The much-discussed meeting between NCT's Jaemin and actor Namgoong Min has been realized. Yesterday (25th), the YouTube content 'SELF-ON KODE' posted a preview titled 'I Hate Abbreviations! -ㅇㅇ' on its official YouTube channel. The preview captured Jaemin meeting someone, attracting attention. In the video, Jaemin cheerfully greeted his code mate, saying, 'I’m Jaemin, and I’d be happy if you’re someone who doesn’t use abbreviations. Even though we haven’t met yet, nice to meet you.' He continued, 'What’s your MBTI? Maybe CUTE?' and playfully greeted his code mate with the nickname 'Juju.' However, the code mate named 'Meri' responded shortly with 'ㅇㅇ' to Jaemin’s follow-up question, 'Is it a secret?' At that moment, Jaemin changed, firmly stating, 'I hate abbreviations.' Meri panicked, saying, 'I’m really, really, really sorry.' Furthermore, Meri asked the production team, 'I used 'ㅇㅇ' to sound youthful, but don’t you use it anymore? Recently?' However, Jaemin coldly smiled and said, 'Why do you use 'ㅇㅇ'? It lacks emotion.' In relation to this, the production team heightened fans' expectations by saying, 'We waited without using abbreviations; we will properly host you.' Among this, Namgoong Min emerged as the identity of 'Meri.' In fact, Jaemin and Namgoong Min have been a hot topic as celebrities who resemble each other. Meri’s jawline, neat black suit, and voice reminded people of Namgoong Min. Net users expressed their excitement, saying, 'It’s a meeting on par with Han Gain and Kim Dong Jun.' Actress Han Gain and Kim Dong Jun also had a much-discussed meeting since Kim Dong Jun's debut. There is growing anticipation for whether Jaemin and Namgoong Min will showcase a legendary meeting of lookalike actor and idol. The meeting between Jaemin and Namgoong Min captured in 'SELF-ON KODE' will be released on Friday, the 27th at 6:30 PM.
