One of the surprise collaborations was between NCT’s Jaehyun and Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon, idols who are known for their talent and strong visuals.

The two paired up to perform “Starlight,” a song from Taeyeon’s 2016 release, Why. The track originally featured the artist DEAN, whose parts were filled in by Jaehyun first during a 2019 performance.
The performance was amazing musically, with both artists impressing the audience on both days of the concerts.

However, many were left in awe of the pair’s visual chemistry on stage as they performed! Some fans compared them to a scene from a dramatic K-Drama.

Netizens were also left in awe by the two idols, commenting on their visual chemistry in a forum post.
I’m fainting This is it. This is it. They have great chemistry together, it is really nice. Their chemistry is really good. It’s so nice, but I am a little jealous.
We love collaborations like this!
