Fan Asks NCT Johnny 'Inappropriate' Question Regarding His Body, NCTzens Disgusted with Caller
Every K-pop fan knows how precious fanmeetings are, especially when it's an offline event where artists and fans interact with each other and create memories together.
Moreover, a personal feel can also be felt when fans and idols communicate through video calls. Fancalls are preferable when fans want to meet their idols online with their own homes providing safety and comfort.
However, fancalls are also usually the subject of controversy, as many idols have already experienced negative instances that mostly root from a caller's inappropriate, rude, or insensitive behavior. In the newest incident, NCT Johnny trended due to a fan's skit.
Johnny tolerated the skit a little bit, stating that he would just grab a towel. However, the caller kept insisting on a different answer by establishing that Johnny didn't have time to grab anything to cover, leading to the idol's final answer to just go outside naked.
Fan: "Just imagine that you are now in a shower and the apartment's fire alarm has just been triggered. You really don't have the time to get dressed and you only have one free hand."
Fan: "So, would you choose to run out of the building with your face covered or you know, your private parts covered."
Johnny: "I will just grab a towel, at least a towel."
Fan: "Okay, but you don't have the time to grab anything."
Johnny: "Then I'm gonna, I guess I'm going outside naked."
