A perfectly normal interaction between siblings.
NCT‘S Tae-Yong recently updated his Instagram for Chuseok holidays. He took a train to his family’s house. It seems that the reservation was made for him by his older sister, because he tried to ask her for the seat number but received no response. As a result, he had to sit on the extra foldable seats near the luggage compartment.
He posted a screenshot of their text messages.
Tae-Yong: “Where is my place? Kekeke.”
Tae-Yong: “Please tell me where I am sitting.”
Tae-Yong: “Heyyyyy.”
Tae-Yong: “Hey hey hey. Keke.”
Tae-Yong: “Heyyyyy. Answer the phone.”
Tae-Yong: “Hey girl.”
Tae-Yong: “I’ll go up first.”
Tae-Yong: “You booked premium seats but I’m currently sitting in the fold-away seats.”
Fans who zoomed in on the photo noticed that he had sent a photo of himself making a gesture of contempt towards his sister.
Many took it lightly, considering it a normal and fun meeting between brothers.

Despite the good reaction from fans, some tried to use it to bring him down. An account known for posting celebrity gossip reposted the images with the caption, “NCT’s Taeyong makes the index finger gesture to his sister.”

Despite their attempts, many simply dismissed it as a normal interaction.
Between brothers
Swearing is not a greeting? https://t.co/DmZ6jdcuPF— ㄷㄹ (@2rznzkn) September 17, 2024
Aren’t swear words just a greeting between brothers?
