MAMA Day 2

So it’s been almost full 24 hours since MAMA Day 2. Where to begin? I’ll start with the good things and finish with the “bad”.

Note: Is anyone else annoyed that they call it MAMA (Mnet Asian Music Awards) Awards? Awards twice? Not only did they call it that, they also wrote it in their banners. 😭

First, it was expected that Day 2 would be more eventful, that’s how it’s always been. As you know Day 1 was spent giving out the Fans Choice Awards, so all other main categories were left for Day 2.

We had legends such as Tiger Jk and Jaurim, who just celebrated their 25th anniversary in August. It made it that much sweeter to see them perform their hit song Twenty Five, Twenty One. The opening performance by 3RACHA (Bang Chan, Han and Changbin from Stray Kids), Tiger Jk and Jung Jae Il is also worth noting. It was a powerful and meaningful message, fitting for a “new beginning” aka post-covid era. A reminder and gratitude towards the music and artists that got us through it. A promise from them to keep doing it for the music.

Overall, all performances were more exciting on Day 2, at least to me. I wouldn’t say there was anything that really surprised me. I’m not gonna lie, IVE’s stage felt a little bare, but I credit that due to the fact that maybe Starship could not afford a big stage with more props, more intrigue. At the same time, they did the best with what they could and the grils’ stage presence made up for it. One thing I really liked was the collaboration stage between INI and NiziU. It probably won’t look incredible or jaw dropping to most people, it didn’t to me, but there’s something about it that made me sit back, relax and enjoy it and I felt some sort of stress, that I didn’t know I had, just completely disappear.         

My favorite stages were Jaurim’s collaboration with G(I)-DLE and j-hope’s, but I expected as much. I wasn’t nervous for him performing alone. I was really happy to see this new, fresh j-hope who was not at all sunshine. He was more like the asteroid that hits second after you think it’s the sun. TREASURE also had a good stage, they brought up the energy and the audience really enjoyed it. I watched both days of MAMA with my mama, and the stages she enjoyed the most were Stray Kids, IVE, ENHYPEN and j-hope. She’s a big fan of all of them. I can’t cay I’m a big ENHYPEN enthusiast, but I do listen to some of their songs.

Side note: I love that when 3RACHA was performing the rest of Stray Kids' brain cells held up self-made signs for them, lol.

ITZY’s comeback stage….. Hm, let’s see. I did enjoy it,  I liked the song. However my personal opinion is that they made a mistake performing Cheshire first, followed up by their previous hits. I think they should’ve followed Kara’s example and performed their older songs first and then the comeback stage. It would’ve built up more anticipation and had bigger impact. Between Cheshire and Sneakers something felt disconnected. But If I look at each song performance separately, then they were all good.

Awards wise, again, no surprises there. Even with IVE winning SOTY. I don’t mean to brag, but I did predict it a few seconds before it happened. When they were showing the nominees my mom said something in the lines of BTS probably winning all awards again (mind you my mom is all new to this), and I said “I don’t know, watch SOTY go to Love Dive”.  It did. So yeah, that’s my mini moment for the Day 2, lol. My mom was very happy and I think it was well deserved, so congratulations to IVE. I myself love that song a lot.

Oh, I almost forgot about ZICO! I loved Zico’s stage, I was looking forward to him performing Freak more than anything. I love that song so much, the entire “Grown Ass Kid” album is so f*cking good. Yeah. If you haven’t heard it I recommend it, even if you’re not a hiphop fan, just…. You don’t have to, but I encourage you to try it.

I do have some complaints however. First, the camerawork was a notch better, but still bad. For such an important day, that they already spent millions for, you could’ve have put a little bit more effort into good video coverage. MAMA was not only awards show this year. It is arguably the biggest awards show in Asia and the fact that for the first time since covid it was in-person attendance, overseas as is tradition, it also served as a signal for a new beginning. Not only in music, but in entertainment in general.

My second dissatisfaction is with Lim Young Woong and Monika Shin’s stage. I know that Monika Shin is a big, established and well-respected name in various fields. Most notably in dance. I don’t mean to throw shade on her, but that dance choreography felt so distant and separate from Young Woong’s singing. It was like trying to watch two different performances at the same time. It was distracting and unattractive. Also, correct me if I’m wrong but I didn’t think she majored in contemporary dance? Her movements felt a little too sharp. With Young Woong’s powerful voice, I would’ve much preferred to just see him stand still with a mic stand, maybe raised on a not too high pedestal, with some simple CGI for the dome screens and home viewers. It would’ve been so much more powerful to me.

Last thing, I’m aware of the situation with (G)I-DLE and the criticism they’ve been getting over speaking against award shows, but I chose not to address that issue here as it requires a post of its own. A post I’m not sure I’m willing to make at this point in time, so if anyone is curious what I think about it, feel free to message me or consult with Remon. Quite frankly, I don’t see why anyone would care what I have to say about anything, but there’s that.

