In K-pop, social media interactions between idols often create buzz. A comment by NCT‘s Taeyong on fellow member Yuta‘s recent Instagram post did just that.
Known for being more active on SNS than most idols, Taeyong, leader of the SM Entertainment boy group NCT, frequently engages with fans. From liking posts on Instagram to spending hours playing Animal Crossing with them, Taeyong‘s online activities have endeared him to many.

However, his recent comment on Yuta‘s Instagram post has stirred up lively discussions among fans. Yuta had uploaded a cover of Bring Me The Horizon‘s “Happy Song” on his Instagram account and earned praise for his vocals.
Taeyong, however, left a comment that read, “Let me go change my underwear and come back.” This unexpected comment had NCTzens scratching their heads in confusion. Some even wondered if they had misread or misunderstood what Taeyong wrote.

He used the Korean term “지린다,” which some use to express exhilaration. It can sometimes mean “to expel bodily fluids from oneself due to excitement.” (Get it?) In other words, Taeyong’s use of this term implied that he got so excited by Yuta’s vocal performance that he needed to change his underwear.
so in korean terms, 팬티 갈아입고 올게 is actually a figurative expression, like you're saying "slayyyy" or "you nailed it!" to a person, as you're praising someone metaphorically. so taeyong is praising yuta's singing here 🤍 https://t.co/3W8fhqnmdm

Other stunts Taeyong pulled on SNS
Adding to the intrigue, Taeyong has inadvertently hinted at his presence on Twitter. As part of his promotions for his first solo album, “Shalala,” he shared a screenshot of a tweet from the official SBS Inkigayo Twitter account on Dear. U Bubble. The screenshot displayed a message that appears when someone uses a Twitter account. By sharing the screenshot, Taeyong suggested he might have a secret Twitter account from which he follows fans.

That added a layer of intrigue to Taeyong‘s online activities, fueling fans’ curiosity and excitement. It’s a testament to NCT‘s close-knit relationship and willingness to engage with fans in ways others might consider unconventional. (For idols, anyway.)
As NCT continues to make waves in the music industry, fans can look forward to more amusing and unexpected moments featuring Taeyong, Yuta, and the rest of the group. – K-Pop News Writer
