Fans can’t stop talking about NCT Jaemin’s latest Esquire pictorial — and it turns out one of the most talked-about shots wasn’t planned at all.
Recently, behind-the-scenes details from Jaemin’s Esquire shoot surfaced online, revealing the adorable story behind the now-viral photo where he’s seen biting into an apple. While the image looks effortlessly editorial, the truth is far more unserious.
According to one of the editors involved in the shoot, the apple wasn’t even meant for Jaemin. They spilled the beans on Instagram.
“Actually, the apple was being used as a prop for Jeno right before this. 🍏
But then Jaemin showed up and took a bite out of it saying he was hungry… The director who captured that exact moment, you’re the best.
The candid confession immediately sent fans laughing, with many praising Jaemin’s natural charm and the director’s perfect timing.
