NCT‘s Taeyong recently updated his Instagram for the Chuseok holidays. He took a train down to his family home. It seems like his older sister made the booking for him, for he tried to ask her for the seat number but failed to get a response. As a result, he had to sit on the extra folding seats near the luggage compartment instead.
He posted a screenshot of their text messages.
Taeyong: “Where is my seat? Kekeke.”
Taeyong: “Tell me my seat please.”
Taeyong: “Heyyyyy.”
Taeyong: “Heyheyhey. Keke.”
Taeyong: “Heyyyyyy. Pick up the phone.”
Taeyong: “Hey kekeke.”
Taeyong: “I’m getting on first.”
Taeyong: “You booked the premium seats but right now I’m sitting on the folding seats.”
Fans who zoomed in realized that he had sent a photo of himself flipping off his sister.
Many took it lightly as a normal, humorous interaction between siblings.

Despite the good reaction from fans, some tried to use it to bring him down. An account known to post gossip about celebrities reposted the images with the caption, “NCT’s Taeyong, flips off sister.”

Despite their attempts, many simply brushed it off as a normal interaction.

Isn’t cursing just a greeting between siblings?
