Netizens Call Out SBS's "Unprofessionalism" During Stray Kids' "2023 SBS Gayo Daejeon" Performance

Stray Kids was one of the featured performers for the 2023 SBS Gayo Daejeon, which was held on December 25 at the INSPIRE Arena.

Yet, netizens noticed many things gone wrong, starting with the group’s name being misspelled during the broadcast. It read, Stary Kids.

The lighting and camerawork were also heavily criticized. Empty stages were shown, and the camera jumped to seemingly random shots showing nothing of the performance. Lights also went out.

Additionally, the sound was messed up throughout Stray Kids’ stage. NewJeans‘ “New Jeans” was heard as the wrong backtrack was played.

Additionally, netizens are dissatisfied that the performance has not been properly uploaded to YouTube like other groups. Instead, a poor “fancam” angle was uploaded.

So, instead of apologizing for the TERRIBLE audiovisual work they did during their show, they decide to upload the 6 minutes of the performance from the worst possible angle.

Okay, I see.

So, STAYS (Stray Kids fans) are urging SBS to apologize to Stray Kids. The fandom is trending #BoycottSBS along with #protectstraykids and #respectstraykids on X (formerly Twitter).

This is so unprofessional of you SBS and you've done a lot of terrible things towards skz before this, apologize and address this thing now.

the way that every time they tried to sabotage stray kids performances they at least tried to hide it but sbs went all out by playing another group’s song middle performance, spelling their name wrong, filming the audience instead of them with their shaky ass camera work
