Japanese fans are upset with Yuta's treatment during NCT 127's Japan dome tour

NCT 127 have kick started their Japan dome tour "NEO CITY: JAPAN THE LINK!" 

The group started the dome tour from Vantelin Dome Nagoya on May 22, and has recently concluded the 2-day Tokyo Dome show on May 28 and 29, attracting over 100,000 fans. The last part of the dome tour will be held in Osaka at the end of June, so in the meantime, the members of the boy group has returned to their home country, while Yuta remained in Japan, enjoying his time in his hometown.


Meanwhile, the Tokyo Dome performance on May 28 was also broadcast live exclusively on WOWOW for domestic Japan viewers, and on Beyond LIVE for overseas fans. Fans noticed one thing off just right at the ending of the concert where the members were riding gondolas and waving goodbyes to their fans. During this segment, each member had a close up shot, however, it ended without the Japanese member, Yuta being shown at all throughout the entire segment.


Fans who noticed this scene could not hide their surprise, leaving comments such as, "How could they do something like this in his home country Japan?" "I have turned a blind eye to his treatment in Korea but how could they also do this in Japan," "SM is trying to look for a sign from the response of this scene, right?" "Did they do it on purpose again?" "It's funny that they are going to make NCT Tokyo with this treatment (of Yuta)."

What do you think of this situation?

Hmmm honestly it needs more info/investigation. Finding out who was in charge of the shooting/editing of the concert, as there was a domestic and overseas stream. For example usually any SM productions in Japan are overseen by AREX. Anyone in their right minds promotional wise would focus on the native of the country they are in, and Japan and Japanese have high national pride like Korea and China, so if it was a Japanese based production hmmm... so neither production party being involved in the shooting/editing makes sense to skip out on this member... hmmm
