MAMA 2024 AWARDS The 5 Most JAW DROPPING Performances

[@Saml22019]

I love Illit's stage performance, so proud of the girls. Very touched by Yunah's award acceptance speech, could genuinely feel her emotions caused by the toxic controversies they had to endure since debut. Really applaud them for not letting the dirty media play break them, they will continue to become stronger and shine for sure. On a side note, I couldn't believe some fans of another boy group were attacking Jimin for winning the Daesang, seriously these fans don't fully understand how the voting system works & how organised ARMYs are.

I thought I was too old for KPop until I heard news and gossip about GD issues. I thought the guy fought valiantly against his haters and--he did not take himself out like others would do--he fought and I fell in love. His clunky style and his manuarism takes me back to my teens--Boy George, A Flock Of Seagulls, Cindy Lauper and oooh, so many more. I love Gdragon. My husband is a square and does not understand. My kids roll their eyes at me--but, I don't care I just love him😍😍😍

I love the ILLIT, Katseye and TWS performances. I love how Seventeen sent out that message against AI with the robot conductor malfunctioning. Big Bag was Iconic as always.

Thank you Sean for answering my prayers for this video. Amazing insight as usual. I could feel ILLIT's emotional speech even MORE knowing what they have been through ...

The boys are really talented and fun to watch. > Treasure... just WOW. The energy is crazy! The vocals, the choreography though mostly just running around, and a bit of fan service there...man, I wish I was there. So cool, they really are concert kings. >G-Idle. Queens! Their live vocals 🙌 👏

Additional performances I'd like to mention are: Boy Next Door. They killed it with the live performance and the collab band performance between ZB1 X TXT X Enhyphen was solid as well. Despite all the ongoing drama Hybe artists dominated MAMA! All the Illit members seem like lovely people to be with. From your mention of Illit's concept, it can also be described like young girls dressing up like princesses and having a tea party. They embody the fantasy, casual or historic manhwa vibe

[@crazycatdorian]

KATSEYE x LA Rams = 🔥🔥🔥 I really felt it ❤❤❤

[@BlazinNSoul]

There is a reason it was prerecorded here. Bruno already said the venue wasn't adequate. He didn't like the setup & wasnt allowing for rehearsals, camera angles and such. Bruno likes things done a certain way and Mama wasn't being very cooperative. Add to this not allowing for his band to play & bruno always plays with his band. So i don't blame him as this is Mama's fault here.

[@1oldcrow350]

Seventeen have been consistently upping their game. And their choreo with that many members is always amazing. And Illit just proves the best revenge is prospering. Big Bang holds a special place in K Pop and the younger generations know that. They have been through some real crappy times (esp G-Dragon) but still came out on top. I know Taeyang has been stretching his wings lately with his latest releases. And Jimin was just floored with his award. Jungkook always golden.

[@VerucaS9lt]

I honestly don't understand the logic behind all the hate that Hybe gets. Hybe is not perfect by any means, but neither are they nefarious - quite the opposite, they obviously give their artists so much support. And the Hybe artist performances at the MAMA is proof of that. The only reasonable explanation I can see is straight up crab mentality. The higher you rise, the more haters you're gonna get. I mean, just look at the line up of 2024 Billboard Award nominees for Kpop artists - 90% of them are from Hybe. Haters gonna hate, but Hybe gonna accelerate. 🤷‍♀ I mean, just the other day, I saw a report on a girl kpop artist trying to leave her group; she asked permission from the CEO, and his response was "only if you become my girlfriend for a day". And then he proceeded to try to shove his tongue down her throat. There were also allegedly complaints from other female artists about his behavior. WTF, why was THIS guy not called to the National Assembly? Sometimes, I really don't get the logic of kpop stans.

[@ruthfischer7615]

The reasons are quiet a few: In SK it is that BH/HYBE are the unwanted "upstart" - how dare they be more successfull than the founding/Big 3 labels!/s In the US/Canada/Europe it is more second gen fans that hate the "BTS paved the way" and argue with second gen x being first in something. They hate that HYBE artists overshadow their artists. Everything BTS/HYBE artists is doing is suspicious from the get go. They believe their own drama and are not interested in facts. To that come actual blackmarket campaingns wich Sean has talked about in different videos. HYBE BOY I think mentioned one specific case were SM payed for HYBE hate during the HYBE + LSM vs. SM CEOs + Kakao stuff - which is for once actually proven by a company/news outlet that was not hired by HYBE. Idol music is insanly competitive.

[@VerucaS9lt]

@ruthfischer7615 Yeah. It looks like that all basically all boils down to crab mentality. (Gotta take down someone more successful than you out of insecurity and jealousy) I did not know the specifics of it, thank you for sharing that information!

