Taeyong, you worked hard in 2020.

[@encityShake]

I've planned about making this video since June and it sat heavy on my heart for so long. However, when the time actually came, I kept putting it off. I think it's because a part of me didn't really want to face reality - can any of you relate to this? At the back of my head I KNEW how hard it's been for Taeyong, but at the same time I also didn't want to actually face or confront it in detail. I wanted it to stay a vague image, because looking at it closely made me so upset. But I realized that whilst we could close an image, click away from an article, block a user; Taeyong couldn't. This WAS his life the entire year. His haters, his injuries...If anything, us not talking about it would just be downplaying how much he had to sacrifice. In his Vlives, he talked about his back pain multiple times. Every time he would do it in such a reassuring and nonchalant way, so when I watched the Vlives I didn't really take notice either. Now looking back, he was just putting on a brave face for us. And amidst that, he pulled off the iconic scene in MAW's MV where he was hanging off the chandelier. How much must his back have hurt? Same thing goes for SuperM's MV, where he said he couldn't physically for DAYS after filming. The Vlive clips I inserted in the video actually break my heart. You could clearly see he was not doing okay. Yet SM just kept pushing and pushing him, and he even had to go film Yu Hee-yeol's Sketchbook just shortly after Ruby's death. I watched an analysis video of Taeyong's dance style, and it pointed out something else I never noticed. You know the "stiff", "maniac" style he's always praised for? The analysis said it might just be because his back+neck hurt so much that he got used to moving stiffly in those areas to minimize the pain. He is always showing us his best side, giving love so generously to the point where he forgets to leave some for himself. Imagine the burden he has as the leader (with 23 members), the center, main rapper + dancer, and also having to compose on top of that. As someone who's followed NCT since debut days, I don't think I'll ever forget the harsh comments that were constantly thrown to him. He's not even my ult bias, but I admire his strength and courage so much. P.S. Happy New Year everyone💕

[@salankritagogoi7212]

Thank you so much for actually deciding to make this video🤍 I always skip when that video of him crying and apologising for the false rumour comes up. It hurts so much to watch someone being wronged.

I hope he can get a lot of confidence like he always give encourage to nctzen, I hope he can do what he said to nctzen too...

I believe nowadays more and more people are seeing the real Taeyong who is actually a good person and an extremely talented artist. Haters will continue to hate because that's what they do but Taeyong has shown his resiliency and how he has matured and grown as an artist and a person. His talent and leadership is undeniable to many in the industry and the professionals he has worked with have nothing but praise for him. His members look up to him, we his fans all over the world loves him to death! His achievements are in order and we will always be here to support and watch him soar and succeed even further.

[@148ESTHER]

#TAEYONG is one of the most interesting Kpop artists with Bigbang G-Dragon and Mamamoo Hwasa. His creativity, stage presence, expressive performances, rap making is unique and magnetic. His rap , voice tone and dance moves embody the concept of song. He never delivers the same thing always giving us another colour while keeping his signature. I'm starting to believe his hiatus is not only due to a physical injury. In his message to his fans on bubble or another platform, he spoke about gaining weight and that he needed a break. I hope it is not a burnout due to immense pressure and under appreciation by his agency. The SMTOWN live show was filmed long ago, before all the awards shows and events Taeyong took part in. I do not understand why he was not featured in the theme song of the event, he could have been sitting or why he was not featured on the tickets they published or drew or what ever? NCT without TAEYONG would not be NCT. He is the Soul, the Heart, the Face, the essence of the group. His part on SuperM Tiger Inside has been hailed by many music critics as one of 2020 most iconic moment in Kpop. I wonder if SM realizes they are lucky to have him on their team. He is a treasure. And even though the members who covered him on the Beyond Live and SMTOWN show did a good job, you could feel his absence, it's not the same. His stage presence has no equal.

