In the world of K-pop, even the smallest actions can cause a stir. Recently, NCTzensâthe devoted fans of NCTânoticed that Mark and Chenle, two members of NCT DREAM, had unfollowed each other on Instagram. This unexpected move quickly sparked curiosity and concern among fans. Were they fighting? Was something wrong? Fortunately, the two idols took to Weverse Live to clear the air and share the real reason behind this playful move.
A Playful Experiment Gone Wrong
It turns out the reason behind Mark and Chenle’s social media move was far from dramatic. It all started with Chenle’s love for basketball, specifically his admiration for NBA star Stephen Curry. As a huge fan, Chenle wanted to see if his direct messages (DMs) to Curry would be noticed. To test how DMs work on Instagram, he decided to unfollow Mark temporarily. Unfortunately for Chenle, Curry didn’t follow him back, and the experiment didnât yield the results he hoped for.
Mark, always a good sport, played along with Chenleâs idea, and the two decided to keep the unfollowing game going for a bit longer, just to see how their fans would react.
Testing the Waters with NCTzens
Following their experiment, Mark and Chenle didnât immediately refollow each other. Instead, they chose to see how fans would respond. Would NCTzens notice the change? Would they start speculating about a possible fallout between the two? The boys expected their little stunt to cause a stir, imagining fans frantically discussing what might have happened between them.
However, things didnât go exactly as planned. To their surprise, fans didnât seem to react as strongly as they had anticipated. During their Weverse Live session, Chenle and Mark even joked about how they expected a bigger reaction, with Mark saying, âWe thought youâd react with something like, âIs their friendship falling apart?ââ But instead, only a few fans caught on, and the expected wave of speculation never came.
Back to Normal: No Drama Here
In the end, the unfollowing game was just a bit of harmless fun between friends. Mark and Chenle have since refollowed each other, putting any rumors to rest. Their bond remains as strong as ever, and thereâs no need for fans to worry.
As for NCT DREAM, the group is busier than ever. They are gearing up for their world tour, âTHE DREAM SHOW 3,â with plans to hit stages in both America and Europe. Plus, on August 23, 2024, theyâre set to release their first English single, âRains in Heaven,â marking their official American debut. NCTzens have plenty to look forward to!
