Haechan dancing to Touch going viral under the Untouchable Tiktok sound 😭 He's almost catching up in views with the original video, and he's leading in likes. This is why we couldn't have the Saebbing challenge after that Love Theory Tiktok 😐 Official or not, he DEVOURS.
@fullsunflower we hope you have a wonderful day, because you surely deserve to! you’re such an amazing, kind person, we hope you never have a reason to stop smiling! 💖
I have a favorite genre of fan-taken pictures of Haechan during concerts and I thought I'd share them.
This is just 10 out of a growing collection of HOLOesque pictures, so manifest a real HOLO concert before my phone runs out of storage 😔
🌿 When he spreads his arms like he owns the world at that moment.
And he kinda does? Haechan on-stage is mesmerizing, and we've heard over and over again from concert-goers that Haechan's presence demands attention, so yes, he OWNS the world.
it's also a running joke between me and my friends that Haechan thrives on the stage because he is ✨ a siren prince from Jeju ✨ who feeds off of the energy and cheers from the audience 😅
Those two pictures are his feeding time stance.
🌿 When the confetti falls around him and he's just there absorbing everything.
VERY SENTIMENTAL. When the camera captures him when he turns his back, and we're seeing what he's looking at? Perfect.
Haechan treasures performing so much, standing on different stages, and interacting with fans. It's a shame because these pictures don't show his face (the awe, the fondness, his eyes sparkle I'm not even kidding), but just knowing that he's looking at something he's worked hard for makes you feel warm, as well.
It's like watching Haechan realize and fulfill his dreams. He's always been so dedicated to his craft and seeing him happy and achieving so much brings me joy.
🌿 When he's singing his heart out and "breaking" the stage.
I feel so grateful to have found Haechan and to be honest, anyone is lucky to have him as their ult. A main vocalist and a main dancer who knows how to capture the audience, and has an oozing stage presence? YES.
But more than that (and being a songwriter, choreographer, rapper, radio host, emcee, actor, variety show genius, OST singer, model, all-rounder ace extraordinaire), his whole mindset about his career is what completes the package (talent, personality, character, visuals, brains, and wit).
Listen to him talk about the songs he wrote (Love Sign, NYCT, and the unreleased one). Watch how he directs his recordings and how he practices their choreographies. Observe how he talks about his future plans for songwriting and performing his own songs. Then, watch him on stage as he never slacks off, even when he does twice, thrice the usual idol workload. He gives his 120% every time he performs.
He isn't just an idol by name.
🌿 Lastly, when a thousand lights twinkle behind him like stars, and yet Fullsun still shines the brightest.
There's just something about Haechan and his attitude towards his career that makes you want to root for him.
He debuted at 16. He wasn't as famous as the rest of the group then. He was the youngest. He's yet to establish his role in NCT. He even admitted recently that during the early days of NCT, he was just happy to be there.
He's extremely talented. Despite that, he went through comebacks where he has little to no lines in songs, and barely any exposure in their choreographies, especially in 127. He was a vital part of Dream, tho, so it was bearable.
Heachan being reassigned as a main vocalist in 127 and debuting in an NCT U vocal group with a YYJ ballad was just a thing waiting to happen. He's born to be a singer. His parents are both musically-inclined. He grew up with respected musical influences that shaped his identity. He's also a great dancer with technical training pre-debut, and he was the best rapper among his fellow trainees during their training period. It's just natural that with time, he'll get recognized for his talents.
That said, the time came earlier because Haechan, aside from being naturally gifted, is also a hardworker. This shows whenever he's in a recording studio, during dance practices, or when they're shooting their music videos.
According to their producers, Haechan is usually the Neo who finishes recording in the shortest span of time. That makes sense because he enters the studio having figured out what to do with his parts.
Haechan is very goofy and playful most of the time, but the shift in attitude whenever he enters the recording booth is undeniable. You'll really find him the most serious when he is recording.
He records his parts knowing what he already wants to do with them. It's actually rare to see him ask the producers what he's going to do with his parts. He'd rather ask for opinion about a change he wants to do to his part which I think speaks volumes about him as an artist.
This also reflects on his dream as a singer-songwriter. He's a very goal-oriented person who knows what he has to do to succeed. He's very proactive about a future solo career that I just wish SM would give him more oportunities to grow individually. So far, he only has one OST to his name. It's a good thing that he released 2 of the songs he made during The Link concerts, but I hope in the near future, they will be available on music platforms. The songs deserve to be heard by more people.
He's also very diligent about dancing. He's trained in ballet, jazz, contemporary, and sports dance. I bet it was hard to incorporate a more ballet/contemporary training in kpop compared to a more urban hiphop training but he made it work beautifully.
He is also one of the members who easily memorizes choreographies. Although he's in three active units, meaning he has more choreographies to remember, he doesn't slack off. He's one of the Neos that the mebers go to when recalling choreographies.
He's also seen in a lot of their music video shoots practicing the dance steps during his free time. With a schedule as grueling as his, he might not have the time to practice as much as the rest of the group is. His dedication to his craft is immense because you will never catch him slacking off despite this.
I'm aware that for some, recording seriously and practicing choreographies during your free time might be a bare minimum, but to me, it speaks about his work ethics and his whole perspective about his career.
He's relatively one of the most successful members of NCT at this point, just basing on the fact that from an average member, he's carved a place in the group that only he can fill. He's also built and grew a stable fandom even though he only had opportunities for solo promotions in 2022. He's one of the most popular now (and his selling power good lord). All these and he remains humble (that sometimes I just want him to be more vocal about his achievements cos I always get the urge to push him to the mic and give a speech whenever they win on music shows). He works just as hard, if not harder, as when he was a trainee.
He's such a great person to root for and look up to, and he's inspired me to work harder for myself in more ways than one. 🧡
star1 magazine has a special place in my heart. They photograph Haechan so beautifully.
I was hoping that for his first solo magazine cover, they'd photograph him under natural light, but even though we can't have that, the photos still came out looking ethereal.
I love that they know how to dress him up and show how he has both masculine and feminine features. When the sunlight or the warm lights hit his skin, he literally glows 🥺
