Group Wanna One performed on the stage of '2021 MAMA' as a whole for the first time in three years.
Wanna One performed a special stage at '2021 MAMA' (2021 Mnet ASIAN MUSIC AWARDS) held at CJ ENM Studio Center in Tanhyeon-myeon, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do on the 11th.
Wanna One is an 11-member boy group that was created through Mnet's idol survival program 'Produce 101 Season 2', which aired in 2017. Thanks to the program's sensational popularity, Wanna One shook the music world at the same time as their debut. They officially debuted in August 2017 and continued their project activities until January 2019. After that, they returned to their respective agencies and continued their individual activities.
This day's stage was a virtually complete union with 10 people (Daniel Kang, Ji-Hoon Park, Dae-Hwi Lee, Jae-Hwan Kim, Seong-Woo Ong, Woo-Jin Park, Ji-Sung Yoon, Min-Hyeon Hwang, Jin-Young Bae, and Seong-Woon Ha) excluding Lai Kuanlin. Although the staff could not attend the live broadcast due to the COVID-19 outbreak just before the awards ceremony and were replaced with pre-recordings, their reunion stage was a hot topic enough to be counted as the highlight of the awards ceremony.
After playing 'Spring Wind' as the intro song, Wanna One showed an overwhelming performance through the stages of 'Energetic' and 'Burn It Up'. Although it was their first stage in three years, they still boasted of their breathing with the knife group dance. The members, who are engaged in various activities such as singers and actors, made the Wannables (official fan club) enthusiastic with their stage manners, choreography, and expressions more mature than before.
The last song was 'Beautiful'.
Part 3 was sung and the performance ended.
It was a stage to be shown on a live broadcast, but due to the outbreak of Corona 19, this song was also pre-recorded instead.
Wanna One conveyed their sincerity towards their fans through song.
A pre-shoot interview video conducted with '2021 MAMA' was also released.
The members said, "Finally, we're together again. I missed the fans so much. A miracle happened and it's like a dream."
He then expressed his anticipation for the stage by saying, "I hope that watching this stage will remind you of the moments when you loved us passionately."
'2021 MAMA' was broadcast live simultaneously through channels and platforms in the US and Asia, including Mnet.
This year's host was singer Lee Hyori.
BTS received the Grand Prize Singer of the Year Award, Song of the Year Award ('Butter'), Album of the Year Award (<BE>), and Worldwide Icon of the Year Award.
In addition, they won 9 awards in categories such as the Male Group Award, Best Dance Performance Male Group, Best Music Video, Worldwide Fans Choice Top 10, and TikTok Favorite Moment.
