During promotions for NCT DREAM‘s third studio album ISTJ, Jaemin’s TikTok videos were allegedly filmed only on the filming sites of the MV set or concerts. NCTzens found this strange as other members have filmed at other locations and with other artists. Yet, Jaemin himself has mentioned filming challenges with others during Star Chatting Event sessions.

Yet, it appears he has been given the least lines and parts in participation for recent group comebacks such as NCT 2023 – Golden Age and 2023 NCT Concert – NCT Nation : To The World.
“member with the least lines on ALL albums” like for the ENTIRETY of his career? And people want us to be chill with it??? he’s treated like this as an idol yet he’s not even allowed to go in other fields?

NCTzens also couldn’t help but notice that Jaemin’s poster for the 2023 NCT Concert – NCT Nation : To The World was unlike the others but not in the way you would expect. Everyone had a unique concept photo for their respective poster but Jaemin.
honestly, I know I’m not the only one who thought they were uploading the same pictures as the ones in the poster just to find out they uploaded a different one after seeing this.. why is it always Jaemin tho from his own group to even the brand as a whole lmfao pic.twitter.com/K6hIrRHLZi

There have even been instances where Jaemin was excluded from a poster and VCR. Haechan has explained that in the case of the VCR, they were sick with COVID-19 and could not film.

Despite Jaemin being a member of SM Entertainment‘s actor line that was awarded “Best Actor – Korean Award” for the web drama Way to Dislike at The 2020 Seoul Webfest Awards, he has been given no acting opportunities since. NCTzens are confused, considering other NCT members have since starred in drama series.

Likewise, Jaemin has not accepted any brand deals. Considering his popularity, this is also peculiar to NCTzens.
seeing the tl talking about wanting jm partnering with brands and going to big events made me feel a certain way… am i the only one who finds kinda that thee na jaemin with all the beauty and elegance he has and all the numbers he pulls haven’t got brand ambassadorship deals?

There are even alarming concerns about Jaemin’s styling. Besides being given little to no accessories and repetitive styling, Jaemin also often appears to be given shoes and clothing, including pants that are too big for his size. Considering the group’s choreography, this is dangerous for an artist, potentially resulting in injury.

excluding him on vcrs & posters, putting his teasers on a thread instead of a new tweet, giving him loose shoes that could harm him if not given a proper ACTION. hes not working hard to get disrespected like this
