NCTzens get emotional on social media

While the artist is known to have several tattoos representing the bond he has with his friends and himself, he was one specific heart-warming design dedicated to his pet dog, who passed away in 2020.

At NCT 127's Neo City: Seoul - The Link Concert, the musician, was seen with a new body ink above his Ruby tattoo.

Upon noticing the new addition, fans took to Twitter and Instagram, expressing their feelings towards the meaningful design.

We all know that a dog is a man's best friend. A confidant, each with its own personality bringing pure serotonin into one's life, and Taeyong has proved what two ears, four legs, and a wagging tail can mean to a human being. He proved it by embedding her in his mind, heart and soul permanently with beautiful body art in remembrance of his beloved Ruby.

Indeed Ruby was an integral part of NCT idol Taeyong's life, and even though she isn't with him physically, she will continue to live through the memories made and a tiny tattoo as a remembrance on his arm.
