NCT WISH's Sion revealed that the person who scouted him for SM also discovered RIIZE's Wonbin.

In the latest episode of 'NOPOGY' on YouTube, NCT WISH members Sion and Yushi appeared as guests on the show hosted by MONSTA X's Shownu and NCT's Jungwoo. During the episode, Sion shared that the employee who recruited him through an Instagram DM was the same person who also reached out to Wonbin using the same method.

The hosts expressed amazement at the impressive talent of the scout who discovered two of SM Entertainment's most talked-about members in recent times, commenting that the person "really has a good eye" for finding visual talents.

Sion also revealed that he initially thought the DM from SM was "a scam" and was hesitant until the company contacted him by phone. Since traveling to Seoul from Mokpo was difficult for Sion, SM employees made the trip to his hometown and arranged a camera test audition at a local dance studio, renting out the entire space just for him.

Netizens had similar reactions, humorously praising the scout’s keen eye, referring to them as having a "true cornea" and "the best eye," and calling the person a "pine tree" for having a consistent, unchanging preference in visual types.
