The Baddest Beagle Bella
Sharing a name with the main character of Twilight, Bella is Xiaojun’s daughter and one of three pets in WayV. He revealed her to the public last year in May on social media. Since then, the beagle has become a beacon of light for WayV and fans alike. The good and bad are just too cute!

- Bella Gets Yelled At in Three Languages – Lucas, Xiaojun, and Hendery caught Bella on their dining table and captured the moment in a short clip — her expression looking as though she was a deer caught in headlights.

Our Dearest Daegal
Introduced to the public in December of 2020, Daegal is Chenle’s daughter. The bichon’s name can be translated to “big head,” which is a trait Chenle is also known for.
- Daegal’s First Live – Last year, Chenle went live with Weibo in late December to show NCTzens his new pup! In the live broadcast, Chenle and Daegal can be seen cuddling and spending quality time together— a dreamy father-daughter duo.
- Chenle’s Grooming Services, Daegal’s Choppy Haircut – Fans went into a frenzy upon seeing Daegal’s choppy haircut earlier this year. Although her hair was full of clumps and bald spots, she still looked cute! Chenle publicly apologized for the mishap on Weibo. He later shared that he cut her hair after being unable to make an appointment.
- Daegal’s NCT Video Debut – Daegal debuted on NCT’s official YouTube page on January 21 with her own music video for “Chewing Gum.” The video takes clips of Daegal running around the SM Entertainment dance practice room and playing.
- Daegal’s Convoluted Relationship Tree – Chenle’s daughter, Haechan’s girlfriend, Jisung’s mom, and Mark’s sister, Daegal has quite an interesting family tree. According to Haechan earlier this year, the pair will be getting married. Hopefully she gets Chenle’s blessing!
- Deagal’s Waggy Tail – In a short video, Daegal can be seen laying down on the floor. Chenle zoomed in on her fluffy tail, which she wagged very fast. It is nice to see the princess is happy!
- Chenle Shames Daegal For Peeing on the Floor – Chenle took to Weibo to expose Daegal for peeing on the floor. Her cuteness makes it hard for anyone to be angry— even Chenle!
- Daegal’s “Kick It” Cover – With the help of her boyfriend, Haechan, Daegal danced to NCT 127’s hit song “Kick It.” Glad to see Daegal showing fans some new thangs. You’ve probably never seen a dog dance to “Kick It.”
