NCT WISH may be new on the scene, but member Sion is already proving himself to be a thoughtful and kind idol. Recently, Sion gained praise online for defying staff orders to make a fan happy.
According to a fan account, the fan had recently undergone a legal name change. Unfortunately, many fansign events, where idols sign autographs for fans, have rules stating autographs can only be signed to the registered name to prevent reselling. Despite showing staff legal documentation proving the name change, the fan was told it was “their problem.”
Feeling discouraged after receiving autographs from other members with their old name, the situation took a turn for the better when they reached Sion. The fan explained their situation, and Sion, in a quick act of kindness, reportedly canceled the autograph with the old name and re-signed it with their new legal name. The fan noted that Sion did this discreetly, seemingly to avoid staff noticing.
The fan, touched by Sion’s gesture, simply wanted to share their excitement about the name change, not necessarily requesting an accommodation. However, Sion’s thoughtful action turned a potentially disappointing experience into a positive one.
The fan’s tweet about the interaction went viral, garnering over 600,000 views and praise for Sion’s attentiveness and willingness to go the extra mile for a fan. This incident highlights the growing bond between NCT WISH and their fans, showcasing the importance of small gestures that can leave a lasting impression.
Sion’s Current Whereabouts: Sion continues to promote with NCT WISH, a sub-unit of the popular K-Pop group NCT. NCT WISH recently debuted and is currently busy with promotional activities for their debut album.
