NCT’s Haechan Speaks Up About The Beauty Of His Darker Skin

Recently, fans were left uncomfortable by a video call discussing Haechan’s skin tone.

During the video call, a fan mentioned that others criticized her for having darker skin. When Haechan asked and confirmed, she stated that they said she “looks like him.”

Fan: People are always laughing at my dark skin
Haechan: They make fun of you for your skin color?
Fan: They say I look just like you.

Haechan responded that looking like him was not an insult, saying those who mocked her “couldn’t be dark,” with this being interpreted as him saying that they wished they looked like him and the fan.

Haechan: Well, that’s not really making fun of you
Fan: Say something to them
Haechan: Well, you couldn’t be dark.

While Haechan handled this well by telling the fan that darker skin was not something to be ashamed of, fans felt uncomfortable with it being brought up. Many felt it was an indirect way of mocking Haechan by mentioning that others said she looked like him.

Others shared their appreciation for Haechan’s skin tone, mentioning his own admiration in the process.
