Did Super Junior’s Heechul Introduce NCT to Controversial Fans? Here’s the Idol’s Response

NCT’s Haechan and Johnny have recently been embroiled in a controversy that sparked heated debates. Claims emerged, accusing the idols of engaging in inappropriate actions, such as drinking and having intimate encounters with female fans, while they were in Japan.

The situation became more heated when Instagram stories from one of the implicated girls were exposed on X, uncovering unexpected relationships.

The situation became even more intense when Super Junior’s Heechul was implicated due to a leaked Instagram story. The story, posted by one of the girls supposedly involved with the NCT members, featured Heechul at a gathering where alcohol was being consumed. She captioned the photo with, “daebak, Heechul came LOL,”raising doubts about his involvement and whether he introduced the girls to NCT.

Heechul addressed the issue directly on June 4, 2024, through a message on Dear U Bubble. In response to a fan’s inquiry, he denied having any inappropriate interactions with the NCT members outside of their work.

“I’ve been keeping an eye on it anyway. I’m worried I’ll cause an incident on Instagram again, so I’ve just been talking to the company. I’m going to give a brief statement here in case you guys will worry or be disappointed. I’ve never met nor had a meal or drunk with any of our company juniors outside from work before. I don’t even have their contact numbers.”- Heechul

Despite Heechul’s explanation, doubts continue to persist among netizens. Several have noted that his rebuttal specifically addressed the NCT members and did not address the girls or the event itself.

Comments like, “So basically, he’s saying that it’s true he went [to that gathering], but his juniors Haechan and Johnny?”reflect the prevailing doubt.

Some people pondered what Heechul’s response might be, taking into account his usual outspokenness.

If it wasn’t real, I would have made a fuss about it on Instagram and said, “You’re a liar of women, you’re a liar of femininity,” but if you talk to the company and say something like this, you’re a bastard haha https://t.co/sz2fodZ6ux

“If it really wasn’t true, he would’ve acted up so much on Instagram calling people feminist b*tches, but seeing how he’s talking to the company, it’s probably true LOL.”- weedjdhsahei

Despite the ongoing controversy, SM Entertainment has not issued an official statement addressing the allegations. This lack of response has only fueled further speculation and left many questions unanswered.