[@Idk-yc5ct]

I have been a fan of kpop for a few years now and an NCTZEN for around a year. I don't think that people realise how hard it is to be an idol on it's own. You have so many responsibilities and hardships. Being in more than one group is even more tough coz you have to do double the work. Now imagine being the leader of 23 members. Lee Taeyong is honestly one of the strongest if not the strongest idol out there. Caring for and showing so much love towards the members, guiding them, teaching them and taking care of himself too while entertaining us, the fans. He does vlives when he probably wants to rest, he gives us advice and shows us love, he learns other languages for us. About the "scandal" I honestly think it's unfair. Everyone makes mistakes and it was years ago. I'm very glad that it's sorted out. Anyways. Taeyong, leader of 23 members, leader of NCT, you have done so well. We hope that you get well soon and that you will be able to rest a lot. You're very important to us and you're special. We love you! You have NCTzens always. Happy New year everyone I love you guys and show Taeyong extra love.

[@rukablackburn9526]

Stop talking about his scandal He done no mistake

[@ingridmar2008]

Taeyong deserves everything, he is the most hated NCT member, he has to take care of 22 chaotic children, he is in 2 groups, he has the most positions among all NCT members, he is the leader, he is the main dancer, he is the main rapper, he is the center he is the visual, and he work hard to be good at all them, he even con an injury and all you do is criticize him, he is one of the most complete leaders in the whole Kpop industry, this man is an ace, you never know how much he's hurt physically and emotionally, cause we are not him we are not in his shoes so we can criticize him, before criticizing him you should know him first #ThankYouTaeyong 💚

[@batoolaburayya]

I just hope a day comes when everyone appreciates him and all NCT members. People never know how much NCT members suffer physically and mentally off stage, yet they keep talking badly of them. I really hope they get the recognition, appreciation and, most importantly, the rest they deserve.

Taeyong went through the equivalent of a witch hunt because he called someone "fat" when he was 13 years old in a private forum where even the girl didn't know abt till Taeyong's blackmailer told her abt 5 years later. kpop comunity and nct fans were sending him and his family death threats over just that. I can't believe how horrible and traumatising it was for him but he still worked for the group and helped push it into 2020 he went to the company meeting alone\heard the company's ultimatums alone, he helped choreograph and direct the MVs and songs, he spent nights at the studio after a full day of practice and still this fandom doesn't appreciate him, it needs to change

Taeyong needs to be moved immediately from that student 'dome' to a flat of his own similar to Kae's where he can recuperate and be protected from conveyor belt use of NCT

Am sure it took such a troll on his health but still he didnt let us see it. Zis proves how much he is dedicated for what he loves to do and for his fans. Am not just fangirling in all seriousness in 2020 lee taeyong proved zat he deserved all the things he got. "You have fans who really love and respect you for the artist and person you are. We will always be there for you." Thats what i want to say. 2020 was NCT's year.

I'm quite new to the NCT fandom but honest to God I didn't know it was like this. Before I became a fan of the group, I heard about Taeyong's "scandals" but I did the research and didn't just go off of the rumours. I have such a huge amount of respect for Taeyong and all that he does. He has so much responsibility for the group, and he pushes himself all the time trying to make himself better, even if it isn't good for his health, like for example the moves he has to do that hurt his back? He goes through so much and people need to understand that before being an Idol, he is a Human! He's a human being with a heart, and feelings that can be hurt. He's a human being who's experienced many things and been given hate even though he's done nothing wrong. Taeyong is my bias of NCT along with Johnny. And he is one of the reasons I decided to Stan NCT. I watched a Kpop vine video, and there was a clip of Taeyong taking care of his members and I just had to check out the group. I mean, if their Leader cares so much for them and worries and wants to give them all the love they deserve than damn everyone who hates on him. He just wants to receive love like any other human being. Every human craves some sort of love and all he's getting is hate. He deserves so much more and to all the Czennies who love, support, and care about him even if he isn't their bias.. thank you. I may not have been in the fandom long but I know he deserves every bit of our love. #TaeyongSaranghae #TaeyongFighting #Taeyongiegetwellsoon

@@izzy4513 Ik, I've said this many times before but, I belong to another fandom (an old one xd) and I met nct bcs of him too, it can be said that in the middle of their career, but literally I looked for all the possible content to find out about them, what happened and what happened with TY etc. and to have to find out that even in his own group he can still not have peace from people who call themselves "fans". I am shocked by that hypocritical attitude of pointing out when NOBODY is exempt from mistakes (and less for something that has already been debunked), also the disrespectful in the comments of the "fans" having an ulterior motive against him in his words. His own teammates have literally said that it is difficult for him and that he is the one who is always doing the most for the team. But within this fandom it becomes a worse and worse war of solo stans and still having to deal with antis from outside, so I wish good luck for everyone new to nct's fandom.

