The situation
WayV's Ten has a rule about being addressed as "hyung" by his younger members, which he's enforced since pre-debut. This rule was famously referenced in a dressing room vlog where he told members not to "cross the line." Xiaojun recalled their first meeting in 2018, where he failed to show proper respect, greeting Ten with a casual "Yo, wassup?"
What the internet did with it
- Xiaojun remembered Ten's correction, saying "He sighed and said I shouldn’t talk to him like that." This gentle scolding helped Xiaojun learn about Korean culture and respectful communication.
- The incident showcases Ten's role as a guiding figure in the group, with Xiaojun appreciating the lesson on *_눈치_ (nuhn-chi, social awareness and etiquette)* in their early interactions.
- — "He really set the tone for their group dynamic and it's nice to see Xiaojun acknowledging the importance of that correction."
The open question
How this early lesson in *_사이다_ (sai-da, a sense of social propriety)* has influenced Xiaojun's relationships with other members and his approach to group interactions, particularly in a culturally diverse group like WayV, remains to be observed in their future activities.
