Recently, an online community board garnered attention regarding a post about an idol being a favorite among senior artists.
Of course, I like NCT WISH’s Yushi, too. But, aside from fans, many other celebrities and sunbaenims seem to love him. NCT 127 and BoA seem to like him…why do you think that is? Is it because he doesn’t talk much and is shy?

In particular, NCT’s Doyoung has totally fallen for Yushi’s adorable charms!
During the 2024 AAA Awards, fans loved seeing their interaction with one another.

Doyoung even mentioned how adorable Yushi was to fans in a Bubble message after the ceremony.
Why is Yushi so cute? I can’t take it anymore. He waved to me.
— Doyoung
In the behind-the-scenes video of the year-end ceremony, fans saw Doyoung trying to stop Yushi from leaving, stating just how cute he was.

Question: Who is a senior that you can trust and rely on?
Yushi: When I watch content with Ryo and Doyoung hyung, I can see that he has a lot of interest in NCT WISH. I am always thankful for his kindness towards us.
Singer BoA is also known to be a huge fan of Yushi!
During the SMTOWN Live concert, fans noticed BoA playing around with Yushi.

Netizens also gave their thoughts on why Yushi was a favorite among other SM artists.
- “Idols that were SM artist faves were all really shy and introverted. D.O., Seulgi, and Mark were almost always practicing and were praised by senior artists. The more shy and embarrassed they got, the more the seniors thought they were adorable.”
- “He’s just so freaking adorable. He’s like a dumpling that you just want to bite.”
- “He must be really well-mannered in private. His quiet personality is a plus in becoming a favorite among the artists.”
