NCT Jaehyun "Thanks to Czennie, I have a firm resolve to work harder"

Group NCT member Jaehyun expressed his gratitude to his fans.

On the 16th, Esquire magazine released the cover and pictorial of Jaehyun, who is working as a Prada global ambassador. Jaehyun showed off his soft charisma while wearing various Prada outfits.

In an interview following the photo shoot, Jaehyun said, “Becoming a Prada ambassador itself is thanks to the power of my fans.” He added, “There is a limit to the effort I can make alone, and I need the strength of many people to help me to overcome that limit. “I feel it desperately,” he said.

NCT 127, to which Jaehyun belongs, held a special concert at Seoul Jamsil Olympic Stadium, the largest in Korea, in October last year. In particular, this performance became a hot topic as it was the last stage before the Jamsil Olympic Stadium was converted into a dome.

When asked how he felt at the time, Jaehyun replied, "I felt better than I could ever imagine. In particular, the memory of singing the song 'Yunseul' remained very strong in my mind."

Jaehyun said, "The night breeze blew over the stadium without a roof, and fans were waving the electronic signboard application on their phones. The swaying lights were just like the ripples of the sea. At that moment, I thought, 'It's so great to be able to perform in a place like this. “I thought, ‘I’m grateful to the fans and I’m grateful to our members,’” he explained.

He also mentioned the emotion of hearing fans sing together for the first time in a long time since the pandemic. Jaehyun said, "I thought this was the taste of performing. I literally felt like I had more strength and a stronger connection with the fans."

When asked if he shed tears, Jaehyun said, "I don't think I cried," and added, "I think the tears that came out may have gone back in because of the pleasant wind." When asked what the most absurd dream is that you're wishing for right now, Jaehyun reportedly said, "I'm embarrassed," but gave a witty answer that made people laugh.

Jaehyun expressed his affection for his fans through the interview. Jaehyun said, "When I hold a fan signing event, there are fans who say, 'Do whatever you want, and I'll support you no matter what.' Every time that happens, my resolve to work harder becomes stronger."

He also said, “On the other hand, I hope that the fans who support me will become better and help me live my daily life according to their support.” He added, “The fans are really great in that we share emotions that are not easy to experience if you do not have this job.” “It’s precious and I’m grateful,” he said.
