SMTOWN LIVE 2025–2026 in Bangkok turned into more than just a concert night on 14 February.

Meanwhile, NCTzens were thrilled to see members letting loose off-script. Many commented that JOHNNY and YUTA’s expressions made the moment even funnier, while TEN and YANGYANG’s natural groove elevated the challenge.
A few netizens joked that SM Entertainment might need to officially collaborate with Polcasan next time, given how well the clip performed online.
There were also discussions about how events like this show the growing synergy between Thai and Korean entertainment industries.
Rather than feeling staged, the interaction came across as organic, which is exactly why fans connected with it so strongly.
