K-pop boy band NCT 127 concluded its Seoul leg of the NEO CITY – THE REDLINE tour on Sunday at the KSPO Dome, with a performance that highlighted the absence of certain members. Midway through the song Ay-Yo, screens displayed the two absent members, Doyoung and Jungwoo, who were currently serving in the military. The remaining three members performed the verses, while the five present held the stage.
This approach became the show's strategy, as it kept the five-member lineup, including Taeyong, Johnny, Yuta, Jaehyun, and Haechan, in front of the captivated audience of around 31,500 fans. The three-night tour marked the first headlining show in Korea for the group in a year and eight months, and also signified their return to a full five-member lineup after two members left the group.
