The “cultural differences” between Korean and international fans have led to “hilarious grievances” among the NCT 127 fandom
Recently, NCT 127 published a story on their official Instagram account, asking for fans to select a concept that will be used for “127 Day” (a tradition of the NCT 127 fandom, where NCT 127 releases new content on January 27).
This year, there are 2 “concept options” between “Big family 127” and “Children 127”.
However, due to “cultural differences”, Korean and international fans of the group have completely contrasting perceptions of what these two concepts are.
In particular, for Korean fans, “Big Family 127” is a concept where the members will dress up as different “members” in a family, including the grandparents, parents, baby, and even a plant or pet, in a hilarious ways.
Meanwhile, “Children 127” is a concept that recreates NCT 127’s baby pictures, giving off a cute and nostalgic vibe.
However, international fans simply believe that “Big Family 127” will include normal photos with all the members, while “Children 127” will show the members in “child-like” outfits like shorts, bow ties, kindergarten hats, or suspenders.
As a result, international fans and Korean fans sided with opposite concepts, leading to an initial tie.
Flabbergasted, Korean fans have to trend clarifications about the concept on SNS platforms and asked everyone to vote for “Children 127”.
It is known that “cultural differences” have also caused a hilarious situation among NCT fans in the past, where foreign fans thought that a “Farmer concept” means half-naked men with cowboy hats, but for Korean fans, it means something way more hilarious.
Below are some comments from netizens:
- Thank you so much to everyone who voted for “Children 127”….
- It is hilarious to see how cultural differences can lead to situations like these…
- Wasn’t it the same as last year’s “farmers vs baseball players”? These cultural differences seriously cracked me up
- If “Big Family” win, my bias is going to dress up as a grandpa or a dog… Everyone,,, please spare a vote….
