nct taeyong 태용: leader moments pt. 1

[@priscillal3208]

Taeyong knows how to use his popularity to gain attention for NCT and he allows other members to shine before himself and gives rise to more exposure for other members.

[@weareawesome2546]

I'm not yet an NCT stan but I really admire Taeyong's leadership. SM may not be the best entertainment company but they have the best and polite artists in Korea. And I can see why SM chose him as the leader. If you watch all the other SM group leaders then you'll know the reason. All SM leaders does not just lead and represent their groups, but they lead and represent Korea as a whole. This is something that amazes me about SM and their artists. I also admire how he's working hard in studying english. He knows he has a responsibility to lead his members even in a foreign land. I even noticed in their recent US interviews how he's doing his best to speak in english and trying to help carry the burden of answering those english questions even though their group has 3 reliable foreign swagger members who can speak in behalf of the group. His sense of responsibility is really noticeable even in his silence. Truly an admirable kid. He deserves that leader role.

Just went to their concert May 19. The group was introduced individually to the audience. As soon as Taeyong stepped on stage, you instantly felt that he is the leader. It is obvious how much he cares for and supports each member. He will be a director one day with SM ent. Fighting Taeyong!!! ✌️🍁🇨🇦

[@k-popislifesmgroupsarelife9095]

So lucky! 😭

[@にゃにゃちぇんちぇい]

Before knowing more about NCT, I always wondered why they would choose Taeyong as the leader especially since he’s already the center/face. I thought Johnny would be more suited for the leader’s role, but now I know.... Taeyong is such a great leader T_T he isn’t only charismatic and decisive as a leader, he’s also great with ideas and communicating with the members, and he’s also caring and selfless. I’m so proud of him TT

[@camillaroches3379]

If Johnny was the leader, half of the members would be lost in a day 😂😂 (jk tho johnny is a sweetheart) taeyong is a great leader

[@aekibunnie9746]

It’s amazing how much responsibility he has in the group and how he handles it so well, being the face, center, main rapper, main/lead dancer (I think), as well as the leader of nct 127 and the unofficial leader of u and 2018 must be so exhausting.

[@ukiss4ever7]

@JiMinSeok (Cinnamin) He's the main dancer in both NCT U and 127, so for U, him and Ten are both main dancers, just like him and Mark are both the main rappers in U and 127.

[@aekibunnie9746]

dark_angel123 thanks! I wasn’t sure if he was main or lead, but knew he was definitely in the dance line

[@hinakimichan]

Lol. Johnny is the type to be taken care of.

[@nkzy9438]

It's like SM has some kind of model function to specifically to make leaders or something. SM leaders are the best leaders in Kpop. They have these hard to describe part of personality that comes so naturally to them as leaders. It's like you can give one scenario to all of them and they'd all give a 99.9% similar reaction to it as a leader. Maybe it's having to deal with such a company and many other hardships. It's saddening to see the burden they have to carry but at the same time if I'm proud of being a SM stan ever, one of the reasons would be the leaders from SM groups. They really are pretty amazing. And Taeyong falls effortlessly in that line.

[@MissWildheart]

So true... SM has some of the best leaders of Kpop.

[@jonathanman4217]

Not all SM groups got the right leader but some yeah it is example is taeyong , taeyeon

[@penguin-b7p]

It’s hard to not be selfish when you’re in such a big group but the fact that Taeyong ALWAYS puts the other 17 before himself whenever and wherever just shows how selfless he is. He’s only contempt when everyone else has or does what they want first, and that’s quite a rare thing to see in today’s society. Kudos Lee Taeyong, you’re one of the best Kpop leaders out there, hands down. 👏🏻

Same here!!!

[@noneofyourbusiness9620]

maybe ima add one more thing for fun. his videos are actually really great tutorials on how to lead in real life. not just compilations, even shows in general (tip: look at his eyes and gestures. you'll see how he stays aware of things). I'm very new to kpop, but even before i knew nct i've been watching taeyong's videos for a while and what he does actually works. u can easily learn more from taeyong/suho/even baekhyun and other group leaders than from books, because they're usually naturals who were appointed (aka they have the gift of leading) and also its a tutorial shown directly in front of us, no imagination needed.

[@kyle-hk3gw]

If you think about it, taeyong probably has one of the hardest job in Kpop. Being a leader of 7 members is already hard enough but he has 17 and more to lead. What amazes me is how organised nct is if you think about it from a perspective, they always manage to line up, be attentive, and also not get like chaotic even with a number of members present. SM has in my opinion the best leaders out there, from leading a large number of people to the obstacles the group has to face and faced already

It's truly a survival of the fittest and to be able to debut out of all of the skilled trainees and become the leader of 21 (and still counting) talented members, speaks a lot of volume how capable Taeyong is. He's the center, visual, main rapper and main dancer of nct. He deserves to be the leader not only because of his looks but because of his personality too. SM knows how to pick a good leader. We're so proud of you LEE TAEYONG FIGHTING!! ❤

