K-pop fans were in for a wild ride when ATEEZ member Yeosang's baby picture appeared on NCT 127's latest episode of To Us.
The unexpected moment spread on the internet like wildfire. ATINYs and NCTzens, which are fandoms of ATEEZ and all NCT subunits respectively, even began wondering how the incident occurred.
Around the 00:57 minute mark in the video, Taeil was seen looking around a room in the SM building. The shelf on the side was filled with framed photos of the artists from top to bottom. In the now-deleted scene, Taeil looked at a particular picture that had a few NCT members on one side, and a baby photo of another K-pop idol.
While it is common for artists to not know their group members' childhood photos, this incident took the cake since it wasn't of an SM artist, but of an artist from a different company - KQ Entertainment's group ATEEZ's Yeosang.
Fans hilariously react to finding ATEEZ’s Yeosang’s baby picture in SM Entertainment’s building
In one of the most unexpected news in the K-pop fandom, fans found a connection between the two groups from different agencies. Being hawk-eyed is one of the many traits of a K-pop stan, and it proved how nothing can be hidden from them in NCT 127’s latest episode of To Us.
To Us #2 was released on January 7, and it went viral for an unpredicted reason. The episode featured Taeil taking a walk down memory lane by looking at NCT members’ photos throughout different eras.
One scene focused on a particular frame, which had a group photo from their Cherry Bomb era. Right next to it was a baby’s photo, which fans instantly realized was not an NCT member, but ATEEZ’s member, Yeosang.
Fans found the scene to be hilarious, especially because Taeil picked up the same frame, commented on it, and put it back - all without knowing that the baby picture was of a different K-pop idol altogether. As the picture went viral, more and more varied reactions popped up on Twitter.
Check out how some netizens reacted below:
Confusing NCT members’ baby photo with Yeosang’s looked like a genuine mistake. One fan posted a screenshot of their Pinterest, where the HALAZIA singer’s picture pops up upon searching “Taeyong baby picture.”
Meanwhile, it seems that SM Entertainment employees found out about Yeosang’s baby picture since that particular frame has now been deleted. The To Us #2 currently continues without any closeup of the Cherry Bomb era picture. However, ATEEZ member’s photo can still be seen in the full shot.
