""Golden Loop"" was the theme of the "2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon," which left some disappointment due to several broadcasting incidents despite its glamorous stages.
On the 25th at Inspire Arena in Yeongjongdo, Incheon, the "2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon" was broadcast live. The evening's MCs were IVE's An Yujin, DAY6's Young K, and NCT's Jaemin, who were in charge of the Christmas night.
This year's gayo daejeon looked back on the shining moments of K-pop in 2025 and was staged as a platform announcing another leap forward. Many artists' performances received praise for their high level of completion, but there were blemishes amid the unpredictable variables unique to live broadcasts.
Throughout the stages, viewers pointed out uneven sound balance and reacted with "the live sound is hard to hear" and "the sound is muddled." It was regrettable that the carefully prepared singers' live performances were not delivered fully.
During NCT DREAM's ending performance, the camera image suddenly tilted, giving the appearance of overturning, and that scene was broadcast as is, startling viewers. Although it is a factor to be considered as an unexpected situation that can be the thrill of a live broadcast, the disappointment was greater because it occurred on the final performance. In particular, there were reactions that "the artists suffered the most" as some parts of the stage NCT DREAM had carefully prepared were not properly conveyed due to the production team's mistake.
Viewers expressed understanding with comments such as "it's a live broadcast, so variables can occur" and "isn't this also the charm of a live broadcast," while also criticizing "they should have prepared more thoroughly" and "it's disappointing that we couldn't properly see the artists' hard-prepared stages."
The "2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon" adorned the Christmas night with abundant stages and dazzling performances. However, voices calling for inspection and supplementation of technical completeness have emerged from this broadcast, and viewers' hopes continue with "we hope such incidents never recur."
