However, it turned out that NCT 127 Taeyong's solo stage at "Neo City: Seoul" was supposed to be a collaboration between him and SHINee Taemin.

He said, "I actually worked on the song 'Moonlight,' hoping to perform it with Taemin. But I'll be doing it by myself for this concert."

Taemin started his mandatory military service on May 31 of last year, so he was unable to perform "Moonlight" with Taeyong. Upon learning about this, many fans took to Twitter to express their shock and desire to see the two take the stage together for a "Moonlight" performance.
