Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray is addressing the rumours about her “relative” being selected as an upcoming member of NCT – and the surprising plot twist has got fans cackling nonstop!
The Filipino-Australian beauty queen recently sent social media into a frenzy mode after she took to her official Twitter page to personally clear the air on the circulating claims about her cousin making his K-pop debut as a member of the SM Entertainment boy group.
For those wondering, the “rumour” started after several NCTzens spilled the beans on the members of NCT’s new sub-unit (which were taken from an anonymous source from Facebook). According to these fans, an SM Entertainment trainee named Theo Gray is rumoured be one of the members of the upcoming group.
The “insiders” also provided some information about the aforementioned trainee. In this case, they revealed that Theo is a Filipino-Australian, was born in 2002 (which means that he’s 19 this year), and joined the entertainment agency last year. It was also mentioned in the post that Theo is also “related” to the 27-year-old starlet.
The post immediately caught the attention of many K-pop fans, with many of them milking the online buzz surrounding the situation. Others have also taken to social media to share their reactions to the recent revelation. While some were dubious about the news, others have already expressed their excitement – ’til Miss Catriona herself took the matter into her own hands.
In response to the claims surrounding the new “NCT member”, the beauty queen shared a video of her dog on her Twitter. She accompanied the post with a humorous caption that reads, “Theo Gray finding out he’s NCT’s newest maknae (youngest member).”
She then clarified in another tweet, “I don’t have a cousin by the name Theo Gray. I actually don’t have any FilAus cousins at all. The only Theo related to me – is my dog,” much to the amusement of many netizens!
