Ever since his debut, NCT's Chenle has had a flood of pre-debut content since the idol was active as a solo singer in China before his NCT days. 

When netizens came across some of Chenle's pre-debut photos, they began speculating that Chenle was "born with a silver spoon in his mouth" or "golden spoon" as they say in Korea.

Some stated, "He's a 'golden spoon,' and he's handsome... he has it all", "His nickname isn't President Chen for nothing", "The point isn't that he was well off since he was young. The point is that his pre-debut pictures are super funny kekeke", "Whatever Chenle does is so funny... he's a gag character", and more. 

While some rumors claim that Chenle's grandfather is a top business owner in China, others refute this, saying his wealth came from his child singer days. Check out Chenle playing golf with a German Shepherd, lounging on an outdoor veranda, practicing shooting, and more below!
