Chenle has been a Warriors fan for years and has also posted about Steph Curry on his Weibo account, which is a site where idols interact with fans. Chenle, who debuted in 2016, tried to learn English slang so he could embark on his journey to try and get noticed by the two-time NBA MVP. There were supposed to be more videos, considering they only covered step one. The NCT Dream star tweeted in Korean about the video, saying "He wants to meet Stephen Curry ASAP".

Curry's tweet to the NBA came before the league resumed their 2019-20 season after a four-month hiatus. The Warriors, who were at the bottom of the NBA table, were among eight teams not invited to travel to the NBA bubble at Walt Disney World in Orlando. Curry has kept Warriors fans updated on social media, as he has been training at his home and the Warriors facility.

Curry broke his hand in October 2019, which sidelined him for the entire season after having played only four games. Curry, along with Klay Thompson, will return to the court during the 2020-21 season.
