Taeyong got popular because he had a scandal as they were introduced first as SM Rookies. Antis have tried to make him out to be since before he even debuted.The truth is that he was the victim of bullying. And his trauma from it was so extreme that his homeroom teacher and his parents sent him to grandmother's house for a month to recover. Taeyong being defame for 6yrs from rookie days until day he proven he is not bully by Dispatch. Dispatch literally proved the claims against him were fake. I'm so upset he had to apologize for something he didn't even do just because SM didn't take care of the rumors properly. I can see he still feels regretful about certain things and that's probably why he still went along with the apology, but they should of at least clarified this sooner, instead of making him go through so much emotional burden with all the hate he was getting for no reason. He even said "It must be hard for the fans to like me" BOYYY, WE LOVE YOU. It still breaks my heart, seeing him so hurt. Bubu has been through so much. Yet he stayed so strong. He even didn't want to sue the informant because they were his classmate, he's so kind
Honestly he got popular since the day his pic was dropped in SM Rookies acc, because of his insane visual. That’s why people called him “everyone’s first love”
@@nadyas1750 That's right, he already appeared in some of his senior's MV. Everyone recognized him for his manga-like face and waited for his debut. But everything turned upside down when he was about to debut. The scandal came out, many people believed it was true. Especially SM's response which told Taeyong to apologize without explaining what happened. As a result many people believed that and wanted him out of the group. Thankfully the rumors have been proven wrong and all this has passed 😭
They interviewed one of the people behind the documentary, and they said they had to Disney-ify Taeyong’s childhood a lot, and that it was one of the most traumatic of all the members. It really breaks my heart looking back on what he’s had to go through, and I just sincerely wish for his happiness.
Taeyong was not only bullied in school but was also bullied as a trainee. SM teachers would expect more than 100% only from Taeyong and publicly reprimand him when he made mistakes. Other trainees have testified to this and refer to Taeyong as a legendary trainee. I understand that this is probably because they saw his potential as a great performer and leader and thus expected more, but it had to be so humiliating and difficult. Also, NCTzens themselves have said and done horrible things even directly to his face. Early on, there were fans who would purposely skip his table at fan meets. Throughout it all, I've been so impressed with how strong he is and how maturely he's handled it. And I also love that he is not afraid to let himself be vulnerable when he is struggling. He reflects and tries to be honest with himself. I think this is admirable and very healthy. It is also evident that Taeyong is fiercely devoted to his team. He has an almost extreme sense of responsibility to his members, whom he considers truly and forever family. It is certainly in part because of the pressure (negative and positive) from SM and fans but also because of the kind of person he is. I have seen him hold up his team above himself many times. It feels like he really would lay down his life for them. I'm not saying that he is completely selfless, but I hope you sense what I mean. Taeyong has his own identity as a person and an artist, but I also feel that NCT IS Taeyong. Sorry for the essay; guess I'm feeling sentimental or something. 😅
I don't think people notice how often he quietly takes a backseat to the others or says encouraging things to them in the background not to be heard but to make someone feel better. Seeing him leap to the side to let Heachan center and do that memorable move in the Fact Check chorus that TY himself choreographed is the perfect example. I don't know many people who would give up a moment like that. He seems to be relinquishing center position a lot lately, perhaps to prepare us and the band for his absence. He treats his fans like family, too. His loving Bubble messages are sometimes so poetic and inspiring that I can't believe he took the time to think about us that way. I admire him as a person, not just as an idol. Maybe the hardships taught him humility and empathy.
the thing that makes me sad is that taeyong doesn't realize how strong he is, and it's because of what he had to go through with some people who kept telling him that he wasn't enough. i hope those people know how wrong they were for making a person feel so bad about himself
i am trully happy when i hear you say a lot of good things about Taeyong because that's how we feel about him, he deserves more love and kindness🥺 Thank you, Caitlin.
they actually said that to him (ty). that pressure. i believe it was in his own bubble that he opened up about that. also, dream also had a documentary. i believe, wayv needs to have a documentary too
Bubu really breaks my heart. all his efforts for the team and members and all his hard work is so visible and palpable, and it angers me when i see even fans act like he is not doing enough or blame him for things that he has no control over, or constantly ask things of him, but when it comes to supporting him they vanish. he may have regrets and feel like he could have done better in some aspects, we all do at some point, but he never stopped doing his best for the team. i wish i could just give him a big warm hug. i hope he gets the support he needs, because i feel like leaders can sometimes be overlooked in this aspect. they need to be taken care of too 🥺 Doyoung is probably his biggest support. i am so happy they all have each other 💚 Thank you Caitlin! 💚
Just remembered a video of Taeyong biting his nails and just generally freaking out while waiting for the best new band to be named at an awards show--not sure which. But he's jiggling his leg and hanging onto Doyoung for dear life, which leads me to believe SM may well have put serious pressure on him for NCT's success in general. All the members were probably nervous, but TY looks like he's about to pass out.😢
Definitely one of the best documentaries about a group. Done in such an original way. I cant help to think this is done in such an NCT way. Love this! Thank you for reacting to this documentary.🫶🏻💚🫶🏻💚
I felt him when he said that he wanted to say he did good/great but he still felt inadequate. It's hard to see fully the good things we do and achieve in ourselves and towards people. Maybe because in the back of our minds, store the regrets and thoughts of not being.....enough.
I wanna thank SM for this documentary of NCT127 because as we know, the enlistments of the members starts next year and it will take years before NCT 127 and other NCT members to be complete again as one, and watching this documentary gives us more reason to love them because in the first place debuting to this number one entertainment in South Korea is so hard. The reality of debuting in their company puts them in a lot of pressure since they need to prove their worth after their seniors. But again, I wanna thank all the members that they stay for this group. They will be no more NCT 127 if thy are not the members. Thank you caitlin for this reactions! I cannot help myself not to cry when it's TY's story. 😢💚
Those bullies in school should be ashamed of themselves for what they did to Taeyoung & Doyoung, they should be sorry for what they did to these two wonderful boys, I saw the documentaries of all NCT members....I teared up. Its not easy to become an idol...they put in a lot of hard work to be where they are today.....I am a Shawol....I understand cos we have seen what SHINee has been through....💔💔 breaks my heart. Bloody Antis....
If any group fails it's because the company failed in many ways than one. Putting that responsibility on one person is twisted and fuck8d up! Even today I still believe that NCT 127 couldve been even bigger than they are now had SM did a better job in handling them.
I will no longer be watching any documentary type content from NCT, my heart was not made for this but I also feed so proud of the boys and where they are now and what they've accomplished.
That's so fucked up. They are manipulating taeyong. Just by saying that, they know they can control. That is so mean and unprofessional. Putting the responsibility on like 20 years old. And about Jonny, The way they accept him as a trainee, they know he has it. Talents, physical, languages he has everything, but they're treating him like he is not a darkhorse? No wonder they are losing their mozo. The management act is so inhumane... they don't even put the best work on them. So annoying....