How can people just say "I hope you all suffer horribly" like it's no big deal?! I mean, just, saying someone is a waste of oxygen is wrong on so many levels. It's like saying "I hope you die". Even saying "Mark Lee obviously worth to replace his position." Is not true at all, Taeyong is UNREPLACABLE. End Of Story. How do people not see how much he does for NCT? I wish everything could just apologize to Taeyong, he deserves better, I can't anymore, this video makes me cry. Just why. Why do people hate him so much? How could people just act like no one would notice if he was gone? People care more about the other members, then Taeyong. He's the leader yet he gets less love.

He's such a great person. People don't get the weight that are in his shoulders. He's the leader of the group he has to take account of everything going on and lead them. He's even on superm and they've sure been working so hard endlessly. They have to promote in different countries and for that he's even trying to learn so many languages and the one bashing him for his english are the native speakers that cannot speak korean. Even after being so busy and tired he still visits his studio and writes lyrics and people still have the audacity to call him names and defame him. He comes to live so frequent and speaks words of motivation. Everyone has a person whom they've never met just seen thru a screen and despite that have immense love and respect for that person. That person is TAEYONG for us Tyongf so just let us be and don't meddle. I hope everyone hating on him for nothing will someday experience the same thing.

He worked hard as an idol where as me in 7 years still can't do The 7th sense choreo, I still don't know how they did that srsly everyone here gave up on that choreo except me just cuz i'm stubborn ✌🏽 He's always kept fighting and only took a break when he was physically forced to, where as me a dancer who is currently lying on the floor after somehow stupidly hurting herself Jongmin how did u do this 🤦🏽‍♀️ I wish more people could open their eyes and see how hard working and amazing this man is, how much he has been through, like I don't know everything he has been through I haven't seen it all yet its blatantly obvious how hard he works. Like i can't even put it into words rn, I gotta get back to practice now, they said 'if I want to' , like I said, Taeyong taught me to keep going, and thats exactly what i'm gonna do, now I need to learn how to take better care of myself Also i feel like the only person who didn't get emotional with this, maybe thats cuz my emotions don't seem to work a lot, i'm insanely weird i know that, Guys lets try and show Taeyong how much we love him, how much he means to us. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I haven't finished the vid left i'll finish it after practice 👋🏽 (also sorry for any mistakes theres a power cut here ;-; )

He is an amazing person. He has so many ideas. He's talented. looks good. He is friendly. helpful. Has a warm heart. There is so much about him that cannot be summed up in words. Such people don't know anything about nct or taeyong. They are only there to let go of their frustration. Just to get rid of their hatred. The break was a well-deserved break. And as far as I'm concerned, he could get even more parts in song. He should ignore such hate comments even when it is difficult. And pay more attention to the positive comments.

[@nurafni37]

he's too precious, I want to hug him so badd>< 수고해서 태영아 2020년 동안 너무 고마워서 사랑해 💖

[@raceltolits92]

gosh. my heart hurts.. I just want to hug Taeyong. really, people are scary... ;( I hope he takes his time recovering.

[@novs4736]

I'm so proud of him 💚

[@-PawarDivya]

No matter how much other criticize him but we all nctzen know how much he work hard not only 2020 but every year he is giving his best to us by his best performance and the reason others cannot see that becuz they only judge him by few incidences but guys u cannot tell from how the book is from cover right...... So judge him by his character,his stage ,his performance, his composition ,his ideas not by some scandals We all nctzen with you so take rest and shine after Recovering like always❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@caviedesval]

he is so hardworking and he didn't want us to worry about him even though he was hurting 😭 hopefully he gets better and stay healthy and happy since that is the most important 💓

[@Brie-fi4ci]