Even though suju and snsd don't have members as much as nct, but suju was the first group of kpop that has a lot of members and sub-units. And snsd was the first girl group of kpop that has many members too. So basically, although Taeyong has more members to lead now, he has some seniors that he can ask for. At least he has role-models, and he can learn how they lead their members. You couldn't compare him to Leeteuk and Taeyon which are the first

[@γινομαιενα]

The fact that almost half of the group are foreigners too, it's must be really hard for him especially when he also the main center of the group, unlike other leaders who usually lead them by stand behind them to look over them or stand in front of them to lead them, Taeyong have to do both equally

[@noodledogs]

@@lunachaaaan1072 they made him the official leader of all nct? i thought they just made him nct 127's leader :0 if so than he really deserves it this was a long time coming lol

[@loveashin1]

Finally.. All the burden for almost these past 6 years started to loose. Thank you to Taeyong supporters for always trust and never give up on him .

[@Linrode]

He’s really the best , i mean he have 17 members and they’ll get more members so he’s really amazing, i can see how hard he try to care for all of them and make sure they don’t feel left out, and i get angry at how some NCTZEN say taeyong doesn’t care for that member as the others, he just look out for them equally i hope everyone understands that

[@markhyuckontoptreasureteum1047]

라갇 he's soon to be having 20 kids since there's 3 new rookies now.

[@kiwinoona2009]

TY is the best and most caring and hard working leader I’ve ever seen 😭! It’s hard with the most members but he’s been doing so well! Ready for NCT 2020 albums

[@couerbins]

sm knows to pick the right leaders but taeyong is the ultimate example , hes so caring and loves all his babies

[@naomibanks3466]

Applause for the most capable, responsible, caring, beautiful and loving leader in Kpop history #leader like no other

[@MissWildheart]

👏👏👏👏👏👏😘😘

[@sweetescape4489]

Being a leader is a big responsibility. And that's why I always have a soft spot for a leader in every group. Plus taeyong have 17 kids + 3 premature baby. He needs to be on focus everytime. Care for each of them. I adore you so much taeyong ahhh. Fighting!

[@ncult7569]

true and another baby will born soon haha

[@finermashups]

NCT he has 2 more babies on nct2020

[@anae.juarez1969]

I am not a nct stan because they confused me with so many members and groups. But I really admired it him for taking the responsibility of leading so many people. It's not a easy task to do. And what I know he is one of the famous but he try to give the other members a Spotlight to shine.

[@veryverylucky]

Thank you for this!!!!! I hope more people will appreciate TY's leadership skills. He's so precious and amazing.

[@carmiaocampo]

I really admire Lee Taeyong not because of his looks, but because of his talent and leadership. To lead a group of more than 15 members is not easy, but he always gives his best to be a good one and to be the best “guardian” of NCT. 💚💚💚 You’re doing great, TY~ More power to you and to NCT. Praying for your successful career in the future as a group and as an individual. Fighting, Taeyong! Fighting. NCT! 💚💚💚

[@nenosuns]

Taeyong is such an incredible leader, now I know why everyone respects him, being in charge of other 17 people isn't easy at all, NCT would never function right if it wasn't for him 😫 let's support our baby and make sure he's always healthy and happy ❤❤

[@rutujas.5482]

I don’t stan NCT (yet), but this video of this guy is actually quite...sweet and heartwarming. Good on him. Your fandom will prevail, NCTzens.

[@bbaeri1557]

Of course, Idk how SM did it but they're leaders are *ONE* of the most reliable leaders in all kpop grps.

[@Ja-19997]

I love it how Taeyong handle this big amount of group ❤ such a wonderful Leader 😍👏

[@teradanielle]

My favorite leader. :')

[@jess_rose_26]

Best leader & also the members are very respectful towards him that's adorable ❤️

[@joykimberlysalvador4923]

Taeyong deserves to become the leader of NCT. He’s not just a leader for his members, but acts like a mom and a dad. He’s perfect.

[@pj-ku8ot]

He's the perfect example of a leader! Not greedy, always taking care of the other people first instead of himself, polite, and kind 👏

[@shakiraasakura4959]

oh my...😊 respect to this man... my favorite part was when he whisper to taeil to be careful... taking care of the members while performing was admirable... i love him more...😍😍😍

[@kristinaarceyow]

RESPECT,man. Respect!!! As a constant choice of being a group leader since elementary up to my current job in every activity we have,all I can say is that....Salute to you,Lee Taeyong! I can't even imagine myself going through the same situation I had again when I was tasked as the thesis leader.That shit put me through hell.

[@victoriav6664]

im soft again

[@kanghyungi545]

Now you've 22 people to lead officially. Hehe...Nctzen and Taeyongfs will stand by you forever. Saranghaeyoooo

[@jeonnonononoway2380]

He always looks fierce on stage, seeing him off stage taking care of others just melt my heart. Taeyong you deserve the world ❤️

[@pyaali7237]

how can some people dislike this vid 😢 Taeyong is such a precious human being 💚

[@xyzcami]

i'm really so thankful to taeyong. He is always so caring with his members and he is such a sweetheart, he deserves so much love. I'm very proud for being an Nctzen and i'm so happy bc of all of them♡

[@gabytornay]

And NCTZEN always here for support, love and protect him everytime. Also if he said something we gonna do it. He have a lot of responsibilities but in the same time he looks very warming and friendly with them all.

