ChenLe’s Family Background

NCT Dream fans may already know that Chenle is one of the members who joined NCT at the very end. Unlike the other 5 members of NCT Dream, Chenle and Renjun immediately debuted without being introduced as members of SM Rookies. Coming from a wealthy family, recently, Chenle’s family background has been highlighted by netters on online community sites. The 2001-born singer from Shanghai, China is reportedly the grandson of a conglomerate that is one of the 20 most successful entrepreneurs in China. This doesn’t seem surprising if we see Chenle’s pre-debut photos. The pre-debut photos of the owner of Zhong Chenle’s full name are indeed different from other pre-debut members’ photos where it is very obvious that he is from a wealthy family. One photo shows Chenle posing in front of a Buick, while in another photo, the singer of “My First and Last” poses on the balcony of a beachfront resort. In other photos, he appears to be playing in the courtyard against the background of a large house. “Wow, his class is different. No wonder the pre-debut photos seem wow,” a netter commented. “I had guessed when I saw his pre-debut photos. I was wondering why he wanted to debut as an idol,” said another netter. “He has released 3 solo albums as a child singer. It’s interesting to see how hard it is to live life as an idol,” said another.

The program invites the audience to see the two hosts, Lee Sang-min and Kim Jong-min, traveling abroad. There, they are asked to interact with the local residents and have a mission to be allowed to stay one night at the residents’ house.

Known to be from the Rich Family, This is NCT’s Chenle Home in Shanghai!

Not only he posses a variety of talents, but NCT’s Chenle is also often reported as a child from a wealthy family and we can finally see what his family home in Shanghai, China is like. In the latest episode of KBS’ One Night Sleepover Trip, the cast of the program visited NCT’s Chenle’s home in Shanghai, China. At the beginning of the episode, Lee Sang-min asked Chenle, “I want to ask for help. We will be going to Shanghai next week, and in this program, we cannot sleep in a hotel. Your house is in Shanghai, so can you let us sleep for one night? I will let you sleep in Itaewon for ten nights.” Lee Sang-min also observed, “I’ve heard that your grandfather is very rich,” but Chenle replied, “He only lives comfortably now.” NCT’s Chenle also said that he also owned a house in South Korea, where his parents lived. But in Shanghai, he lives in a luxury apartment with bamboo forests, swimming pools, and the value of the real estate is more than 4 billion won (more than 51 billion rupiahs). Wow, the house is really spacious and very comfortable. He also introduced the show cast to his mother and gave them a tour of their apartment filled with photos of Chenle. Chenle’s mother also showed them videos of Chenle who appeared on China’s Got Talent as a child. When the cast met with Chenle’s other family members, Chenle turned out to have many aunts. They also showed extraordinary affection for Chenle. An aunt said, “Chenle’s mother was initially opposed to the idea of having another child (Chenle was the second child) because of the one-child policy (which is in China). But I told her that if she had another child, I would help her, and I persuaded her. So glad she decided to have Chenle.” Chenle himself is a lot younger than his brother. It’s a 13-year difference in age. Chenle’s mother commented, “Chenle grew up like having ten mothers. Aunts on both sides of our family took care of him as if he was their own son.”
