NCT’s Doyoung Played It So Smooth His Mistake Almost Went Unnoticed
On December 25, a huge lineup of K-pop artists gathered together for SBS’s Gayo Daejeon.
In particular, NCT’s Doyoung was seen all throughout the night as he performed a solo and group stage and was also the MC for the show.
For his solo stage, he sang his solo title track, “Little Light,” and revealed a beautiful light show as fans turned on their flashlights in the back.

However, because the stage was so well put together, fans almost didn’t catch his little mistake! Turns out, he had forgotten the lyrics to one part of the song, but because he went on flawlessly, no one caught it at first.

“Original lyrics: If someone will find me even if this is who I am
Lyrics from Gayo Daejeon: If someone would find me and accept me
Doyoung has proved he is singing live.”
Most netizens admitted they had no idea he sang the wrong lyrics!

Doyoung even admitted his mistake to fans on his Bubble.
Anyway, I really worked hard today. I’m a bit disappointed with ‘Little Light.’ I’m so sad, can’t believe I ended up changing the lyrics, lol.

Regardless, he sounded amazing!
