in all honesty programs will show whats interesting and people who make interesting comments etc for better ratings and for a more interesting episode. dont get me wrong i'm an NCT fan and i understand the frustration of their little screen time but compared to their SM seniors their variety skills are lacking when you're in the presence of Key and Baekhyun, and a kpop veteran like BOA. the editors probably just thought it was more interesting to put more screen time of the mc and other guests than NCT. it sucks yes but thats their job. to edit the episode to be an interesting one. it is a variety show afterall. the editors can't just keep the camera on NCT if they dont do anything worth the screen time in such a short program

Although, it is unfortunate that the boys did not get much screen time, I think it was to be expected considering that the others were experienced, witty variety idols. However, I do think the whole MCs being confused at NCTs concept was unnecessary and frustrating. I think if the MCs want to find out about the guest's general info, they should be briefed on this or do research before the recording since variety shows are to display the idols personality and talents (which they did well with NCT Lucas' episode). Honestly, I find it quite painful, watching them go to the trouble of explaining, only to be shut down every time (the same thing happened at weekly idol). Not only is the concept not one they made, it is also a constantly changing one and often SM even breaks their original rules, eg by adding members to NCT 127 which is supposedly a fixed group. As for screen time, I just hope the boys get another chance to shine.
