NCT’s Jaemin Was Unexpectedly Caught on Camera Doing This

NCT Jaemin just had a viral moment — and it wasn’t planned.

The controversy began when fans spotted Jaemin biting into an apple in his latest Esquire pictorial. Looks like a perfect editorial shot, right? Wrong.

Behind the scenes, the apple wasn’t even meant for him. An editor from the shoot spilled the tea on Instagram.

“Actually, the apple was being used as a prop for Jeno right before this.
But then Jaemin showed up and took a bite out of it saying he was hungry… The director who captured that exact moment, you’re the best.”

Soon after, fans blew up online, praising Jaemin’s natural charm and the perfect timing of the photographer.
