While SM Entertainment did not provide the reason, eagle-eyed netizens were able to spot the potential cause of the problem. At around 3:47 of NCT 127’s video of themselves reacting to NCT Dream’s “RIDIN” music video, what appears to be a cockroach can be seen crawling on the floor by Yuta’s feet.
SM Entertainment has not provided an updated statement.
