As this difficult year comes to a close, and we’re reflecting back on moments both high and low, comforting words from NCT come to mind. Here are some special messages, words, and advice the members have said to make czennie feel better in hard times. 

TAEIL

 “I believe if you put in some effort, your dreams will come true.” 

(NCT DAILY: NCT 127 day)

“To everyone out there I just wanted to say that whoever is listening (reading) this is absolutely beautiful and there is nothing you need to change in your appearance, you’re already as perfect and unique as you are, don’t let anyone tell you differently.” (NCT Night Night)

TAEYONG

Your efforts will never betray you, all your efforts will pay off.”

(NCT DAILY: NCT 127 day)

“Life is hard… no it’s not that life is hard, but that there are just difficult moments, and there will always be difficult times, and if you keep on feeling tired then it is not your fault, it’s the situation to blame, so don’t blame yourself for it.” (Vlive 2020.08.25)

YUTA

“If there is something you want to do or want to achieve, believe in yourself until the end.”

(NCT Daily: NCT 127 day)

“Many people tend to believe in what is visible. But I tend to think that you have to look at the things deep within you… I think what you’re content with becomes your identity and style.” 

(Men’s Nom-No, finding my style with NCT)

KUN

“Everyone has their own talents. Everyone is useful, you have different talents and abilities. Every human being has been blessed with different abilities. Don’t worry, you should experience many things, go for it!” (WayV-ariety: Take Your Worries Away)

“Most people say that if you don’t give up and work hard, you’ll achieve your goals, but I´d like to say something different, work at your own pace.

(NCT Daily: NCT 127 day)

HENDERY

“In fact, you already have an amazing strength because you know it yourself. Knowing which part of yourself you’re lacking is also an amazing strength, there’s many times when people don’t know their own problems, but you know it. Since you know it like this, you remember the time you lost your confidence, you think of the problems during that time and search for a good method to solve them. It will certainly help you.” (WayV-ariety: Take Your Worries away) 

RENJUN  

“There are some things you cannot change, but what’s important is how you see it, if you see something bad, no matter how pretty they look, everything will look bad, but if you try to see it with a good filter, everything will become beautiful, just change your perspective.” (Vlive 2020.11.28)

“Have you ever put the puzzles together by any chance? I think it’ll be really good to put the puzzles together these days. As you focus on putting each piece together, all trivial thoughts would be gone and I think you’ll be satisfied as you see the completed puzzle. I think that puzzles are similar to our life, whether it’s your memory when you were young, those moments when you feel good or sad, memories with friends, I think all the pieces put together became the me I am now.” (Haechan Radio Ep.3 “Reload” Moment In Life)
