NCT Wish Sion’s Life Was Changed Due To A Classmate With A Crush On Him…But He Doesn’t Know

Sometimes, dreams come true because someone else dares to dream for you. That’s exactly what happened to NCT Wish‘s Sion, whose entire K-pop idol journey started not because he applied to an audition, but because a classmate slid into SM Entertainment’s DMs on his behalf.
In a story that feels like the plot of a teen drama, Sion was just another student with standout visuals. He was so famous for his visuals back then that people would approach him outside of school.

The adorable story started when a classmate of his had a huge crush on him. Unable to develop things romantically with him, she decided to send a DM to SM Entertainment’s casting team about Sion’s visuals, asking them to take a look.

SM Audition: “Hello. Are you two friends?”
Schoolmate: “Yes, yes.”
And guess what? SM listened. Shortly after, the legendary K-pop agency responded to the message and reached out directly to Sion with a casting offer. One bold message turned into a DM from SM, which turned into auditions, training, and eventually… debuting as a member of NCT WISH, the group that’s already making waves with their fresh energy and visuals.
The story went viral on theqoo when the classmate posted about it.
I changed my crush’s life, but he doesn’t know about it. Why? Because he was able to become a celebrity thanks to me sending in a tip-off to SM Entertainment. Haha.

If you can’t have him, make sure no one can! Now, Sion is beloved by the public as a celebrity.
