Fans React Hilariously To NCT Jaehyun's Kiss Scene In K-Drama "Dear. M"

Drama Dear. M finally managed to air via OTT platform VIKI after a series of unfortunate incidents that resulted in it being delayed for more than a year. Originally scheduled for February 2021, the female lead, Park Hye Su was embroiled in bullying accusations which led to KBS2 canceling its air. Finally, after being put on hold for the rest of the year, fans finally got to watch NCT‘s Jaehyun first leading role in June 2022.

Around the three-quarter mark of the drama, fans got to witness Jaehyun’s first kiss scene. His character, Cha Min Ho, leans in for a kiss after confessing his feelings to his best friend. His bestie, Ma Joo A, also admits she has feelings for him. In a heart-stopping moment, they lean in for a kiss.