I love taeyong and even though I do want to see more of u know winwin yuta and the others but when I see taeyong do his part I cant even complain bc taeyong gives a unique flare to his part that I cant even think of who else besides him that could do that part of the song justice and so I could see if ppl got mad at him if he didnt try or wasn't good but almost everytime i hear his or Mark's part on any song I'm blown away and I'm not saying that the others aren't good enough but those 2 do their jobs so well that u rly cant complian and u can tell how much they work

[@kevinkyu1]

Tbh Taeyong is one of the most pure hearted man I've ever seen. Just from the way he talks and acts, you can already tell that he's warm and very friendly. I'm also very proud and happy that I become a fan of him coz everytime he talks about himself in his vlives and gives advices, it totally changes my perspective in life. He knows that he lacks in many ways and that not all will like him but instead he still wishes those haters their well-being. Bubu is such a pure hearted, loving and caring leader, brother and member and I hope that people see that he is more than just a pretty face. Haters claimed that he's the "FAVORITE" but to be on top he had to also work 100 times harder before he can achieve all that. He has proven himself to be the best in every possible way by becoming a better a version of himself every day. Haters are born coz they cant be like the person they hated and they will never be a quarter of how talented, loving and nice Taeyong is.

[@themist.726]

this is so sentimental that i teared up

[@nia_dsc]

He is the best leader ever. He managed to take care of 22 members fairly and all the members also love him. He deserves all the love.

[@Annette_C1207]

I seriously don't understand the people saying Taeyong should be kicked out of the group. He even apologized for missing out in group activities, and the whole scandal, even though he did literally nothing wrong. Taeyong is one of the most hard-working leaders in Kpop, and he has worked super hard to get where he is. He has been struggling with back pain for 4 years, and he refused to show any of his pain to Nctzens and other people. I wish you the best recovery Taeyong! Come back when you are fully healed. Nctzens are supporting you!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Pamisaran25]

I don't know a lot about this man and NCT but after reading the comments I could say that his an inspiration and joy for the people around him. To all his fans hope you guys continue to love this him and support him all the way. Lee Taeyong is meant for NCT and he deserved to be their leader and to be called idol. If you hate him then go no one will stop you but to tell you hating him is nothing compared to the love his fans gave to him. Lee Taeyong fighting 💪

[@hinaroaira3314]

I love this guy so much

[@isabella-zr]

i really don’t understand those “nctzens” who just stan one or two members and say awful things about taeyong, mark, lucas, ten, jaehyun, haechan. because to those “fans” they are the ones who stoles the spotlight from their biases. lol. they’re just doing their work. and you can’t hate them for this. in case of taeyong the hate is the most massive one. he works so hard to be an example for other members, but what he gets for this? hate from one-member-stans. i agree that some members doesn’t have much screen time or a lot of lines in songs but this fact doesn’t give you a reason to hate him since he’s not the one in charge of decisions made during line distribution. taeyong isn’t in my bias list, but nevertheless i appreciate him, his effort, him being a mom to 22 chaotic kids. he works so hard to appeal to the audience but the audience doesn’t seem to like it. but i’m pretty sure that if he doesn’t give his 120% the audience will call him unprofessional, “he doesn’t deserve to be a leader”. i love taeyong (and every ot23 nct member), i have no reasons to hate him. he’s a normal human being who just tries to do as good as he can at what he’s doing. this hate towards him needs to stop.

[@kcrushcrush3018]

Who have the right to say that taeyong can be kicked out from the group ???? This is so frustrating I m pissed off WTF they can't think that how much taeyong is working so hard for the group I curse the people whever said taeyong can be kicked out Shameless people !!!!!! 🤬😡🤬🤬😠

[@maureennicole1314]

i think he is the busiest idol and the most talented idol

[@kiraii9109]

The fact that they see Lee Soo Man and Taeyong as ‘sugar daddy and sugar baby’ or ‘favoritism’ in a creepy sexualized way its so disgusting like why would they think that…. Have they ever considered that Taeyong is so talented to let go and the rumors ARE NOT TRUE and has been debunked by Dispatch???

