The members of NCT 127 are on tour in the United States, after 4 years without visiting the American country. However, his arrival was not entirely happy, as Jungwoo was greeted with a racist joke.
Despite the idols’ busy schedule, with their appearances on shows like The Jennifer Hudson Show and Good Morning America and tour concerts, the members have managed to get out and explore the city.

A person managed to record part of the show, however, the published videos were cut. In one of the videos, you can hear the comedian referring to the idol as “the Asian boy” before cutting himself off. In another video, the NCT 127 member is asked where he is from, to which he replies that he is from South Korea.
The netizen confessed that the videos were cut off because feeling awkward filming after hearing something the comedian said, even though Jungwoo said he was from South Korea, the man said, “Make some noise for North Korea“.
