‘Johnny: I received a letter from Doyoung before. I still have it.
Doyoung: I really can’t forget the memories of that time.
Johnny: At that time, he wrote a lot on a small piece of paper and left it on my bed. I couldn’t throw it away.
Doyoung: Even when we have a concert 20 years from now, I don’t think I can forget it.
Johnny: It’s a letter that can evoke tears in me, Doyoung, and the fans.’ NCT Night Night
“I feel like people have this need to needed. And I felt that for the first time, and I was like, ‘There are people who really want me here, so it’s not like I’ve been doing something wrong the whole time.’ And I put my trust not only in myself but in someone else for the first time, and I think that was a big moment. I learned something.” Daebak Show
“So at the time, Doyoung did something particularly memorable… That day, Doyoung said, ‘Hyung, please stay,’ or something like that. Because originally, Doyoung and I didn’t make the cut and weren’t in NCT 127. He asked me to stay. At the time, I told him, ‘These are the difficulties I’m facing. I’m looking forward to the next chapter of my life.’ We spoke. We ate. Then, we went back to the dorm and went to sleep. I think Doyoung even wrote me a letter asking me not to go.” The Lost Boys