[@k-dragon3153]

SM is really trying to break their Aces. Its honestly a miracle Mark hasn't already flamed out and Taemin's schedule is 🤯

[@jenoduor6768]

I started seriously listening to NCT in 2020 and I slowly started to notice Taeyong and his off cam moments are what sold me to stan NCT because he was in the group, but the comments of the fandom and the utter lack of respect towards the group's leader is why I opted to never refer to myself as an nctzen. I love the boys but the fandom is not it for me and so I decided to label myself as a tyongf cause it is the only way I feel I can give Taeyong strength and he needs it. He has dealt with hate from the moment he debuted till now and he is admirable in his way of dealing with it. One thing I am grateful for is that he finally took a break after yearsand years of giving and giving to a fandom that looks for any opportunity to bring him down. It was a short break but I hope he found peace and a moment to breathe. He has done alot and that to me is enough. He does not need to give 120% anymore because even his 50% is enough, we know how talented you are, though knowing his character, he always feels the need to offer the very best of himself and Taeyong I will appreciate any kind of you that you put forward and be vocal of how you are doing well. I was never one to comment and has always been a passive fan but I love you too much to not be active. So Taeyong stay healthy, be it physically or mentally, let it be your priority. As a Tyongf I will always support you.

[@QuynhNguyen-zo9ev]

I believe he will have a lots what he deserves. The best perfect guy. Love him more, protect him and support what he wants to do ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ remember he is center that all idols in group want to be. Position C and leader not easily to be forgotten. That’s a gift of him. You should be proud of him. HE IS AN ANGEL. KPOP AND SM IS SO LUCKY WHEN THEY HAVE HIM.

[@Sueri1]

The fact that both Jaejoong and Taeyong are my biases . Haters don't know how hard a center works.

[@harmony137]

To me, even back when I was just a nonfan, I feel like he earned his center spot fair and square. He’s talented, charming, stage presence over-flowing, ppl Want to see him. Now as I get more and more fascinated by him, and see all the pain and hardship he has to suffer just bcuz those the lines and spotlight that I, a NONFAN, see perfectly clear how well-deserved they are, I feel a sting in my heart. It’s already exhausting having to handle so much responsibility as leader, main dancer, main rapper, face of the group, now you have to listen to all the harsh things thrown at you, not only from antis, not only from your “scandals”, but from the fans of your own group! How hurtful must that be? I’m sad when I see some NCT fans on my tl gush abt this and this members, but never abt him, like they’re ignoring him. In fact, this was the reason why I got curious and went to look him up. Cuz to me, he’s always left the deepest impression. I’m a fan of another SM group, but Taeyong is rly a sweet and talented human being, I want to look out for him even more now. NCTzens please cherish your precious leader, he rly deserves it....

[@noneworld_15]

There is not a day gone when he didn't do his best in anything. He always solves stuffs on stage so professionally. He deserves even better than the best. Lots of love for 우리 태용이!!!!

[@amicosquad5284]

Things I always have when someone's having difficulty - *I'm not in their shoes.* If I was in Taeyong's shoe, I think I couldn't endured. Maybe my friends and families will find me in my room overdosed. The pain, the pressure, the stress are too much. Dear Taeyong, during your break - I hope you found yourself happy. Not happy as in your face. Happy inside out. You deserve it. Everything. You're really strong and I getting more inspired by you everyday. Goodluck in your life. Make it easy and be happy. Always.

[@tomatomafia2932]

Taeyong,we love you😌💚✨

[@carlarv928]

I didn't expect to cry, but I did. Taeyong only deserves love. Hope he is resting well, we'll be here waiting patiently for his recover 💚

[@ladavis570]

he worked so hard and maybe even too hard . It's so sad to see him having to take a break and probably not because he wanted too but because he HAD too. I really hope he rests a lot both physically and mentally during this time. We're all waiting for him

[@joselitohernandez1354]

