“These three letters, ‘NCT’, are everything to me.”
NCT‘S Haechan recently sent a message to fans on August 31, 2024. He updated his communication subscription service with a long emotional speech. The message is the first time he addressed fans after the former member Taeilsex crimes scandal.
He wrote the message during his flight to Colombia for NCT DreamLatin America Tour.
Haechan has arrived in Bogota! I’ve had a lot of thoughts in my head all day, so I thought I’d share some of them with you while I eat my in-flight meal, haha.
How come this year is our 8th anniversary… To be honest, I started this job with a passion for singing and dancing, but I realized that there are many other things that are more important and that I need to take into consideration, besides singing and dancing. Of course, I’m still learning, but the thing I’ve learned the most is that we always have to work hard so as not to be fooled… These things aren’t something I created on my own because I’m so good, but if my members hadn’t been by my side, would I have been able to get this far? Would I have been able to have as much fun as I do now? No, would I have had the opportunity to have fun too? Sometimes when I see the members lined up in front of countless NCTzens during the shows, I feel a little weird inside. Like, “Oh, right, the members are celebrities LOL. These people that I love and depend on while joking and playing with them, they are really amazing people who are loved by so many people.” There are times when I’m fascinated in this way. I am able to do all these things because I have such members by my side! Even though all these things we have accomplished may seem like nothing to some people, we have worked really hard. During these eight years, we have released so many albums that I can’t even count them. We have worked really hard.

Haechan became emotional as he talked about how much he loved his group. He promised the fans that he would always do his best for the team.
Since I promoted two groups, I am so grateful that both groups were loved by many and that we were able to be recognized even a little bit, and win first place many times. But to be honest, most of the time, my schedule was tough physically and mentally. Despite that, I am so grateful to my members for always keeping me together so that I didn’t give up in the midst of it all. I am so grateful… So much so that my heart clouds…
I can’t do things halfway, not even a little bit. I say this because, just like I have done so far, I will work hard in the future for my members. These three letters, “NCT”, are my everything. It is the name that I must protect together with my members. I will work hard so that I can continue to shine. So, everyone, please continue to watch us in the future. Please cheer for us a lot and please expect a lot from us. Please love us a lot. I will really do my best for good music and good performances.
I tell you this today because I wanted to tell you before tomorrow’s concert. Thank you for reading this long post. I am always sorry and grateful. And I love you. Good night for today too!
