NCT 127 members mentioned BTS briefly during one of their recent live sessions, all the while sharing stories from Colombia. During the course of the conversation, NCT’S Jungwoo revealed that whenever they went somewhere out to eat, they were recognized as ‘another group’ (implying BTS). When asked if it was the Bangtan Boys, Jungwoo tried to avoid admitting the name. However, fellow members Mark and Johnny compelled Woo to continue his story.
The revelations
NCT 127 member Mark said, “No but I just thought it was like cute and funny how we went to drink tequilas and one of the servers mis-recognized us, and then they gave us more drinks as service.” On the other hand, Taeyong stated, “In that case, you should thank that one group.” Mark further added, “Well it wasn’t just that but that server was just very friendly with us in general and had good service.”
However, this brief did not go well with a few BTS fans as they were offended by the band being referred to as ‘that group.’ This even led to an all-out war on social media between NCT 127 and BTS fans. However, a few other netizens came to NCT’s rescue and defended the group members.
Recent announcements
