[@salankritagogoi7212]

Taeyong is always such an inspiration. The fact that a boy who had no intention of becoming an idol was found by SM and then he worked hard to the point that he excels in all the qualities of an idol. In your life there will always be obstacles. Nothing in life comes for free. Hardships and failures are a part of life. There will be people who mock you, laugh at you, tell you to give up. But it's you who take the final decision. Your life is what you make it. And when you succeed, thank yourself first. Because it was you who decided not to give up.

When people say that every idol has talent since the beginning, it’s not always true. Yes, some are born with a gifted voice, some are born amazing dancers. But some idols, like Taeyong, were born not even having the thought of being an idol and start with 0 talent to being part of one of the hottest kpop group across the globe. Hard work ALWAYS pays off, never give up guys, never.

[@nolaa.912]

Taeyong from beginning has that talent but it still doesnt show yet or he never realize that before. So depends on his hard work to pull that talent out. SM can see it so they offered him the audition and taeyong becomes who he is now.

this is mainly about me and how taeyong inspired me from this video so y'all don't have to read this if you aren't interested lol but anyways the fact that he started when he was 18 (he might have been 17 bc maybe his korean age was 18 ? idk but regardless of that) is so inspiring for me bc i've been wanting to be a good dancer ever since i was 14-15 when i first got into kpop one thing that discouraged me a bit was the fact that most of the dancers from kpop that inspired me to dance in the first place/that i look up to all started dancing when they were like 5 years old or just really young in general (momo from twice, seulgi from rv, seungyeon from clc, sinb from gf, lisa from bp and so many more but mainly these) i was also really inconsistent with my dancing back then and picking up dancing again at 18 made me feel a bit behind but now knowing that taeyong is so good at dancing and he started at 18 is so motivating for me anyways taeyong is an amazing leader and such an inspiration and i'm so glad to be a fan of his right now and i know that he's inspiring so many others too because of his leadership and how talented he is and how hard-working he is thank you for coming to my tedtalk

[@indianvloggerfromassam]

DUDE SAME I RELATE SO MUCH TO THIS I took up classical dancing at a young age but was so hopeless that my parents had to pull me out of it. I didn't dance for years until I got into kpop 2 years ago and tried a choreo a year back in january, when I was 17. Since then, I've been desperately wanting to get into dancing but all good dancers that I know (kpop and others) started out extremely young. So it was pretty discouraging and hopeless. Looking at taeyong and how much he improved fills me with so much motivation to start dancing again.

As I dug deeper into NCT even though it's debatable, I can say that Ten is the best dancer in all of NCT because of his natural talent but Taeyong is my favorite in the group. It it just inspiring to know his story. On how he was just nothing to becoming something special through hard work and perseverance. And his past mistakes (real or not) just shows that everyone can't be perfect will constantly make mistakes. I just get inspired and motivated from his story that he is one my role models and I respect him for it. This video is just great and should be seen more by NCTzens and other people too

[@Mermzies]

When you think about it, Toast got SM one of the most incredible idols ever

[@crow2533]

I researched a bit about this: most people don’t get casted off the street for no reason. Usually, it’s ulzzangs or people with REALLY good looks. In Taeyong’s case, that’s probably why he got casted (due to the fact he also modeled when he was younger for a T-shirt company). SM is known for casting a lot of idols with good looks too, so it’s nothing new. The person may have no talent, but that’s what SM is there to do. They train the trainee to have talent at either singing, dancing, acting, or rapping (most of the time, it’s a combination). So to everyone who is like me and feel like they have no talent, look at Taeyong and see how far he has come in his skill with rapping and dancing. Your dreams are never too far away! Just work for it and you will make it! :) Have a nice day!

[@claudiaeder6672]

I had a major breakdown yesterday, because I lack the skills needed to work in the musical theatre (I've always wanted to become a musical actress) and there's almost no possibility to learn those in my city.

It really gave me the hope and motivation to just try and learn as much as I only can and try getting into a musical theatre university when I finish high school.

[@acejini]

That's why this boy, more than just being my bias, is also my role model. Before, I didn't have any confidence in my dancing skills, i learned Blackpink's As if it's your last in TWO years (still can't do it properly right now but i would only practice it when my friends came over tho, so not often). Then, I started learning NCT's dances with his fancam. I soon found out that boygroups' dances were more suited for me. I would say, my moves are too rough for a girl ? I've always hated this part about me but thanks to Taeyong I learned how to embrace and turn what i thought were my defaults into my best qualities... I know I still lack a lot, but at least he gave me the motivation to improve myself. He doesn't know who I am and yet... I'm so grateful, it feels like I owe him one. Thank you if you read it until the end. I apologize for any bad mistakes i could've made since i'm not a native english speaker.

