In 2021, NCT DREAM appeared on KBS Cool FM‘s Kiss the Radio, which was hosted by DAY6‘s YoungK at the time.

  • Whether it was years ago or not, it’s the same behavior — that’s why it keeps getting dragged back up. He was rude to his senior 4 years ago and he’s still doing it now, lol.
  • At this point, NCT Dream just have a fundamental character problem.
  • It’s embarrassing that the exact same controversy keeps repeating even after all these years.
  • If you want to call it “something from the past,” then he should’ve shown change… If similar controversies keep coming up, it’s basically just his karma.
