As for me, I've traveled Yokohama before.
And now that I'm here today as a host for MAMA,
it brings back old memories.
So today, we'll be hosting the Red Carpet with these two familiar with Japan.
In honor of that, can you two greet everyone here in Japanese?
I already greeted everyone in Japanese already.

She said it's an honor to be here as a solo artist today.
- Yes, so... - Nope. Go ahead.
There are more things I'd like to ask.
MAMA this year must feel different from than last year, right?
How are they different? Can you tell us?
Well, first off, I thought it would be really lonely,
But since Weki Meki and Pristin are here,
I'm really relieved and encouraged.
So, I don't really feel anything different.
That's nice.
Thank you for joining us today, Chung Ha.
I hope something great happens to you today.

I have a short question for you.
- Miss Jieqiong? - Yes?
Pristin has received a lot of love lately.
- That's right. - Especially with your debut album.
What do you think is the reason?
Probably because we have both powerful and pretty elements,
and also because we write our own songs.
I think that is the reason..
...why so many people acknowledge us and love us.
I think it's because of our fan club "High".
We love you High!
Is it okay to expect your good performance today?
Yes, of course.
We will look forward to Pristin's powerful and pretty performance today.
We will see you at the main event.
- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Really? - Yes.
But we have different vibes, right?
Since they say you take good selfies,

or speed skating...

How about cute expressions?
One, two, three!
First pose, second pose, third pose.
- Thank you. - Thank you so much!
Seungkwan! Do you think you'll be able to win the award tonight?
Win the award?
- Well, I'd love to win, but... - You can do that!
Actually last year, I said that it didn't matter if we got an award or not,
but this year I want to win.
As you should!
So we will see you at on stage later,
and we look forward to your amazing performance.
- Thank you! - Thank you very much!
We'll see you later during your amazing performance!
Thank you everyone!
Their popularity is out of this world.
So many of you are wondering who is coming now.
I wonder who will join us next?
They have just arrived!
It's Wanna One!
Wanna One has entered the building!
This year's victors in the music industry,
each unique and special,
hand-picked for their superb talents, Wanna One has entered the building!
We have no words to express their popularity...
...as the love they have received goes beyond that.
Their single "Beautiful" dominated all of the charts.
The response overseas has been hot as well.
Last week, at the 2017 MAMA Awards in Vietnam,
they took home the Best of Next Award.
I wonder what performances they have in store for their fans all over the world?
Let's welcome Wanna One on stage!
- Hello! - Welcome!
Wanna One, the group that so many were waiting for.
It's so nice to meet you.
Is everyone on stage?
There are many of you,
but I would like to ask you to greet your fans together.
Yes, we'd like to introduce ourselves.
"All I wanna do, Wanna One!" Hello, we are Wanna One.
Ji-sung, along with last week in Vietnam,
you are attending MAMA in Japan.
How do you feel?
I am so grateful...
...that you not only invited us to Vietnam but also to Japan.
I was so honored to have seen amazing artists perform on stage.
We have also prepared long and hard for our performance,
so we hope you enjoy it!
- Very good! - Minhyun, since we're in Japan,
could you say a few words to your Japanese fans?
Hello, we are Wanna One.
For 2017 MAMA in Japan,
We have prepared long and hard for our performance,
so we hope you enjoy the show!
That's great!
Dae-hwi! Aren't you good at Japanese too?
Aren't you good at Japanese too?
- I lived in Japan, when I was younger. - Oh, really?
Could you say a few words as well then?
Nice to meet you. My name is Dae-hwi from Wanna One.
Your greeting is very cute!
I hope you enjoy our performance on stage. Thank you so much.
Wanna One's blue outfits are very impressive today.
Is there anything you're curious about, Ahyoung?
Personally, I am curious about this...
What is your secret to being loved by so many people?
Jae-hwan, could you tell us the answer?
I think it's because people have watched us grow...
...from before our debut till now,
and have cheered us along every step of the way.
Even though all eleven members had different talents and characteristics,
they loved us as a whole group.
Because of their love and support, we were able to come this far.
2017 was a deep and prominent year for you.
Kang Daniel what kind of a year was 2017 for Wanna One in a few words?
Since we received a lot of love, "I Love You".
That was so witty!
Kang Daniel, you are so witty!
On another note, I must apologize to Ji-hoon.
On various shows, I impersonated Ji-hoon's "Save" many times.
I copied you only because it left such a strong impression in my mind.
Then we must see the original!
I heard that Ji-hoon prepared it in Japanese especially for today.
To commemorate coming to Japan,
I have prepared "Save" in Japanese.
Okay, look at the camera.
- Shall I hold that for you? - Thank you.
Saving it in my heart!
The fans are going wild!
- Oh, this? - Don't do it!
- Only the original! - Okay, I understand.
We would like to spend more time with Wanna One,
but since we have the performance later.
We'll look forward to seeing you later then.
- Thank you! - Thank you so much!
We hope to see a great performance later!
Thank you, everyone!
As time goes by, the energy level gets hotter and higher!
I agree!
Actually, we have a "hot" spoiler in store for you.
Shall we take a sneak peek at the amazing performances in store for us today?
- Let's go! - Let's go!

