Former SM Entertainment trainee Anderson has gone viral after sharing two shirtless photos that have racked up over 2.1 million views. The Canadian idol nearly debuted with NCT WISH but is now part of the upcoming group Wayfboys.
Anderson placed sixth in the 2023 NCT Lastart survival show and missed debuting with the group now known as NCT WISH, which features innocent and cute concepts. He was recently revealed as a member of Wayfboys, a boy group that has yet to announce an official debut date.
On July 6, 2026, Anderson posted two images of himself shirtless with the caption "Homemade by yours truly #Wayfboys." The post quickly gained traction on social media as fans noted the shift from the cute image he might have had with NCT WISH.
Netizens shared reactions like "Crazy to think Anderson would've been in Wish" and "Wait he's Filipino let's stan," highlighting the contrast in his visuals. Wayfboys continues to attract attention online ahead of their debut.
