The transition from fangirl to co-performer is crazy.
NCT’S Sign and rappers Lee Youngji are sending fans into a frenzy with leaked previews of their collaborative phase at 2024 MBC Gayo Daejejeon Wannabe.
The event was originally scheduled to air live on December 31, KST. But following the Jeju plane crash tragedy, the network canceled the broadcast, opting to record and broadcast the event at a later time.
After filming the song festival, some clips from the event have surfaced online, courtesy of those who attended in person. These clips included Mark and Youngji’s joint stage, performing “Small Girl”. The song, originally by Youngji e EXO’S DObecame a fan favorite largely due to the live performances of the two original artists and their real-time chemistry.

While Mark had a huge role to fill with this performance, he never lived up to it. From his onstage chemistry with Youngji to his rap verses, everything exceeded all performance expectations.

They said he didn’t appear during Small Girl, but only in the broadcast recording. It’s actually Mark with a 6 on the dice.