This is why I have tons of respect for Kpop stars, with all the hardships that they have to go through from the start. From being a trainee for years without guarantee of debut without proving yourself worthy of being an artist, to finally debuting and maintaining your worth of being a well-respected and admired celebrity. Taeyong Bubu, you’ve endured and overcame it all, and we czennies hope that you rest all you need and want to fully recuperate cuz honey, you can’t buy health. We don’t care how long it takes, but we care about your well-being so rest up. You’ve been taking care of 22 members, fans, and battling false rumours and sasaengs, now it’s time to take care of yourself🥰✨we love you Bubu💚

[@whattheflute7942]

I feel like Taeyong is one of the most UNDERRATED(yeah I know what I'm saying) idols in kpop, the appreciation he gets is NOTHING for how much talented he is I MEAN IMAGINE BEING LEE TAEYONG AND NOT GETTING THE APPRECIATION YOU DESERVE. HE'S SO SO HARDWORKING. ONE OF THE MOST HUMBLE PEOPLE OUT THERE. THIS IS AN UNFAIR WORLD AFTER ALL AND IMAGINE NOT STANNING NCT AND LEE TAEYONG

[@brekareymar]

As an INFJ (he has the same personality if i don't remember bad) every emotion hits hard. Really hard. In the surface maybe we see his smiling face but i know that he was suffering, his eyes were losing bright in every Vlive and his body more and more stiff.... I'm so sorry that he had to go through this... I know from second hand the hurt that having herniated back produces... Because my grandma and cousin had it and they screamed from pain every time they moved, breathed, and everything. And to imagine that he had to go though it and still be a perfect idol, dancer DO THAT CHERRY BOMB DANCE AND KICK IT AND EVERY NCT AND SUPERM PROMOTIONS LIKE NOTHING?! For real he's one of the strongest persons i have ever seen in my life... He's so young yet so mature for his age.... He doesn't deserve this. He doesn't deserve us. He doesn't deserve that hate... That hell.... I hope he rest for some time. He deserves it. Poor Taeyongie.... :(

[@--Fullsun]

Being so overworked...you can see the toll it’s taking on him...it’s worrying...and saddening..watching someone who works so hard still be torn apart like paper... Taeyong started off not knowing how to do a lot of things. Yet he still learned how to do them all. He deserves his place as leader and center. People like Taeyong don’t pop up a lot in the music industry. For example David Bowie. There will never be another David Bowie. There will never be another person like Taeyong. This doesn’t mean the other members don’t deserve it. They’re all talented. There will never be another Nct. Be happy rn that we can listen to their music. That they’re still together. Because once we’re all older this music will fade away slowly.

[@marikaz1237]

Taeyong deserves the world but the world doesn’t deserve him. He’s so sweet and so caring and so kind.

[@md.nasiruddin7136]

i'm so proud of Taeyong. he deserves the world. he deserves everyone's love and respect. i can't believe some people still hate him. Taeyong is so hardworking,passionate,loving and that's why he deseves the best. tbh this world doesn't even desrve a soul like him.

[@sofianilsson9535]

He deserves the world and yet gets so much hate. I just wanna tell him he’s amazing, he’s doing a great job. He should take a break when he feels like the injuries and stress takes over. He really deserves soo much, he put in so much effort. You’re awesome Taeyongie♥️

[@berena04]

I really don't understand why there is so much hatred towards him, why are they obsessed bringing up issues from the past or making up idol rumors? People should understand that they too are human and they can also make mistakes. I really hope that Taeyong can rest and recover from his injuries and that he ignores the comments of the hurtful people because the true fans of him and the NCT members will always be supporting him.

[@vf1154]

"under stand"

[@jasperi9378]

He doesn't deserve those bad comments, or bad issues that they're saying did bad things even he doesn't don't you see even he has health issues he's managing it so well while he's performing with he's companions in their performances like he doesn't has health issues even his back is aching, he deserve to rest but he doesn't deserve to leave the group where he shines so bright. He's like overpowered anime character 'cause he's very talented he deserve to be that popular. If Lee Taeyong groups become legend like TVXQ and SuJu at future maybe he can leave but if in these era no he can't leave it's too early and he's still need shine until become legend and idolize by new generations of male kpop idol groups but for now plsss Lee Taeyong don't leave the group just take a rest until you feel better and can perform with members without risking your health issues ok get well my Idol Taeyong😊✨
