On November 13th, NCT’s Doyoung he was a guest of the comedian Yoo Byung Jae’s YouTube live stream and I talked about being an introvert.
They touched on how to avoid small talk and different conversation topics to use when you get caught in certain circumstances.
– What do you usually bring up as a topic of conversation?
🐰 What are you doing here? I guess this is the end? Because, to be honest, I… I want to be friends! I don’t feel that way!
When I see someone, it makes me want to become their friend. I don’t know if there is a special case like Taeha or something that made me fall in love at first sight, but for now…— ️²⁶톺 (@DOYOUNG__21) November 13, 2024
“Request: What kind of topics do you usually use for small talk?
Doyoung: I usually ask what they were doing or if they ate…and I think that’s it? Because, to be honest, I have no interest in getting close to anyone. Unless it’s a special case like Taeha or falling in love the moment I see them, I don’t plan on being close to anyone… so I don’t think much about what to talk about. Getting close to someone takes time and effort… I think being natural is best… as I don’t try to force myself to get close to someone… so I usually just hang out with the people I meet all the time…”
He also shared his tips for avoiding small talk.

🐰When I do musical shows, I take the elevator. There are times when other singers take the elevator. If we travel together, we have difficulty doing so. I don’t mean that in a bad way, but there are times when you don’t want to talk. Then I have a rectangular elevator, so I go to any corner and look… pic.twitter.com/kDKxJ4jv1g

During music broadcasts, there are times when you get into an elevator with other singers. Usually we say hello, but for me this is not meant in a negative sense, it’s just that sometimes I don’t feel like talking. So I simply find a corner of the elevator and stand facing the wall.

As a true introvert, he shared what he usually does at home.
– What do you do when you are home alone?
🐰 I…watch OTT, lie down and sleep…I think it’s sweet.
Oh, I bought an indoor bike and I ride an indoor bike. I sweat a lot while riding an indoor bike.
I recently bought an indoor bike. There is something that has become famous called Jeon Hyun-moo’s indoor bike. I saw an old man driving it and thought, “Oh, that would be cool to drive,” so I bought it, but I was. sweating a lot… pic.twitter.com/I3exu0vRBD— ️²⁶톺 (@DOYOUNG__21) November 13, 2024
“Request: What do you do when you’re alone at home?
Doyoung: I only watch OTT platforms, lie down and sleep. I think that’s it. Ah, I recently bought an indoor bike. I saw Jeon Hyun Moo riding it and thought it would be a good idea and you were really sweating! So I use it morning and night and feel like I’m losing weight and getting healthy.
