What’s good, y’all? I’m Kyle Denis. It’s Tuesday, November 28th, and I am bringing you news from our New York offices.

You will probably see some of my co-workers walking around behind me. I’m filling in for Tetris because he’s in Tokyo right now for the MAMA Awards, and he got an inside look at how the show is put together.

Tetris Kelly:
TOMORROW X TOGETHER, LE SSERAFIM, SEVENTEEN, ENHYPEN, ATEEZ and me? Guys, I can’t believe it. I’m in Tokyo at the Tokyo Dome for the 2023 MAMA Awards. Every artist you can think of is going to be hitting this stage, and I’m here to take you behind the scenes to the biggest event in K-pop. The MAMA Awards take place on November 28th and 29th in Tokyo, Japan. And speaking of the amazing show, I got to talk to one of the producers about what the MAMA Awards mean.

Hyoung-jin Lee:
It’s different in many ways. MAMA Awards is the world’s No. 1 K-pop awards. As it incorporates different technologies. It’s the most future-oriented awards show.

Tetris Kelly:
And speaking of it being high-tech, you’re a part of the performances. You helped produce this. I mean, some of my favorite stages have been at this show. BTS in 2020 was out of control. So how was it to arrange these stages?
