NCT Renjun, Yangyang Share How Awkward They Were Around One Another During Trainee Days
On June 12, the second episode of Renjun and Yangyang's "FANTASTIC TRIP" was uploaded to YouTube. The episode continues the two NCT members' camping.
At the beginning of the video, the two SM artists can be seen making a hot pot for themselves at the back of their car amid a lush green forest. They also took the time to contact a few of their fellow NCT members, such as Chenle and Kun.

Toward the end of the video, NCT Renjun suggested, "We should talk about that. I should talk about how we became close to the point where we could go camping together. People may be wondering about that."
NCT Yangyang jokingly replied, "I thought I met you for the first time today." He then turned to the camera and said, "Actually, we met for the first time today."
After hearing this, Renjun seriously commented, "Help me out here. I wanted to make it a beautiful ending." He continued, "I haven't seen Yangyang in front of the camera in a while, so it's very awkward [to go camping with him]. But to talk about how we became friends, actually, it's not that special." Yangyang added, "We were awkward at first too."
For starters, Yangyang was introduced to the public as part of SM Entertainment's pre-debut training team, SM Rookies, in July 2018 which was around the time Renjun was already a member of NCT Dream (which debuted in 2016).

NCT Renjun then revealed, "I became close with Xiaojun really quickly. After I got close with Xiaojun, Yangyang came to the company, and it was so awkward really."
However, Yangyang corrected him that he joined SM Entertainment before Xiaojun did. He continued, "You were already working, that's why we didn't meet much."
Renjun went on to say, "Anyway, although he came first, I was closer with Xiaojun first." He then gave an example of how they were awkward around each other.
"Let me tell you how our conversation went," Renjun said. "We never talked by ourselves. There had to be someone else if I wanted to ask him something. I'd talk to another guy about it, [like] 'What did you guys do yesterday?' Then I'd listen to him and hear Yangyang talk. It was indirect."

NCT Yangyang then shared that one day, they just found themselves close with each other. Renjun revealed that he can't remember the time they started to get close and began talking to one another, and that all he can recall are the times they were already friends.
"We were already so open to each other about anything. But like that was that particular vibe between us, and I didn't want to talk to him first," NCT Renjun further said. Yangyang also confessed that he also didn't want to approach Renjun first.
