boynextdoor is so good but wth is that camera work, the production is taking away so much of the whole performance

2025-12-23 15:09:12 +0000 UTCfelt so sad for Super Junior, they did them dirty . It should have been a stage to honor them but it lacked al the impact due ti the sound system being literal shit,

2025-12-13 21:59:48 +0000 UTCSorry, but i-dle is everything except a rookie and a 5th gen girl group. They are active since 6 years which is more than most 4th gen groups.

2025-12-13 18:58:21 +0000 UTCMAMA did BOYNEXTDOOR so dirty with the horrible camera work. Literally almost every other shot was a zoom out/audience shot and they messed the up the boxing scene. I watched a fancam of the performance and I realized how much MAMA stole from that stage. The dance break was so good but they comepletely zoom out?

2025-12-13 10:55:27 +0000 UTCin case no one else has said it yet, i really appreciate the time stamps PD! i bet it takes a little bit but it’s so helpful and i hope you’ll consider doing it for the rest of the award show reactions! <3

2025-12-13 05:05:43 +0000 UTCI will get to that in the Golden performance for which Ahyeon is being hated as well… This year… MAMA fucked up sound-wise a lot. Super Junior’s stage is the example…

2025-12-13 01:21:36 +0000 UTCThis is an absolutely insane reveal because not only could I not tell but I thought she was the BESTTTT.
Jet
2025-12-13 01:21:06 +0000 UTCThe stage was great but idk if the team has as much synergy anymore. I've seen them live twice and both times I thought they were best of the show (sm town 2010 and kcon 2018). And while show and stage wise it was great, idk personally think some of the members are not longer doing it for me.
Jet
2025-12-13 01:20:35 +0000 UTCklaxon made me lose a lot of steam and I think YUQI's solo direction is not going in the direction I was hoping. I really personally just prefer/like MINNIE's overall I think.
Jet
2025-12-13 01:17:25 +0000 UTCI hope you can see ENHYPEN's dance practice. The camera angles showed the choreo better imo! https://youtu.be/SQWc-sCMoVA?si=1znZD7mB6VsYgVga

2025-12-13 00:15:41 +0000 UTCwould love to get your reaction to the daesang winners🥺 enhypen’s made me cry so bad
kasey
2025-12-13 00:08:38 +0000 UTCThis stage made me realize I haven't seen TREASURE in a hot minute on a live stage, like I did not recognize half of them. I was also like "Why does YG need a new boy group? TREASURE bebuted recently". Then I realized they have been active since 2020. Which makes my statement of time goes faster each year seem to be true
Sven Lenders
2025-12-12 23:51:52 +0000 UTCI definitely recommend reacting to i-dle, they are my favorite 5th generation girl group, they do not feel like rookies at all. They give vibes of being in the industry for many years already.

2025-12-12 23:41:50 +0000 UTCThe first song ALD1 did was a remix of Hola Solar
Sven Lenders
2025-12-12 23:15:06 +0000 UTCTWS outfits did not really match the song they were performing
Sven Lenders
2025-12-12 23:07:28 +0000 UTCjust curious, cause I've realised it before already but is there a reason you're not reacting to any i-dle comebacks anymore, both solos and group stuff?

2025-12-12 22:54:06 +0000 UTCBUMSUP is the Korean representative team for world of SWF, all the leaders of the first SWF are part of the group, only Monika was missing due to her pregnancy, so she passed it on to Lip J (Monika was the unofficial coach of the team)
Sven Lenders
2025-12-12 22:38:51 +0000 UTCI think Babymonster & MEOVV were my favourite performers from chapter 1 but everyone did incredibly well considering the circumstances in Hongkong and how they had to change many aspects of the show last minute. That's why can't agree with anyone critiquing the level of the show this year, there really wasn't any weak stage imo, although I did not really vibe with the AlphaDriveOne song.
Sascha
2025-12-12 22:28:22 +0000 UTCSuper Junior performed with NO backtrack whatsoever, that's why you assumed their mics were low, but it's just fully live. I thought that was a crazy good stage tbh
Sascha
2025-12-12 22:20:46 +0000 UTCApparently Minnie performed with a torn ligament & a cracked bone in her leg/foot and had to leave with a wheelchair after she left the stage, which is batshit crazy if you ask me cause she absolutely tore up that stage and looked nothing like she had an injury.
Sascha
2025-12-12 22:14:01 +0000 UTCALD1’s song actually grew on me so much specially after hearing the song watching the performance video. I really enjoy the concept but still really interested to see what they do for the title track.. this performance was nice. Also really enjoy wishies and h2h performance really love a good collab stage

WiseSmellyLegs
2025-12-12 21:25:08 +0000 UTCI loved Treasure so much, it is definitely my preference to have more performance driven stage rather than concept and long dance breaks. However that version of Bad desire needs to get realesed cause it was so freaking good and so much more dramatic. Anyway stan Treasure yall. Jihoon killed it bruh......

2025-12-12 20:40:40 +0000 UTCThey did a pre opening because of the cancellation of the red carpet, it was kinda like a compensation for that time.
Galaxy4137
2025-12-12 20:29:51 +0000 UTCso for that pre-opening stage, MAMA cancelled the red carpet event because of the fires in HK and refunded the fans that had red carpet tickets, and then opened a free rehearsal/soundcheck moment for those fans. Kickflip were made to perform this 6 TIMES back to back sicne they were the only artists there for the rehearsal stage on day 1 (that's why they seem exhausted when performing it). Chinese audience were praising them a lot for their hard work and bc they also donated some money and wore black ribbons for the victims of the fires
Giu
2025-12-12 20:27:21 +0000 UTCThe MAMA Awards happened only two days after the apartment fire in Hong Kong, so a lot of performances were cancelled or modified last minute. For example, ALD1 was supposed to perform Hola Solar during the first half of their time slot, but it was changed since the lyrics mention a lot of fire and burning, hence the amount of filler.

2025-12-12 20:18:19 +0000 UTCI've never heard of a pre-opening stage before and wasnt even aware that was a thing at MAMA this year, but I assume this some sort of added extra for VIP ticket holders since there were a few people in attendance already by the looks of it? Otherwise what's the point of this?
