NCT Johnny’s Viral Interaction With NCT WISH Member Sparks Unexpected Accusations
As interactions between senior and rookie idols continue to spark debate among fans, a recent moment involving NCT‘s Johnny and a much younger member of NCT WISH has come under scrutiny online.
A post on the popular Korean forum Pann has gone viral after accusing Johnny of purposely trying to embarrass members of NCT WISH. The post — which has already surpassed 30,000 views — includes a photo taken at the recent SMTOWN concert in Mexico, where Johnny is seen lifting up NCT WISH member Sakuya.
The viral post criticized Johnny’s actions.
Why is Johnny always like this with Wish?
I already don’t like how Johnny acts all overly familiar with Wish just because he’s older, but he always ends up embarrassing him like this. He knows the cameras are there—what exactly is he trying to do??

However, the majority of top comments on the post defended Johnny, suggesting there was no malicious intent behind his actions.
Many pointed out that Johnny is known for his affectionate and humorous personality, and lifting up a younger member might simply reflect his fondness for them, not an attempt to shame or mock.
- “Huh? But it doesn’t seem like he’s doing it with bad intentions? WISH are way younger than him, so maybe he finds him genuinely cute? I mean, Johnny wouldn’t have any reason to feel jealous or negative toward them.”
- “What part of that is embarrassing?”
- “Come on, there’s a 12-year age gap, how could he not find him adorable? LOL”
- “Johnny’s bias is Sakuya, so he’s just being affectionate…”
- “Johnny joined SM in 2007, and Sakuya was born in 2007. With that kind of age difference, of course he finds him cute. When someone’s that much younger, just watching them walk around can seem amazing.”
While the post drew attention for its accusations, the general tone of the responses suggests that most fans don’t view Johnny’s behavior as problematic.