[@MV-xf5rg]

He’s so aware of his surroundings u can see how much he cares for the members I had no idea so much went in to being a leader he is amazing he cares for all 18 members gives them attention and support and guides them so well you can see how hard he works and on top of that he composes songs and choreographs as well he is so dedicated and hardworking❤️

[@artacuno]

As a gymnastic teacher of 15 eleven-year-olds going to competitions n stuff I can somehow relate to what he's doing and all I can say he's doing an outrageously fantastic job. I'm so proud of him !!!

[@zeallineanandavirginia110]

I've never seen a better leader than Taeyong, he really cares about the other members and it isn't an easy task to literally look out for 18 other people including yourself

[@zuliqasyuhariq]

He is the 'Leeteuk' for this generation. Honestly for leader i always admire the leader from YG and SM

[@dearsunshine2193]

The best leader for NCT 😍❤️💞💚 I loved the video, thank you 😘💕

[@anuvenugopal5274]

I admire him. Really a role model in every ones life 😍😍Huge Respect to Taeyong for taking care of our boys. I hope he would give more importance to his health also❤❤

[@bushramalik8790]

I was in tears watching this whole God please this child😭👏❤💯

[@wendyisleen5380]

Im almost crying. Taeyong is the greatest leader, its not easy to handle 17 members and still counting. You deserves much loves taeyongggg

[@bequietdontcry4240]

HE DESERVES THIS POSITION AS A LEADER. DOING HIS RESPONSIBILITY AS AN ARTIST AND A LEADER TO 17 PEOPLE AT A TIME WOULD BE REALLY HARD IF YOU'RE STILL YOUNG AND INEXPERIENCED. *HE ALWAYS PUTS HIS MEMBERS BEFORE HIM AND PEOPLE NEED TO SEE THAT.* HE'S TRYING TO DO ALL THOSE THINGS AT THE SAME TIME. IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT AND WATCH OTHERS, YOU'D SEE HOW UNDERRATED TAEYONG REALLY IS. HE DESERVES ACTUALLY MUCH MORE THAN THIS AND ALSO NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF

[@jisungpark8135]

He is such a hard working person we should appreciate him always. We love you Taeyongie ❤️❤️

[@VasHappning]

So precious, honestly I think everyone has to agree that he's a great leader. Not many people would be able to look after and take care of so many people at once.

[@farsyai]

Even the members love and respect him I'm so soft. He is such a great leader 😍

[@Dumb4g]

Taeyong always being sweet toward his members ... feel like crying ... hes so kind yet still get many hates ... how can people hate this precious boy .., lets spread love for taeyong.. his personality is so beautiful ... and indeed sm always have good leaders ! Its like ... you cant even deny their presence as leaders.. and you just can know who is the leader ... taeyong .. good luck .. and take care of yourself too ...

[@jaxjaeger5487]

He is the most hardworking and best leader of all time

[@MK-sv9ee]

I feel so sad for him that when NCT U debut, there were so many of rumours that he is a bad person 😢😢 maybe he feels that he must do such great job to be a better person although he doesn't have to tho !!!!! I hope he won't feel such thing and enjoy his life ☹☹ he is such a good leader but isn't this hard for him I mean NCT is just keep on growing!!!

[@tin.mae00]

kim _exol Omg so true! He has been through a lot already and becoming a leader means he had to carry another huge burden on his shoulders 😢 It is hard esp now that he had to lead 17 of them (and 3 more to come), but let's just keep on showing him our love and support and protect him from malicious rumors since it's unfortunately all we can do for him. Thank you for appreciating Taeyong btw! 😭💚

[@MK-sv9ee]

Kristina Mae no need to thank me :) as you said it is all we can do for him and actually many of other idols are suffering from different kind of problems :( and for Taeyong I will support him forever because he deserves it 💗💗 I just hope he stays healthy despite of all this hard working he does 😢 ❤❤

Taeyong is such an amazing leader. He is the best leader of all in my eyes. He has so much responsibilities on his shoulders and he fulfills them very diligently ❤❤

[@wardahfaruqui9033]

[@dimplegal8782]

You have the leadership skills in you Taeyong and you always think of the kids first..keep working like that😍😍😍

[@blingbling11]

Taeyong might be fierce on stage but he's actually a softie. He really takes a good care of his members. Dealing with so many members is not easy. Plus he has to be the center / representative of NCT in many events, it's not easy as well. Wish all the good health, happiness, and success for Taeyong.

[@minjulie7392]

He is amazing.... That's why I love him so much.... Thank you TaeYong, you're a good leader for all babies...
