NCT 127’s JOHNNY Describes the One Korean Custom He Just Can’t Wrap His Head Around: ‘Not For Me’
The Chicago-born K-pop superstar gave fans some insight into his personal preferences on this week's debut episode of his JOURNEY with JOHNNY podcast.
NCT 127's Johnny discussed his unique perspective on Korean customs in his debut podcast episode. The American-born K-pop star, 31, revealed that one aspect of Korean culture he struggles to comprehend is the sauna culture, also known as "Jjimjilbang." Johnny explained that from a young age, Koreans are introduced to saunas and often use them with family and friends, but he finds the idea of naked saunas uncomfortable.
Despite this, he acknowledges that Korean spas, where you wear clothes, are acceptable to him. Johnny also touched on other aspects of Korean etiquette and customs, encouraging visitors to respect the country's recycling rules and be cautious with language. NCT 127 recently released their seventh studio album, BLINGY, and are preparing for their fifth tour, Neo City: The Redline, set to begin in Seoul on September 18.
