NCT DREAM Jeno Exposed to Vicious Body Shaming — ”Why Are You Showing Your Skeleton?’ [PHOTOS INSIDE]

Despite being a member of NCT DREAM, Jeno has become the subject of a controversy due to the onslaught of body shaming comments on various social media platforms.

The criticism originated from a post on Pann that has since been deleted, in which netizens expressed their disapproval of the idol’s shirtless appearance at the Seoul stop of the group’s The Dream Show 3 concert.

Despite the overwhelming negativity, supporters of Jeno immediately banded together to protect him.

The ridiculousness of analyzing his appearance was pointed out and it was emphasized that the viewpoints of the concert-goers, who greatly appreciated Jeno’s performance, should carry more significance than anonymous negative comments online.
