NCT Doyoung’s Emotional Message To Fans Hit With Viral Criticism
NCT’s Doyoung recently became the subject of heated debate after sharing an emotional message with fans — one that a trending post on Pann labeled “strange.”
In a message posted through Bubble, Doyoung expressed his feelings in a self-critical way following his behavior at the star’s most recent solo concert. Doyoung seemingly didn’t like the emotional response he had. In the texts sent to fans, the NCT star criticized his tears.
Doyoung: “Aghhh ㅠㅠ”
Doyoung: “At this point in my career and at my age, I really cried like a total loser ㅠ Good grief ㅠㅠ”
While the tone seemed personal and vulnerable, one online post accused him of being overly performative. The author criticized his “word choices,” claiming they felt forced and unnatural — as if he was trying too hard to sound thoughtful. The post even claimed this behavior had pushed them away from Doyoung and they had moved to the younger NCT unit, WISH, after unsubscribing from Doyoung’s Bubble service.
Doyoung acts just like he looks.
His word choices always come off a bit strange, like he’s trying to read people or pretend he knows everything.
He feels like a knock-off Na Jaemin.I didn’t cancel his Bubble because I didn’t want to waste it, but now I’ve switched over to Wish.

The post quickly spread, sparking backlash from both fans and non-fans alike. Many came to Doyoung’s defense, saying the criticism was completely unwarranted and twisted his intentions. Some pointed out that he was simply being open about crying and not directing his words at fans or group members.
- “LOL Wish… Get out of the NCT fandom already. Do you not realize how rare it is to find a male idol as mentally grounded and considerate of his fans as him? Acting like you know better when you clearly don’t is even more ridiculous. Doyoung may not be my bias, but when it comes to character and maturity, he’s top tier.”
- “I’m not even a Doyoung fan, but the way you’re twisting things is impressive in its own way. I actually thought he puts a lot of care into how he chooses his words… it feels really sincere toward his fans.”
- “You must be really desperate if that’s all you’ve got to nitpick… He wasn’t even talking to other members or fans — he literally just called himself a loser after crying. How is that something to attack his personality over? LMAO. Instead of going after innocent idols, maybe go after the ones actually doing shady stuff. Seriously, you’re just a hater with a truckload of issues.”
- “Give it a rest, you nutjob. What kind of delusional nonsense are you spewing now?”
- “Why even switch to Wish? Just leave the NCT fandom altogether.”
