NCT's Renjun expressed pain over the abusive remarks of "private life fans" (Sasenpen: fans who chase celebrities' private lives). Renjun recently publicly released messages exchanged with private life fans through the communication platform "bubble." In the relevant message, it is written, "Recently, idols have become quite carefree. They earn money with money, arrange visuals with visuals, freely date in love, (yet) live like ×××, without the determination of previous generations. Just lukewarm. Also, live without a phone." Renjun responded to this, "Instead of hiding like a mouse ××× and just typing, if you have something to say, let's talk face to face with a lawyer. Contact this person and say what you want." He captured the entire exchange and posted it on "bubble," stating, "Idols are also human beings. There are difficult times! Even though you have never actually lived in a schedule that is beyond words, don't judge arbitrarily. Shouldn't the visible parts be naturally beautiful and beautiful? That's how we can all gain energy together." He further said, "And if you work hard to pursue your dreams, money will eventually come to you. Is there a profession in this world that doesn't receive money?" and advised, "Let's live our lives properly. Stop bothering people who have nothing to do with you, don't waste time... If you have such time, first learn how to calm your mind. Don't take it out on unrelated people." Fans who saw Renjun's post continued to encourage him, saying, "It must be tough," "The stress must be extraordinary," "Private life fans are really scary. Contacting someone's personal phone number is too much," "I'm no longer a fan," "It's really surprising that private life fans are admonishing." Some questioned Renjun for publicly sharing malicious messages on a communication platform for fans. Ultimately, Renjun apologized, saying, "I'm sorry. This is a place where we should have good conversations with Shizney (NCT fans), but my thoughts were shallow. Have a great day today," reflecting on his rash actions. Fans continue to support his apology. Online comments include, "After enduring for a long time, I couldn't bear it and shared a message just once. Isn't it terrible to point out, 'Was it necessary to capture and post it'?" "I think there is a proper reason for Renjun's actions," "I don't understand why that is being pointed out as 'rash behavior,'" "How much did he suffer to reach such actions?" Many fans are still concerned about Renjun's situation. *This article is based on local media coverage. ・NCT DREAM to appear on NHK's "Venue101" on April 13! ・NCT DREAM, what are the thoughts behind the new album "DREAM( )SCAPE"?
