Most netizens imagined that it was BOY NEXT DOOR‘S Jaehyunwhich is technically also under HYBE or NCT‘S Jaehyun.
Does he sound a bit like Jaehyun to me?

Others guessed right ENIPENE members e BTS‘S Jungkook. Another common hypothesis was that of TXT Yeonjun. All of this seemed likely since these are HYBE groups.
Okay, doesn’t that sound like Kook or Yeonjun?!?!?! I’m perplexed

Shortly after, KATSEYE members started posting on Weverse, as promised. Lara seemed to tease that it was Yeonjun, as they both currently have red hair.

Manon posted a photo of herself holding Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, known to be Yeonjun’s favorite snack, and asked fans for some guesses.

Megan posted a photo with her snack: gum. Yeonjun recently made his solo debut with “GGUM.”
If that wasn’t obvious enough… Sophia shared a photo of herself holding Yeonjun’s PUSHBUTTON plush of the character, Hwang Choon.
One member left no room for other hypotheses. Yoonchae shared a password-protected post revealing the cover art for the “Touch” remix and confirming Yeonjun’s inclusion. He had made his name the password!
