Fresh off completing his Navy service on Dec. 14, NCT’s TAEYONG isn’t wasting a second: the 2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon will be his first official stage with fans post-discharge, and he’s gearing up a performance built to make the wait worth it.
The broadcast will also unwrap Christmas gift-style collaborations. TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s YEONJUN will team with KATSEYE’s Yoonchae for the first-ever performance of "Let Me Tell You" (feat. Yoonchae of KATSEYE), debuting exclusively at the 2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon.
On the original track, KATSEYE’s Daniela contributes the feature, and her paired choreography with YEONJUN sparked a global fan frenzy upon release. “I loved YEONJUN and Daniela’s chemistry on the original, so getting the chance to build this stage with YEONJUN at the Gayo Daejeon is such an honor,” Yoonchae says. “I’ll do my best to bring that same energy Daniela delivered.”
For the 2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon, BOYNEXTDOOR all-rounder WOONHAK and ILLIT’s versatile standout WONHEE are linking up as the playful “Snowmen” unit. Known for their cute, snowman-like visuals and scene-stealing charm, the duo promises a surprise turn with serious stage-commanding power.
A rappers’ special stage is also set to turn heads: THE BOYZ’s SUNWOO, TREASURE’s HARUTO, and ALLDAY PROJECT’s WOOCHAN will premiere an unreleased, self-produced Christmas track during the show.
SUNWOO―THE BOYZ’s main rapper and an alum of "High School Rapper"―joins HARUTO, famed for his resonant low tone, and WOOCHAN, once the youngest contestant on "Show Me the Money 6." The trio will tap into full-on holiday “boyfriend vibe” energy for a festive surprise performance.
Beyond that, expect a flurry of cross-genre collaborations to keep the night packed with can’t-miss moments.
The 2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon airs live Thursday, Dec. 25, at 4:50 p.m. KST.
