Renjun of NCT Shares Unexpected Bond With HYBE Boy Group Member

NCT’s Renjun revealed how he became friends with TXT’s HueningKai, surprising fans with the unexpected cross-company bond.

Renjun said he was looking for a celebrity friend who was kind. Hearing about HueningKai’s sweet personality, he got introduced through a friend. Their first meeting happened casually at Starbucks, which Renjun described as “kind of like a blind date.” HueningKai was shy at first, but they quickly warmed up.

How I came to know Huening Kai — honestly, aside from my Chinese friends, I don’t have celebrity friends. So when looking for friends, my first condition is that they have to be nice. HueningKai seemed so kind. He gave off a slightly Jisung-like vibe. So, I got introduced through a friend, and we decided to meet at Starbucks and chat, kind of like a blind date. So, yeah, we talked, and I thought it was nice, but HueningKai was so introverted that it felt a little awkward. Then, right there, a fan recognized us, and the way they looked at us was so surprised, like, ‘Why do you two know each other?’ So we went for a walk along the Han River and even hung out at his dorm.