[@ruthfischer7615]

@@ForgetMenot-i6e Aespa is younger and in a visual focused industry that means a lot. Not to mention Red Velvet are older and more independent/going towords the end of their contract which means they may not stay after the end while aespa is more dependent. Red Velvet is more niche in terms of music than aespa, too. Aespa actually has sales that point more like BP than Red Velvet. The problem was that "fans" hated on Seunghan - the amount of funeral "wreaths" was breathtakingly sad - it looked like the head of state had died or something and they were promising to send a lot more again and again. (I blame MHJ for the "invention" of funeral wreaths in that context of living Idols) Did I see it wrong or is he now starting a career as a solo artist?

[@baramatouskova3419]

Treasure had the best performance 1.day, they literally made it their own concert. I think they was the only one singing live whole time without any backtrack. The fanchant during breakdance was insane, just prove how many Teumes was there. And they didn't just stay in the main stage but perform in many places and visited audience. It must been insane experience live.

[@TheMacdod]

Did you see Yuna and illit accept their award? Maybe not a big big moment but.. man.. a lot of us cried our eyes out with them. There was something very cathartic about it.

[@hymajaya8347]

I think the biggest loss this mama 2024 award ceremony is LE SSERAFIM NOT PERFORMING.... What a loss. We are robbed of one of the best performers ever in kpop. Also my favourite moments include boynextdoor and TXT performances although TXT performance was not upto that level they did in previous years. They set their standard too high in previous years award performances. Still it was so beautiful and serene and verymuch TXT. BND was just full on fire...no wonder they got the favourite dance performance award

[@rinag598]

BTS Army here. February 2020 was when I became familiar with BTS -for several years it was Only BTS. And then it dawned on me -BTS was collaborating with people I never heard of-they were talking about music from people I never heard of-and they were friends with so many other members of other groups. So I ventured out !! And I love the view out here !! I’ve looked at the history of K-pop and really dug into several groups-and what I discovered- There’s a whole lot of talent out there ! There are so many members who have worked super hard to get to where they are at. My favorite performances were Seventeen and BigBang. I sent one of my granddaughters BigBand’s performance, and my comment to her ? “ now that’s what I call a concert performance !!!” The love those three boys have for each other and the hard work they’ve put in, not just talent wise, but emotionally - Well, let’s just say I wish I would’ve discovered them sooner !!

And somehow the group received a lot of love from the Korean GP after being dragged through the mud. Really inspirational. Fr.

Also, aespa's boost in rankings on apps like melon are due to bots who intentionally worked to ensure that LSF did not chart higher while they were the highest charters globally and on iTunes Korea. Melon is a kakao platform so no wonder aespa was able to buy charting positions and eventually tricled down to purchasing awards.

14:40 No, actually, Seventeen debuted before NCT, and had been promoting under that name years and years even prior to that. Originally (way before debut), they had planned to have 17 members, but the perfect combination of members just never got to that number, so they ended up making sense of the name a different way. Yes, they do have official "units" (Hiphop, Vocal, Performance), but that's all combined to make 1 team and they do the majority of everything, including title tracks, etc., as 1 team of 13 members all together, unlike NCT, which effectively operates as more like several separate smaller groups, under 1 larger "team" umbrella.

I have not heard the others yet. Love Seventeen and need to watch their stage too. I was not sure they performed. I am aware they won awards. So happy for Jk and Jimin. Army worked so hard. Twt has been glitching so much and many ppl are just confused about how to vote and what to do. HYBE knows how to prep well. Since HYBE is created from Big Hit and they learned with BTS how to have ppl notice you. Borahae. -2019 ARMY NY USA 💜

Hihi I can always trust Sean / Seoulite for a little sassy shade 13:20. I am like many other ARMYs who proclaim that we are a BTS fan, not Kpop fan, and so we are not easily interested in other Kpop bands. Having said that, the exposure I have of other bands are through / due to BTS. I know Big Bang is huge and helped pave the way in many ways for K-artists like BTS but was only interested to know a bit more when Taeyang collaborated with Jimin and was on Suchwita; Seventeen because Mingyu is in the 97-line, good friends with Jungkook and Hoshi and Woozi were on Suchwita; TXT as the junior to BTS with Yeonjun and Taehyun (who were also on Suchwita) being part of Bighit wayyyy back; and Enhypen through BTS appearance in I-Land. YET apart from Illit's touching acceptance speech, the only other thing from this MAMA that left an unfortunately negative impression on me was Enhypen's fans going on and on about their band deserving / robbed of the Daesang award that went to Jimin. From what I have read, the rules are tricky and there's some confusion and also perhaps lack of transparency in the fan voting system between the Bonsang and Daesang awards. But when they say Enhypen was robbed of / more deserving of the Daesang, that automatically means Jimin is less deserving, which I found to be really disrespectful towards him and BTS of which band that even Enhypen members look up to. They obviously also underestimate how organised ARMYs are. UGH. And yeah, I am also not sure the hate towards HYBE, they are not perfect for sure and Bang PD trusting that certain someone was a clear mistake, but it's also credit to his vision and leadership / mentoring style that plays a major factor to leading BTS becoming the mammoth act that they now are (BTS members themselves being the main major factors of course).

