NCT's TEN and Dao stepped into the spotlight in a whole new way, serving as MCs for the live broadcast finale of SOLDOUT Season 1 — and they only found out they had the job one hour before going live. The official @NCTsmtown account on X shared the news, teasing the pair's on-air challenge with the caption: "There's a live broadcast in one hour… and I'm the MC?"
An Unexpected Hosting Gig
According to @NCTsmtown, TEN and Dao were thrown into the MC role with almost no warning, making for what the post described as a genuine live broadcasting challenge. The caption leaned into the drama of the moment, framing their last-minute preparation as part of the fun. For fans of both artists, seeing them navigate the pressure of hosting a live show together was clearly meant to be a treat in itself.
TEN, a long-standing member of NCT and WayV, is no stranger to variety-style content, but the spontaneous nature of this assignment added an extra layer of excitement. Dao, one of NCT's newer faces, got to show a different side of himself alongside a more seasoned labelmate.
Wrapping Up SOLDOUT Season 1
The broadcast marked the finale of SOLDOUT Season 1, bringing the show's first run to a close in memorable fashion. Capping the season with a surprise MC duo — announced with barely an hour to spare — was a fittingly energetic way to send things off. The @NCTsmtown post was tagged with #TEN, #NCT, and #WayV, signaling that this moment was a highlight for the broader NCT universe fandom. Whether SOLDOUT returns for a second season remains to be seen, but Season 1 certainly went out with a bang.
