What happened

Johnny, Jaehyun, and Haechan of NCT 127 dance to the repeated “Boom Shakalaka” hook in a short anniversary promotional clip.

Why Koreans care

The comment “the youngest members and the eldest” reflects Korean idol fandom’s age-based framing: “maknae-z” means a playful grouping of the youngest members, while “eldest” marks the group’s oldest member. Commenters also switch from Haechan’s stage name to affectionate forms of his given name, Donghyuck, signaling fandom familiarity rather than referring to another person.

What Korean viewers say

Majority: Commenters overwhelmingly turn the adult performers into cute characters rather than discussing choreography: “Why are these grown men so cute?” and “What is that bite-sized cotton candy on the far left?” Fandom: Several focus specifically on Haechan wearing pink and ask stylists to use brighter colors more often: “Haechan, don’t wear only black short-sleeved shirts—please wear bright colors often. Pink suits you so well.” Minority: One commenter singles out Haechan’s musicality within the deliberately cute performance: “Even in the middle of this, Haechan’s head movement still has the groove.”

What you'd miss

“I’m seriously punching because Jaehyun is so cute” is exaggerated Korean fandom language for being physically overwhelmed by cuteness, not hostility toward him. Likewise, “bite-sized cotton candy” playfully makes the tall person on the left sound tiny, soft, and edible; it is affectionate visual hyperbole, not a literal description.
