NCT Taeil Delivers Surprise Performance in Crutches, NCTzens in Tears with Idol's Appearance
On November 26, X (Twitter) users raved about NCT 127's third tour "NEO CITY - THE UNITY," which took place in Seoul.
NCT 127's concerts and future schedules have also become big topics in the online community due to Taeil's absence. For additional context, the idol has focused on recovering from his motorcycle injuries, thus, going on an indefinite hiatus and affecting his activities with the group.
