Mysophobia is a serious fear of contamination and germs. Though he claims it is not serious, he does tend to act a little OCD.

I bet only a handful of fans knew that about Taeyong! But this is just all the more reason we have to shower the great leader of NCT 127 with love! Keep looking up for more of Taeyong’s latest updates!
