NCT DREAM And Stray Kids Showcase Their Supportive Friendship In Recent Live Event “Venue101”
NCT DREAM and Stray Kids had the most wholesome interactions on the Japanese live event Venue101, where they each performed their recent hits and hyped each other up like true friends!
While Stray Kids are already currently in Japan for Stray Kids 2nd World Tour “MANIAC”, NCT DREAM called in from Korea for their appearance. And even though the two groups were in different countries, they still encouraged each other with high-fives and plenty of cheering.
Stray Kids gave a strong performance of “MANIAC,” showing off their powerful tone and choreography.

They were very much a hit with NCT DREAM, as Renjun and Jeno could afterward be seen doing the “MANIAC” hand gesture…

…while the other members cheered enthusiastically.
This was so cute Nct Dream said “SUGOI DESU!! (it was great!!)” and gave thumbs up after watching Stray Kids perform ‘Maniac’ and although SKZ wasn’t shown you could hear them shouting back “ARIGATO GOZAIMASU!! (thank you!!)” 🥺✨ pic.twitter.com/lVk4WHZIkW

In fact, when the hosts asked them if they were acquainted with each other, NCT DREAM happily confirmed it, with Chenle calling out to his Stray Kids besties, Felix and Bang Chan (and them waving back)…

Chenle is actually quite close with Felix and Bang Chan. He revealed in a recent live broadcast on Weibo that Felix texted him after Venue101, expressing how happy and surprised he was to finally appear onscreen with NCT DREAM.

In fact, some fans pointed out that once Felix gave him brownies to share with all of NCT DREAM…that Chenle ended up eating all by himself!
Félix and Chenle are besties

The love truly went both ways. NCT DREAM nailed their performance of “Beatbox…”

And Stray Kids’ Seungmin couldn’t help moving along to the choreography as they all watched the “Beatbox” wink challenge, while Felix was left clearly impressed by NCT DREAM Jisung‘s demonstration of the point moves…

He also couldn’t help copying bestie Chenle when he saw him waving his arms and having fun—something that fans had fun pointing out as a “bestie thing.”

All in all, the members of the two groups seemed like they were happy to share a screen together and support each other’s performances…

…and fans can’t get enough of it, especially since NCT and Stray Kids interactions are so rare. (And even rarer when combined with SEVENTEEN…)
