NCT Johnny Says Met Gala Experience Was Nerve-Wracking
Following his appearance, the 27-year-old Cherry Bomb singer sat for an interview with Teen Vogue on Wednesday and said that he had never experienced similar emotions on a red carpet before.
"This was the first time that I was really nervous because I didn't know what was going to happen in there. I heard that my team couldn't come inside, so that got me really worried,” he said. "And there were a lot of people I've never met before that I really have wanted to meet," the singer added. "It was just so many new things at once."

Johnny expressed his gratitude toward those people who helped him during the event. Everyone was also sweet and open to having a conversation with anybody.
He took his time to recall how great Eva Chen was. He was able to interact with her since Peter Do also dressed her for the Met Gala.
