NCT's Jaehyun Gains Attention For "Improving" His Photocard Taking Skills

One of the most common collections for collectors of K-Pop merchandise is photo cards. Photocards originally came inside albums and featured an image of a random member but have now grown to appear in some of the most random places.

Some idols are known for their ability to take cute photocard photos…

…while others, like NCT‘s Jaehyun have tended to be on the other end of the spectrum.

Jaehyun is a multi-talented idol whose visuals help to make him the whole package.

However, while Jaehyun is very handsome, fans sometimes have a “problem” with the idol’s selfie ability. In particular, Jaehyun’s photocards have been jokingly discussed as he often makes the same face and poses similarly.

In one case, two different photo cards from the 2 Baddies album could only be told apart by the background.

However, recently the idol has stepped up his photocard game, according to fans.

On July 15, NCT 127 released their latest album, Walk.

Following the release, fans eagerly waited to see the photocards that were included in the albums. After two of Jaehyun’s were shared, a fan’s post calling jokingly calling him the Dua Lipa of photocards gained attention, referencing how the female singer was criticized for her dancing then took time to improve her skills.
