In a previous interview, Johnny opened about the experience of attending the Met Gala for the first time. “I have been on many red carpets. I think this was the first time that I was really nervous because I didn’t know what was going to happen in there,” he explained.
“I heard that my team couldn’t come inside, so that got me really worried. There were a lot of people I’ve never met before that I really have wanted to meet,” Suh added. “It was just so many new things at once. That’s what made it kind of nerve-racking.”
In other news, NCT’s Taeyong has released ‘Love Theory’, his new solo single featuring rapper Wonstein. ‘Love Theory’ is the latest instalment of SM Entertainment’s ‘SM Station’ digital music project, where its artists release singles and music collaborations outside.
