The anticipated 2023 SBS Gayo Daejeon was held on December 25 at the INSPIRE Arena. Yet, it’s garnered attention for the wrong reasons. While the lineup of artists was phenomenal, there were many technical issues that fans have called out for being “unprofessional.”
Here are 5+ things gone wrong at 2023 SBS Gayo Daejeon…
1. NCT Ten’s accident
Right before his solo, Ten fell in a lift while headed to center stage during NCT U’s performance of “Baggy Jeans.”
i just found out ten fell under the stage a few seconds before performing baggy jeans ㅠㅠ
i hope he’s okaypic.twitter.com/a5vINmmLjJ

2. Artists’ names misspelled
Stray Kids was misspelled as “Stary Kids,” and (G)I-DLE was misspelled as “(G)-IDOL” during the broadcast.

3. Stray Kids’ performance
There were issues with the lighting, camerawork, and audio. NewJeans could be heard instead of the proper backtrack.
This is so unprofessional of you SBS and you’ve done a lot of terrible things towards skz before this, apologize and address this thing now.

Additionally, SBS failed to upload Stray Kids’ performance, only to upload a version with a poor angle later.

4. THE BOYZ Juyeon’s performance cut
Juyeon prepared an exceptional acrobatic performance, but the cameras accidentally cut this portion out by capturing the audience instead.

6. Lighting and camerawork
It was not just THE BOYZ and Stray Kids whose performances were “sabotaged” by poor camerawork and lighting. There were issues during NCT’s and fromis_9‘s as well.

7. Ticket issues
There were issues with fraudulent ticket sales on the day of the event.