[@vita1596]

His progress is so fast, I mean he became a trainee in 2012 and became a center, main dancer & main rapper since when SM introduced the Smrookies in 2013. He only needed more than a year to get that title, I mean, I can't imagine how struggle he faced while undergoing that process. And haters still doubts him, without a lot of knowledge about him, if you have a lot of abilities not you who are looking for, but you are the one they looking for and that person is LEE TAEYONG!!

And I often regret that I didn’t tell them and sometimes I think that it’s too late for me. Many of my friends from school have been learning to dance for around 5 years or more. But the story of Taeyong gave me strength and belief that everything is possible and I can do it no matter what. So I’m planning to start my dance adventure. And every time that I lost my motivation I’ll always come back to his story to know that I never should give up and go after my dreams. I know that you’ll never read this but thank u Taeyong for everything you do for NCTzen sometimes not even intentionally. We will always love you ❤️💚❤️ 사랑해요 우리 태용이 ❤️💚❤️

I'm new in the fandom and i really thought that he was already a good dancer since childhood. i'm really impressed by how good he is. he is a really inspiration.

Main dancer, main rapper, visual, center, and leader. In Taeyong, we stan. Indeed a legend!

[@samson7593]

Taeyong always has the best aura and charisma on stage

[@nikkimunar4326]

from a bad dancer to a great dancer taeyong. SM is really that company who makes one talented people

[@soupbeetle7017]

taeyong went from a blank piece of white paper to a fucking masterpiece he's so hardworking not just talented.

[@esbeezs]

his story is so inspiring. seeing him improve and become better and better everyday just inspires me so much and motivates me to be better too. yongie is really so so amazing :(

[@Starbie233]

This was so motivating im crying 😭 His story shows that if you work really hard you can achieve your goals. I like to dance and I practice everyday but sometimes I feel like im lacking something. Taeyong is the main dancer of NCT and I really admire his dancing. The way he started out was me when I first started dancing so this video gave me hope and motivation 😅

[@anushkamidya7648]

This guy is a living legend. Such an inspiring soul he is.

[@cheekblush]

i genuinely thought he's been dancing since his childhood bc he is so insanely talented and flexible! he is an outstanding performer, can't believe he started to learn dancing only with 18!!

[@ed208]

People seem to look past why he is center, why he is main dancer, why he is main rapper. I love all the members, and they all worked hard. But some credit is due. The moment he sticks out, "Oh, it'd Taeyong... again" I mean bish, what do you think centers do? Not being in the spotlight? And it sickens me people don't appreciate him because he's Taeyong. His greatness is expected, and sometimes looked down upon. People don't hype him when he makes choreography, produces music, write lyrics or being the absolutely best leader there is but still remaining humble. Why? Cause he's fu*king Lee Taeyong. I agree with BoA. Those words are both a blessing and a curse. People tend to forget what a great performer he is. They get mad when he gets attention, and throws around "ow, the other members deserve the spotlight as well". And a toxic part of me wants to scream out "THEN TELL YOUR FAVES TO STICK OUT!!" and while I know that it's mostly SM's fault that he's seen as a spotlight hogger. But I'm getting tired of a large amount of the fandom, not saying that he has no skill, but not acknowledging it, or simply disregard all his efforts and hard work because it's what's expected of him. Taeyong could go Solo and have a very successful career, but he decided that he wants to see his members succeed first. I'm gonna say this, the T in NCT stands for Taeyong.

[@justaninfiredperson]

I can't even imagine his hardwork

[@danacute9367]

he's so genuine and innocent back then i'm soooft.

[@katelyzabagcat8939]

One year ago, when I fist discover NCT by wattpad story, Taeyong immediately catches my attention, when I saw him performed 7th sense era, I already fall inlove with him until superhuman era not only by his unreal beauty but also in his rap and dancing. Now... after I watched this vedio. I don't know what is the other term for DEEP, because really. I fall hard and deep for taeyong. He is beyond standard as an Idol, and I don't have regrets stanning talents and SM artists. From SNSD, EXO, RED VELVET AND NCT. This is really inspiring story of him, becoming so so so so much talented after a few years of training. Well he is born hardworking and determined. And he really is a good example of a person who does not easily discourage by words of disappointments, instead he helps himself and work hard to learn and learn and learn and discover his hidden talents. His not only handsome, not only talented but a man with high courage and determination. I don't know how many praises well be enough for him... he's just tooooo good!

[@christinejones1772]

Keythax Bagcat Yu 👏👏. Bravo ❣️ I couldn’t have said it any better 👍 and I totally agree.

[@mirhakhan8450]

I literally got into NCT because of Taeyong’s dancing

[@slash6511]

Imo he's the best artist (not just idol) of SM. He can do and lead everything. This is the type of guy with small budget can make himself an full album. And pur artist not just an simple performer.
