Every night, Jaehyun and Johnny, two members of the K-pop boy band NCT, host a radio show called NCT Night Night on Korean radio station SBS Power FM.
The two concluded their show on Monday with the song "Caroline" by American rapper Aminé.
The show's video livestream continued for some time after the two signed off, and Jaehyun can be seen singing along and mouthing a line which includes the n-word. It is unclear whether he actually said the word aloud, as both the DJs' microphones had been turned off.
he said westside nigga....with his chest too 😭
Fans watching the livestream couldn't believe what they had witnessed.
