• “Turning Criticism into Growth”— NCT's Maturity During Controversies Highlighted by Korean Media

    In a recent story, the Korean news network JTBC asked NCT to show more maturity.

    Haechan, an NCT member, recently got into a fight over smoking inside.

    Pictures of Haechan smoking an e-cigarette in the practice room were recently shared on a number of online groups.

    As wild rumors kept going around, Haechan's agency, SM Entertainment, revealed that he used an e-cigarette indoors in the NCT 127 choreography practice video that came out on January 10th. They also said, "The local public health center will fine him for this."

    We are going to be extra careful that this doesn't happen again.
    It would have been okay for Haechan to smoke inside if the video hadn't shown it.

    The fact that the members who were with Haechan didn't think it was a big deal makes it very possible that this wasn't the first time Haechan smoked inside.

    Besides that, Haechan has severe tonsillitis right now and has briefly stopped doing things to focus on getting better.

    When the body's defenses against infection are weak, a bacterium can cause tonsillitis, which is an acute illness.

    He does smoke, and it's not too much of an exaggeration to say that it hurts his health.

    Idols have to work around tight plans because that's part of their job, so health care is very important.

    It looks like Haechan can't avoid being criticized for not taking care of his own health.


    Some members of NCT have been in trouble before this incident, so the group has been under fire before.

    In middle school, Taeyong was accused of scamming used goods sites.

    People didn't like Jaehyun going into a restaurant and a bar in Itaewon with other male group members during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    During a livestream in December 2021, Mark, Doyoung, and Johnny were in trouble for singing the song "Earthquake" during which they received a text message about a 4.9-magnitude earthquake.
