Recently, NCT’s Taeyong appeared as a guest on the YouTube series Jeongwaja with host EXO’s Kai.
In this episode, the two visited Sungkyunkwan University to learn hands-on about the semiconductor major department.
While listening to the lecture, fans found it hilarious to see the two of them slowly drift away after failing to understand the class.
