Fans and netizens have been arguing if the criticism is fair or just an overreaction. Let's all together dive into the issue and see what made netizens argue over the group's pizza-eating habits.
The Pizza Controversy
The controversy started when a video clip showed NCT Dream members struggling to finish a pizza.

The debate went on in a Korean online forum which led to discussions as to whether it is right to judge others based on their eating habits.
Cultural Differences and Personal Preferences
Some netizens have pointed out that the pizza size in the video is larger than the standard Korean pizza size, which could explain why the NCT Dream members had difficulty finishing it. Moreover, cultural differences in food consumption between South Korea and Western countries should be considered. In South Korea, smaller portions are often preferred, and it's common for people to share a single pizza among a group.

In addition to cultural differences, personal preferences and individual dietary choices should be respected. Each NCT Dream member may have unique preferences or dietary restrictions, and it's crucial to be mindful of those choices.
Fan Reactions and Support
Many NCT Dream fans have come to the group's defense, arguing that the criticism is unwarranted and blown out of proportion. According to the group's supporters, the members should not be instantly judged just because of their eating habits. As the saying goes, "to each their own." While others can finish a whole box of pizza, it should totally be acceptable that some may not even consume a slice.

Also, fans pointed out that the group is expected to have smaller appetites as they are Koreans. They might have not also liked the pizza, given that it is a western food.
The Impact of Social Media
The power of social media in amplifying controversies cannot be ignored. The video clip of NCT Dream eating pizza quickly went viral, leading to increased scrutiny of their eating habits. It's important to consider the role social media plays in creating and perpetuating controversies, and to be cautious about jumping to conclusions based on short video clips.
