Netizens also pointed out that the release of Golden Age will cut in with the September comeback that's in place for NCT 127.Health concerns have also been an issue, especially with the members of NCT DREAM. The seven-piece group has continuously been involved in projects without any solid rest. Given that Mark and Haechan are in both the DREAM and 127, many are now worried about them, along with other NCT members like Johnny, who has also not been in the best of health. ‍ ً@aesdivePraying for mahae and dream & other members as well… their schedule is hectic nct 2023 and nct nation plus the 127 cb is close as well ,, and I hope Johnny’s arm is okay now & members are healthy pic.twitter.com/Wftjkotk5l21843Praying for mahae and dream & other members as well… their schedule is hectic nct 2023 and nct nation plus the 127 cb is close as well ,, and I hope Johnny’s arm is okay now & members are healthy pic.twitter.com/Wftjkotk5lJaemin's smile 🌈@shxxgnaniinobody wants nct 2023 lmao just give us 127 and wayvnobody wants nct 2023 lmao just give us 127 and wayvfar ꩜ jaemin's month 🎀@jaemnbaeim still gonna support nct 2023 bcs they did nothing wrong. just hopes that all 20 members are well rested and healthy especially dreamies since they just barely ended istj promotions. lets support and appreciate their hardwork!5212im still gonna support nct 2023 bcs they did nothing wrong. just hopes that all 20 members are well rested and healthy especially dreamies since they just barely ended istj promotions. lets support and appreciate their hardwork!َ@haoqrlmind you…1. riize is literally bout to debut2. what about 127 ?3. mark overworked once again4. what took sm so long to make this unit again5. the solo fandoms hate each other 6. nct 2023 supposed to be at the end of the year and nobody want it frpic.twitter.com/JxBiTuOf0w42144mind you…1. riize is literally bout to debut2. what about 127 ?3. mark overworked once again4. what took sm so long to make this unit again5. the solo fandoms hate each other 6. nct 2023 supposed to be at the end of the year and nobody want it frpic.twitter.com/JxBiTuOf0w주 | #t7scomeback ✨@jeongdoyibut still sm messes up scheduling because nct 20231) cut off istj's promotion2) announced on horizon's release date3) will probably overlap with 127's sept comebackim just done with unit wars caused by poor scheduling 361127but still sm messes up scheduling because nct 20231) cut off istj's promotion2) announced on horizon's release date3) will probably overlap with 127's sept comebackim just done with unit wars caused by poor scheduling 😩z.@pianosqrwhy would they release nct 2023 the same time with riize debut?
