NCT WISH’s Sakuya caught in nickname drama after Mega Coffee backlash
NCT WISH’s Sakuya is facing controversy over the use of the nickname “baby bread.”
Mega Coffee, running cup holder events for all NCT WISH members, posted a notice mentioning Sakuya’s November birthday. They used “baby bread” to describe him since he loves bread and has a bread-related nickname.
Stray Kids fans quickly attacked the post, insisting “baby bread” is exclusive to their member I.N. The backlash forced Mega Coffee to delete the original post and re-upload it without using the nickname.
Fans argued fiercely in comments:
“I understand that Sakuya is cute, but I don’t think it’s right to use a nickname that has been officially used by a senior idol for many years. ‘Baby bread’ is I.N.’s and Sakyua can be Sakubbang. Please change the post so that this cute idol won’t get criticized. I’m saying this in the nicest way possible.”
— Stray Kids fan
“Why is everyone attacking…having the same nickname is a sensitive subject. I am also sensitive about it; since the brand has fixed the post, let’s stop talking about it. I’m embarrassed to see STAYs attacking NCT WISH.”
— NCT WISH fan
“‘Baby Bread’ is a nickname used in K-Pop for Stray Kids’ I.N. Don’t use this nickname for other idols to gain popularity.”
— Stray Kids fan
“They finally changed it. So f*cking hilarious.”
— Comment reacting to the brand update
Meanwhile, netizens criticized fans for the petty fight, calling the attacks “overboard” and “weird.”
“What’s so great about ‘baby bread’? It’s not even a creative name, what’s wrong with them?”
“Such losers…what are they doing.”
“It’s weird that they are attacking the account just because of a nickname.”
“I really don’t get the K-Pop fandom…”
“I don’t get it…they really have nothing better to do.”
“So overboard…no one even knows about it.”
Mega Coffee’s swift deletion and re-upload suggest they’re monitoring the situation closely. The nickname feud continues to stir up heated debates online.