That’s pretty much all I had to say, I hope I’m not forgetting anything. If I haven’t talked about certain groups or artists, I’ve done so on purpose. It means I either have some sort of unresolved personal feelings towards them, or they simply didn’t stand out to me enough to mention.

스물다섯, 스물하나 (Twenty-Five, Twenty-One) 바람에 날려 꽃이 지는 계절엔

In the season when flowers are strewn by the wind and wilt

아직도 너의 손을 잡은 듯 그런 듯 해.

It is as if I am still holding your hand

그때는 아직 꽃이 아름다운 걸

Then, the flowers were still beautiful

지금처럼 사무치게 알지 못했어.

I hadn’t realized it as deeply as I do now

우~ 너의 향기가 바람에 실려 오네.

Your fragrance is carried on the wind

우~ 영원할 줄 알았던 스물다섯, 스물하나.

I had thought it would last forever, twenty-five and twenty-one

그 날의 바다는 퍽 다정했었지.

The sea was so gentle that day

아직도 나의 손에 잡힐 듯 그런 듯 해.

It is as if you are still holding my hand

부서지는 햇살 속에 너와 내가 있어

You and I, amidst the blinding sunlight

가슴 시리도록 행복한 꿈을 꾸었지.

I dreamed a dream so happy it made my heart ache

우~ 그날의 노래가 바람에 실려 오네.

The melody from that day is carried on the wind

우~ 영원할 줄 알았던 지난날의 너와 나.

I had thought we would forever be who we were back then

너의 목소리도 너의 눈동자도

Your voice and your gaze

애틋하던 너의 체온마저도

Even your bodily warmth

기억해내면 할수록 멀어져 가는데

The more I try to remember, the more distant they become

흩어지는 널 붙잡을 수 없어.

You are scattering, and I cannot hold on

바람에 날려 꽃이 지는 계절엔

In the season when flowers are strewn by the wind and wilt

아직도 너의 손을 잡은 듯 그런 듯 해.

It is as if I am still holding your hand

그때는 아직 네가 아름다운 걸

That you were still beautiful then

지금처럼 사무치게 알지 못했어.

I hadn’t realized as deeply as I do now

우~ 너의 향기가 바람에 실려 오네.

Your fragrance is carried by the wind

우~ 영원할 줄 알았던 스물다섯, 스물하나.

I had thought it would last forever, twenty-five and twenty-one

우~ 그날의 노래가 바람에 실려 오네.

The melody from that day is carried by the wind

우~ 영원할 줄 알았던 지난날의 너와 나.

I had thought we would forever be who we were back then

우~ 영원할 줄 알았던 스물다섯, 스물하나.

I had thought it would last forever, twenty five, twenty one

스물다섯, 스물하나.

Twenty five, twenty one

[sarikovskj]

너의 목소리도 너의 눈동자도

And your voice and your eyes

애틋하던 너의 체온마저도

even the warmth of your body

기억해내면 할수록 멀어져 가는데

the more I recollect, the further away it slips

흩어지는 널 붙잡을 수 없어.

I can’t cling on as it scatters

[…]

아직도 너의 손을 잡은 듯 그런 듯 해…[…]

it’s like I’m still holding your hand…

지금처럼 사무치게 알지 못했어

at that time I couldn’t understand as deeply as I do now

[…]

우~ 너의 향기가 바람에 실려 오네… […]

oh, your fragrance carried in the wind…

우~ 영원할 줄 알았던 지난날의 너와 나…

oh, you and I in the past I thought would last forever…

위로 - תנחומים

בזמן שמישהו בוכה, מישהו אחר צוחק

בזמן שמישהו בא, מישהו אחר הולך

אני רוצה לנחם אותך, אבל אני לא מצליח.ה לחשוב על דרך.

בזמן שיש מישהו, חסר מישהו אחר

כשאני אישכח, את.ה תהיי.ה זכור.ה

ככה זה, ככה זה

בזמן שמישהו בוכה, מישהו אחר צוחק

בזמן שיברכו אותך לשלום, אני אעזוב

ככה זה, ככה זה

לה לה לה לה לה לה….

יש משהו בשיר הזה שמצליח לנחם אותי במיוחד יותר מכל שיר אחר. כשאני מאזינה לו אני יכולה להרגיש מעין תחושת עטיפה חמימה כזאת.

יכול להיות שזו ה��נגינה דמוית שיר ערש, הקול הצלול של הסולנית קים יונה, או המילים, עם כמה שהן פשוטות. לפעמים לא צריך ביטויים גדולים ופואטיים במיוחד, ורק מספיקה התזכורת ש"ככה זה".
