NCT’s Chenle
In a series of Bubble messages, Chenle first spoke about how fans might be feeling before diving into his own.
- Seems like there are still a lot of people who are sad and having a hard time.
- Yeah, it’s natural—it’s an unavoidable process.
- Today, while watching the fireworks show, I suddenly wanted to listen to ‘Our Season,’ so I did…
- It did make me feel a bit sad lol.
- So I guess it’s also a process for me to become okay with it and get used to it.
- Since it’s such a big change, you can’t just feel fine right away.
- But through our future activities, we’ll have to show (everyone) well.
He shared that he had mixed feelings about his feelings about the situation, which many fans appreciated.
- I have kind of multiple “personalities” in my head? I know that sounds a bit weird, but I keep having conversations with myself inside my mind.
- Like, the part of me that focuses on efficiency is like: “Why are you wasting time on these emotions?” lol.
- But then I also think that having emotions is what makes you human, so they kind of debate with each other.
- But soon… what’s coming out (variety show) is going to be really fun.
Fans have responded to Chenle’s honest feelings in various ways, reflecting on how the other members may be feeling.
