Recently, a photo of Jungwoo NCT taken with other members during video content shooting surprised fans. The appearance of Jungwoo's arm wearing a short-sleeved white shirt caught attention. This is because there seems to be a black-colored mark similar to a tattoo on his arm.

However, it turns out that the mark suspected to be a tattoo is just black mud sticking to his arm. This has been confirmed by the fansite master behind the photo of the NCT members. They stated that the black mark on Jungwoo's arm came from their struggle with nature as they were shooting outdoors at that time. Fans seem relieved and even more enthusiastic because of this misunderstanding.

Talking about Jungwoo's career journey seems inseparable from his interest in the performances he watched during elementary school. Since then, he became interested in dancing and decided to enter a dance academy. His interest in the arts continued until he wanted to become a singer, and then he auditioned. After that, he joined SM Entertainment management in 2014. Jungwoo trained and prepared to become a new idol until he was introduced as SM Rookies in 2017. Only in 2018, he debuted with NCT U with their first full album, NCT 2018 Empathy. In the same year, he also debuted with NCT 127 with their first full album, NCT #127 Regular-Irregular. Looking at Jungwoo's career journey from the beginning, where he joined a dance studio since he was young, the long trainee period seems to be something ordinary for him.  

4. Jungwoo NCT Graduated from Gimpo Jeil Technical High School

Although now an idol with excellent vocal and dance skills, Jungwoo NCT did not pursue the arts field in formal school. He graduated from the mechanical engineering department at Gimpo Jeil Technical High School. During his three years as a trainee, Jungwoo said goodbye to his friends, pretending to go for cooking lessons, when in fact he went to SM for training.

Jungwoo's educational background also makes him appear heroic when NCT experiences electrical problems. According to kpopindo.id, Jaehyun, who is also a member of NCT 127, once revealed a story that Jungwoo worked hard to fix the fuse box in the NCT 127 dormitory. At that time, Jungwoo went back and forth between the 5th and 10th floors to check the fuse box in the NCT 127 dormitory.

As a graduate of a technical high school, NCT members often ask for Jungwoo's help when there are electrical malfunctions. Jungwoo is indeed versatile and deserves to be loved!

A photo of Jungwoo NCT smoking has caused a stir among NCTzen fans. Fans have had mixed reactions, with some expressing their liking for it while others criticize Jungwoo's smoking pose. However, the commotion is not only about the cigarette itself. Fans are more concerned about the origin of the photo. The problem is, the photo appears to have been taken secretly in a private setting.

This has raised suspicions that the photo was taken by a sasaeng fan. NCT members have often been harassed by sasaeng fans, even during live broadcasts. This has led fans to send emails urging SM Entertainment to pay more attention to the safety of their idols under their agency.

6. Jungwoo NCT Makes a 'Cameo' in the Drama ITS OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY

The fact about Jungwoo NCT is quite absurd. Because, Jungwoo and Jaehyun's figures do not actually appear in the drama ITS OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY. Jaehyun's photo for the Try Again music video promotion in 2017 is seen as the computer screen background in Seo Ye Ji's office.

Jungwoo's presence in this drama is even more absurd. The name Kim Jungwoo, which is the same as the name of the NCT member, is seen in the scene when Kim Soo Hyun opens a locker. Although it may seem trivial, NCTzens who are observant managed to find this fact.

Even though it only appears as a computer background photo and name, it is interesting enough to be a topic of conversation among fellow NCTzens, right?
