본문
NCT‘s Taeyong is receiving lots of praise for his treatment of the SM Rookies at SMTOWN LIVE 2022, which is leading to speculation over whether they will debut as NCT Tokyo or not.
At the SMTOWN LIVE concert in Korea, Taeyong went viral for getting “angry.” According to fans who were there, he had been frustrated to find out that the SM Rookies, Shoehei, Eunseok, and Seunghan, were not being allowed to join the “Hope” stage, which all SM Entertainment artists were singing together.

He was even seen looking for them afterward, gaining praise for being so thoughtful. NCTzens were sure that he was going to make a major complaint to SM Entertainment.

…which fans took to mean that Taeyong had made himself be heard. After all, he was seen paying plenty of attention to them throughout the three-day concert—much like a caring leader!

And it wasn’t just Taeyong. The rookies already seem to be assimilating into NCT as various members “adopt” them, including Yuta and Kun, as well as Sungchan and Shotaro, who performed together with them.

The rookies have also reportedly been hanging out with Jungwoo and Doyoung.

But of course, Taeyong definitely appears to have been the most solicitous member. When he took pictures of them onstage it was hard not to see him as the “Mom”!
