It's come to our attention that Haechan of the K-pop group @NCTsmtown is considered by many of his fans to resemble an adorable pudu. So we want to give fans the opportunity to officially name the newborn fawn after the singer! https://t.co/s00mYUwdvb pic.twitter.com/zRvo8UMHsa

Pudu also happens to be one of Haechan's nicknames, given to him by fans who find he resembles the deer with his wide eyes and tongue slightly poking out when he eats. Fans began sharing the news along with mentions of Haechan, which the zoo caught on to.
Seeing such high interest from NCTzens [official fan club name], the LA Zoo opened up a fundraiser campaign and explained that people have the opportunity to name animals born at the zoo if they donate to help conservation efforts. They stated that if fans were able to donate $2,000 in five days, they would name the deer after Haechan.
