On October 7, 2025, Winwin and Chenle attended an NBA game in Abu Dhabi together. While their joint appearance initially excited fans, SM’s official accounts only shared content featuring Chenle. In one clip posted to NCT’s official TikTok, fans noticed Winwin being cropped out or blurred, sparking outrage online.
Despite being a member of NCT 127 at debut and later moving to WayV, Winwin has not been active in either unit’s recent comebacks or promotions. His focus has shifted to acting in China, leading to fewer updates on NCT’s group pages.
Still, fans were hopeful his recent public outing would signal some form of acknowledgment yet SM’s selective posting has fueled speculation once again: Is Winwin still considered part of NCT?
Screenshots of fans expressing their disappointment went viral:
- “Why is he always ignored?”
- “Stop treating him like he’s not a member.”
- “If he’s still NCT, then prove it.”
In SM Entertainment’s most recent statement regarding NCT’s fixed member lineup, Winwin is still listed as part of the group, but the lack of inclusion in official content continues to upset longtime supporters.
