NCT’s Yuta Gets Flamed For “Insensitive” Comments About Haechan’s Weight
Content Warning
NCT 127 recently appeared on Zico’s Artist to promote their comeback, “Walk.” During an interview segment, the boys talked about their difficult choreography. In particular, the choreography for “Firetruck” during their rookie days was extremely difficult. The boys had to lift Haechan up and move him around in midair.
Yuta spoke up about the part, explaining how he had to ask Haechan to refrain from eating before performances.
“it was the part where haechan went up (being lifted up) so i always told haechan not to eat. we had practiced to the point where you could tell his weight changed if he ate food. so if he ate, i got really annoyed. like “you ate food, right~? (to haechan)” pic.twitter.com/MOkUZG2nha

It was the part where Haechan was lifted up. So I always told Haechan not to eat. We had practiced so much that we could tell when his weight changed. So if he ate, I got annoyed at him and asked, ‘you ate, right?’

It seems like the incident has been brought up before. On another interview show, the members recounted the time where Yuta told Haechan not to eat.
idk why they keep bringing this up when it’s not funny to anyone https://t.co/dREgDoJPvz pic.twitter.com/kvy7A5TDnH

Fans are extremely sensitive about the matter, as Haechan was still a teen back then.
this direct translation makes it even worse. and haechan looks uncomfortable and everyone’s laughing oh my god 😞 haechan im so sorry. “you could tell his weight changed if he ate food” like imagine bringing that up in the year 2024 for giggles https://t.co/lWfQHJXTwv

Although Yuta was also injured during promotions back then, fans feel that he should have brought the matter up to the choreographers, rather than put the responsibility on Haechan.
so instead of the adults altering the choreo to make it easier on everyone, they decide to tell the KID of the group to not eat and gain weight for their own convenience… https://t.co/Z8dIFYRRiR

On the other hand, some defend Yuta, claiming that Haechan has also brought up the other members’ weight on various occasions.
Haechan would literally say the same thing to other members, he would attack them about weight, and yall wouldn't say anything if he said it to other members

Some also maintain the opinion that fans are not privy to the internal dynamics of the group and their friendship.
