SM Entertainment Issues Apology After NCT Renjun Exposes Alleged Sasaeng’s Personal Information

NCT member Renjun recently attempted to get back at someone who has been bothering him by exposing an alleged sasaeng‘s phone number on Bubble. Since then, SM Entertainment has issued an official statement of apology for the mistake.

Renjun’s Alleged Sasaeng‘s Phone Number Turns Out To Be a Wrong Number

On June 20, Renjun inadvertently caused a significant issue when he publicly exposed the phone number of someone he believed to be a sasaeng. In his message on Bubble, Renjun expressed his frustration by writing, “Stop calling me. I’m revealing this person’s phone number.”

However, the situation took a turn when it was later revealed that the phone number Renjun exposed belonged to an ordinary civilian and not a sasaeng fan. The civilian, who began receiving floods of hateful messages and calls after Renjun publicized their phone number, took to social media to explain their side of the story. They clarified that they had called Renjun’s number by mistake, thinking it was the number of one of their friends.

As the civilian continued to receive harassment, they eventually decided to involve the police to investigate the matter. The situation garnered significant attention and concern from fans and the general public, prompting a response from SM Entertainment.

SM Issues Apology on Renjun’s Behalf

SM Entertainment issued an apology on behalf of Renjun, acknowledging the mistake and expressing regret for the distress caused to the civilian. The agency emphasized their commitment to handling the situation responsibly and ensuring that such incidents do not occur in the future.

“Renjun is currently deeply reflecting on his mistake and the consequences that followed. SM Entertainment also apologizes for failing to take care of our artist’s actions.”

Renjun, who has been on a hiatus from his activities since April due to symptoms of anxiety, has not yet made a personal statement regarding the incident. Fans have been sending messages of support to Renjun, hoping for his recovery and understanding the stress and pressure idols often face.

The incident highlights the importance of careful communication on public platforms, especially for public figures. It also underscores the potential consequences of online actions and the need for mindfulness in handling sensitive situations. SM Entertainment’s swift apology and acknowledgment of the error were necessary steps in addressing the issue and mitigating further harm to the involved civilian.

As Renjun continues his hiatus, fans and the public alike hope for a resolution that brings peace to all parties involved and a swift recovery for the idol.

NCT U, a subdivision of the larger NCT group, released their latest single, “Marine Turtle” on Wednesday, December 6. 

It served as the nine release in SM Entertainment’s innovative NCT LAB initiative. 

Moreover, the collaborative efforts within the NCT LAB continues as WayV‘s Kun and Xiaojun teaming up with NCT Dream’s Renjun and Chenle for “Marine Turtle.” 

Both in the teaser photos and music video, the members were seen posing at the beach. The song, available in both Chinese and Korean, falls under the pop genre, blending a guiding synth melody and emotive vocal harmonies. 

Furthermore, the lyrics draw a poignant analogy, comparing the determination to forge ahead in life to a marine turtle hatching from its egg and embarking on a journey into the sea.

Notably, Chenle  also played a role in its composition, showcasing the multifaceted musical abilities of NCT members. Additionally, fellow NCT member Mark also lent his talents to the lyric-writing process.

‘Marine Turtle’ as part of NCT LAB releases

For those unfamiliar, NCT LAB is a SM Station series allowing NCT members to release their self-composed solo and unit tracks outside of regular NCT albums. In January 2022, the project was first announced, with Mark kicking it off with his solo release “Child.” 

Meanwhile, its first unit song “coNEXTion (Age of Light)” was sung by members Doyoung, Mark, and Haechan. Notably, the song also featured a performance by Shotaro, who is now a member of RIIZE.  Then, it was followed by another unit song “Rainy Day,” which was performed by Kun, Taeil, and Yangyang. 

For the rest of 2022, NCT LAB released two more tracks: Jaehyun’s “Forever Only” and Ten’s “Birthday.” 

In 2023, Mark and Jaehyun both released their second NCT Lab solo tracks. Meanwhile, Taeil and Haechan also released their duet track “N.C.Y.T.”

With “Marine Turtle” as the latest release, there will already be nine songs under NCT LAB. 

Currently, SM Entertainment has yet to announce their next NCT LAB song to be released. But it was earlier teased that Kun also has a solo track under the lineup. 

Which other NCT member would you want to see release a NCT LAB song next?