KATSEYE'S PERFORMANCE BLEW ME AWAY BY THEIR PERFORMANCE DESPITE THAT SMALLER STAGE. WHAT MORE IF THEY HAD A CHANCE TO PERFORM IT IN MAIN STAGE IN MAMA JAPAN. THEY WILL ATE THEM ALL AND DOMINATE IT🔥👌

[@rinag598]

Enhypen was the best Performance they are really talented I’m going to watch Illit now, I somehow missed their performance

[@crgirrard4210]

The trying to bring together hollywood and kpop was a bit weird, awkward and the US audience seemed to lack energy and excitement. Japan was way better and boy when GD and Bigbang showed up brought back what MAMA used to be about it was electric. Seventeen, Enhyphen and other performances in Japan were top notch and probably a lot of them actually singing live.

[@nanad267]

We need to remember that a lot of people in United States aren’t truly familiar with K-pop- Many of them only like “ their one group” and the lack of their enthusiasm for other groups really shows.

[@wongpauline22]

Sassy Seoulite is always a treat 🤭💜 love the mama reaction!

[@EnjoyingLife2024]

Thank you the review. I think all the groups highlighted did well. Kpop is defin6a growing industry with American youth. I will be happy when there is an awards program that recognizes former K-pop artists when they age out of Kpop, but still produce and release great music. Kpop attists seem to be discarded once they enter the 30 years old and above age bracket. But this age is when they can really begin to write and sing music with great emotion and heart. Will there ever be a MAMA30+ version for older artists to be recognized?

Tomorrow x Together, Enhypen

[@CutiePie-hh3gg]

Fifty Fifty was brilliant

[@mariamghani9421]

HYBE ARTISTS SUPREMACY, they won big and deservingly so. Illit won and this has to be my highlight. 💕 also lmao, so the company that actually won in all of hybes controversy is sm, lol. Im starting to believe mhj was an sm rat planted into hybe cause this couldnt have come at a more right time for them considering aespas sudden fame lol. aespa's so mid and this is not even being disrespectful. they just simply lack what it takes to PERFORM ON A BIG STAGE, vocals aside, they lack the simple it factor it takes to command a stage. they lack that basic star power so them winning best dance performance or even choreography award made ZERO SENSE when there were other groups that absolutely ate this year. even if we talk in comparison, boynextdoor, who won in the male category proved on the very mama stage why they deserved their award. people love to hate on hybe groups but its them who bring their A game when it comes to dazzling the stage or choreos or mvs. literally all of them, illit, txt, enhypen, boynextdoor, tws, svt, katseye absolutely owned each of their stages and everybody deserved the category they won. the fact that none of them went empty handed speaks volumes and is a big slap to those who tried to sabotage them through false media play and manipulation. song of the year shouldve been magnetic and best dance performance + choreo shouldve been lsf. lesserafim imo were robbed big time. aespa deserved the best female group considering the big year theyve had tho. on the other hand, so happy for gidle, bigbang, gdragon, svt and rose! kiss of life deserves better. they have it all.

I really didn't like Bruno Mars with Rose but, then I have to admit that at the moment I heard the song from them another old song popped up in my mind that I had forgotten. The song from Gwen Stephanie called Halloback.

[@kendriaadams5308]

I likes Rose with Bruno. Loved GD and Big Bang was a gift from the KPop Gods. Katseye was really good too. First time I saw them

[@kendriaadams5308]

Right!! Espa (sp) aren’t they new? Performance I regret to say was not good. But they are new. They will get better

[@DA-sf3vs]

Yeah I didn’t like it either. It does sound like Hollabackgirl and also there is another song Pink, U + Ur Hand as well. Also it seem messed up they didn’t play live. Bruno thinks he is too good to perform at such show. I always find them both Bruno with Rose so awkward

[@Rose-oo9gn]

Aespa is not new but they’re known for not being the best dancers. Their stage presence often gets criticized as well. They are best known for their volcals namely winter and ningning. Esp ning

[@elizabethbesco4758]

Bruno also carries the song.

I miss TOP

[@rosebooysen1693]

Mama awards should change their name to attendance awards cause they give awards based on attendance 😭🔥

[@Alexa-cr1vy]

KATSEYE for the win ✨🙂‍↕️

[@testruelove2530]

Me when I hear it's comeback performance..like where did you go? Did you even left?

[@mero2627]

I’m surprised you are insulting AESPA so much when they are ones performing even with GISELLE having allergic reaction. That’s why she is wearing sunglasses.

[@winkpinky1445]

I watch it every year. The last few years it was like a for real BTS concert. I’m so excited that even though our guys are serving in the military Jungkook and Jimin won!!! Yeah!! Watch out 2025-2026 bc they’ll be back!!! 💜😉

[@jedidar]

I was at the LA Mama in Hollywood

[@Sugas_Girr]

Cool! Hope you had a good time! 😉

[@mmi3029]

One take away from MAMA, it looks like Hybe and CJ E&M have reconciled.
