The issue involving Mew Suppasit and Jaehyun NCT started with NCTzen's question about the Afterglow Cover MV. It was mentioned that the Cover MV, which was made to look like a travel vlog, appeared very similar to Jaehyun NCT's video, I Like Me Better, even from the first scene.

Due to this similarity, NCTzen requested Mew to immediately delete the video and apologize to Jaehyun. As a result, the original Afterglow Cover MV has now been removed from circulation.
