On May 10, NCT WISH’s agency, SM Entertainment, shared the news on their official social media accounts, explaining that the group would not be able to attend the event due to complications with their visas.

SM Entertainment stated, "We submitted all the necessary documents and completed the required procedures, including interviews, to receive visa approval for the concert."

They added, "However, due to an unexpected delay in the approval process, we were unable to obtain the visas."

They went on to say, "At this point, it's difficult to determine the exact cause for the delay. Despite our best efforts, we were not able to get the visa in time, and the group will not be able to perform."

The agency continued, expressing regret, "We feel deeply sorry and heavy-hearted for the fans who were looking forward to NCT WISH’s performance."

They added, "We tried everything until the last moment to secure the visa, but in the end, we could not keep our promise, and we sincerely apologize."

(G)I-DLE’s Miyeon made a surprise appearance as a new part-time worker, and her entrance had actor Yoo Seung Ho completely flustered.

On the May 10 episode of JTBC’s Battle! Paeng Bong Paeng Bong, Paeng Hyun Sook’s restaurant faced another loss against Lee Bong Won’s team — their second loss in a row.

As a result, Paeng’s restaurant was at risk of shrinking even more, while Lee Bong Won’s restaurant celebrated by earning a new signboard and even winning a snowflake shaved ice machine, ingredients included.

Just when things were looking bad for Paeng Hyun Sook’s team, Yoo Seung Ho received a mysterious letter. It read, “Don’t tell anyone and open this alone. Please.”

Inside, the message said, “Paeng Restaurant can now add a dessert menu. A new team member is waiting in the kitchen. Please come to Paeng Restaurant quickly.”

Yoo Seung Ho shared, “I felt really happy when I read that note,” and immediately rushed back to the restaurant. But as soon as he saw the new team member’s back, he froze — then stepped backward, shyly retreating.

When asked why, he smiled and confessed, “I liked it so much. I was shy and happy, so I came back out again.”

The new part-timer was revealed to be none other than Miyeon of (G)I-DLE. She came with a fish-shaped bread machine and looked ready to help rescue the struggling restaurant with a brand-new dessert menu.

However, Yoo Seung Ho couldn’t even talk to her properly. Miyeon, noticing his shy behavior, laughed and asked, “Why are you scared of me?”

Yoo Seung Ho replied honestly, “I was all sweaty, and in the evening my beard gets messy. I was in such a terrible state, so I felt embarrassed. But at the same time, I was really happy that someone came to help. Those two feelings came at once.”

Fans are now loving the adorable chemistry between the two stars and are curious to see if Miyeon can turn things around for Team Paeng!
