2025-12-28 22:39:28 +0000 UTCThe line-up with GD, Jennie, EXO, ZICO, Jay Park!! Crazy performers!! The 2nd/3rd gen idols are just on another level but fully enjoyed all of the stages! The quality and scale of the performances were so cool! Fav moment would have to be 'Crooked' with GD going over to the other artists and everyone was just having fun! Loved it! Excited for BB next year!! And also BTS, EXO and BP!! What a year 2026 will be!!

2025-12-27 10:28:01 +0000 UTCExo were def live, they replaced the audio with MR which was a bit annoying! Their lives vocals always sound better than the MR version though tbh I’ve rewatched their performance so many times now and can’t get over everyone’s vocals, they really are the pros. I always knew Suho had amazing vocals but he really blew me away covering Chen’s high notes!!

2025-12-25 01:48:21 +0000 UTCEvery time I watch Zico’s live stages, I’m honestly shocked all over again. It always reminds me why I’m such a big fan of his. Massive respect to him, no one does it as clean, clear, and flawless as he does live. (I would like to thank him for performing the one and only NO YOU CAN'T , what a statement and what a song, cause yesssss THEY CANT DO it like he DOES it ) Watching his performances, I completely understand why BOYNEXTDOOR became the group they are today, and why they’ve been proud to use hand mics since debut. They’re this good because they have an incredibly hardworking and talented role model as their producer. They learned from him and executed everything perfectly. I’m so proud of both BOYNEXTDOOR and Zico, as artists and as a producer, because they’re finally getting the results of years of hard work and true dedication to real art and live performance. A lot of groups have great studio music, but very few can actually do it justice on stage. I really hope other groups take notes and focus on delivering real live performances for their fans, not just choreography and MR, because that’s not what we came for. + shout out to MMA what an amazing lineup and crazy stages I did enjoy almost every stage, and most of them did great, BEST Award show so far. + I forget to talk about EXO, Damn after years of seeing just their solo works they reminded me why they are EXO, even though unfortunately just 5 of them , they carried so hard that stage, they showed how PROs do it !!!! + for Jennie's stage, it was great from production , direction , choreo , visuals , dancers, music, mixing and Jennie herself. This is the best I've ever seen from her. it was perfectly crafted for her and to suit her.

2025-12-24 22:00:35 +0000 UTCFor EXO's performance originally the audio for Monster got messed up so they re-uploaded the video and that's why it doesn't sound as live as for The Eve they definitely sounded live even if the backing track was super loud like it always is for SM groups

2025-12-24 17:29:24 +0000 UTCFun fact Diplo did the mix for Like Jennie! He was teasing releasing it on streaming the other day so it might come out soon

2025-12-24 17:29:01 +0000 UTCAlso just wanted to add that mma messed up the audio during exos stage and that's why they have uploaded their stage like a day after

2025-12-24 17:23:25 +0000 UTCZico really nailed this stage. I mean, 8 mins of full straight rap shit? That sure is something! There is a reason he is currently one of the top rappers in kpop, moreover one of the best in the whole k-hiphop industry I gotta say!!

2025-12-24 16:53:52 +0000 UTCI cant think of this as an exo full group comeback, not since being exol since their debut. Like you said, they just dont sound the same without CBX 😭. They were still incredible of course, but not as a full exo group. Im obsessed with RIIZE Fame! Its my song of the year for how much I love it and how surprised I am by it being RIIZE since I havent gotten into any of their other music but now I have because of Fame! I freaking love Jenni so much! I hate seeing all the hate she gets for lazy dancing and singing live, but again like you said thats her aura! Like not everyone has to be the best dancer or singer on stage to have that star power and stage presence of literally just standing there breathing. Riize is my fav then jenni and G dragon!

2025-12-24 16:49:00 +0000 UTCMaybe it’s just me, but I thought EXO was live. Or I’m just bad at telling if it’s live unless it’s super obvious, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s all live because it’s EXO and tho I’m no EXO fan, I know they’re capabilities. EXO are vocal kings!

2025-12-24 14:39:51 +0000 UTCOkay. I kinda calm down myself. About exo. I would not say a word against this comeback if they return like subunit like whatever snsd oh gg was. But sm marketing this as GRAND GROUPY GROUP COMEBACK.. classic sm. Bittersweet. Still delulu myself about happy ending))) And it was still a very good performance! like we are talking about exo members ofc they deliver

2025-12-24 14:04:00 +0000 UTCIve been an exo fan since 2017 and its like ive never seen exo as a full group aka ot9 performing or having a comeback. It was something happening always and honestly by this comeback concept u can tell it was planned to have all 9 of them on it but bc of the whole lawsuit cbx arent there. And ofc its bittersweet but in a way its also unfair to the other members who r doing their best and idk how they even feel literally how all of them feel in this situation, i mean its not easy, but Im truly grateful for the members who r there keeping up exos name and doing an amazing job. I get where ur perspective is coming from but i guess when u see them throughout the years having 5 ppl 6 ppl or 7 or 8 on these comebacks i dont see it as them having some seperate vibes or different one. Also the new song sounds like such an exo song bc this comeback was/is meant to feel grand due to their storyline and the lore and them going back to their roots to songs like MAMA. i guess im trying to see this whole thing in more positive way by this point, especially after seeing their mma stage cuz they killed it. the vibes the aura like as u said these r professionals on stage and these guys love their group more than we r, cuz we know how they make it their priority afer all they went through throughout the years and still choosing to be there for eo and fight for their name. its not the last comeback of theirs likee, im pretty sure and have the hopes that by the next comeback we can finally have our ot9 fully. Regardless of anything we have what we have now but Im grateful and proud of all of them so i guess mma stage just made me fully excited for the comeback and so curious how the title track gonna sound if this b side is already so epic.