To continue, we must greet the next guests on the Red Carpet.
I wonder who is up next?
They are coming in now!
The group representing Japan! AKB48!
They are here!
Please take your pictures.
AKB48 can be called the representative girl group of Japan.
They are currently still holding the title as the female artist...
...with the most best selling albums in Japan this year.
After their debut in 2005,
their popularity has been undeniable for 12 years.
The love they receive are not only from Japan,
but from Thailand, Indonesia and Asia as well.
In 2009, 2012 and 2015, we met AKB48 through video...
...for their acceptance of the Best Asian Artist Award at MAMA.
However finally,
they have graced us with their presence at the 2017 MAMA in Japan.
AKB48 has the most amount of members we've seen so far,
I see them posing for pictures right now.
They are taking the pictures so lovingly.
- All thirty two members are present. - You're right.
They are currently in the middle of their photo session,
but we shall get to know them better on stage.
The flowers on their dresses resemble their beauty.
Can you imagine how full our stage will be once they all arrive?

AKB48 will join the stage later tonight,
how did you prepare for your performance?
How did you prepare for your performance?
We just finished our rehearsal.
We saw that other artists' performances were cute...
...but also impressive at the same time.
We learned a lot by watching them.
We will also show you a great performance.
We just finished our rehearsal.
Other performers were beautiful and impressive,
so we will try our hardest to give our best performance as well.
Which K-pop artist are you looking forward to seeing the most tonight?
That is a difficult question.
- I don't know about the rest of you... - I'm not sure if I can say this but...
Personally, I am looking forward to seeing TWICE the most.
I want to meet them.
It was a difficult question,
but personally I want to meet twice the most.
While TWICE is our representative girl group of Korea,
we hope to see your amazing performance as Japan's representative girl group.

Next time, I want to speak with each member individually if we get a chance.

Yes, it is because this is a group I know and it's great to see them,
but I would really like to interview each of them later on.
- But that's just me. - I see.
- The red carpet! - He's coming in now!
Who is this?
I could sense his masculinity from a mile away.
With his impressive height and looks,
Lim Ju-hwan has paused for his photo opportunity.
When it comes to Lim Ju-hwan,
he is best known for his roles in "The Island" and "Ugly Alert".
Today he looks perfect.
Have you ever seen a man who looks better in a suit?
In my opinion, usually "the clothes make the man,"
but in this case Lim Jun-hwan makes the clothes.
Yes, I completely agree.
Now, we are about to start our interview with Lim Ju-hwan on stage.
- Welcome! - Welcome to the Red Carpet stage.
I do believe this is my first time meeting him,
but I keep wanting to mention his impressive height again.
- It is a pleasure to meet you. - Hello!
Please introduce yourself to your fans.
Good Evening, I am Lim Ju-hwan.
This is your first time at MAMA, right?
Could you tell us your feeling about joining us for MAMA 2017?
I am so happy to be here and I would love to come back every year.
It's settled, Lim Ju-hwan will join us for MAMA every year.
- Along with us. - That's great by me!
I'll do my best to make that happen.
In the 2017 MAMA Awards,
which performance are you looking forward to the most?
I am looking forward to Chen, Baekhyun and Xiumin's performance the most.
Yes, CBX.
CBX's performance?
Lim Ju-hwan, please enjoy yourself at MAMA.
- We'll see you later at the main event. - Yes.
- Thank you for your time. - Thank you very much.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- He made our red carpet shine! - His height is so impressive.
So impressive that you mentioned it twice.
- I was shocked by his height... - Yes.
I shocked.
Speaking of shocked, I thought I just saw a doll walk in.
With her beautiful presence, Kim So Hyun has graced the red carpet.
She has just arrived and is currently taking photos.
This year marks her tenth year as an actress.
Transitioning from a girl to a young lady,
she grows more beautiful with each passing day.
Although she is wearing a beautiful dress today,
I must say again that the clothes did not make her,
she made the clothes shine.
The dress should thank her for gracing it with her presence.
She looks like a goddess.
As time goes by, she grows more feminine.
Not only acting, but there isn't anything she can't do.
Let's greet Kim So Hyun on stage.
- Welcome, Kim So Hyun. - Welcome.
Hello, Kim So Hyun.
It's wonderful to see you.
Many people started to cheer as soon as you arrived,
could you greet them?
KIM SO HYUN
Hello, my name is Kim So Hyun, it's great to meet you.
This is your second time at MAMA,
could you tell us your thought?
It's an honor to come here a second time,
I look forward to all of the great performances today.
That sounds great.
When I saw you onscreen,
I saw you mostly in beautiful traditional clothes.
However, you have on a beautiful evening dress today.
Could you tell us more about your dress?
It is the dress of a young girl who will soon turn into a lady.
I see.
A young girl who is anticipating herself to become a lady...
What about you, Jisuk?
My dress? It's just white.
- White? - Yes.
Many people have been saying recently...
...that you are getting more and more ladylike as time passes by.
How do you feel when people tell you that?
I feel happy to hear that and want to be more ladylike.
- Really? - Yes.
We will enjoy the festivities with So Hyun at the Yokohama Arena today.
One more quick question.
Which artist's performance are you looking forward to the most?
I am looking forward to TWICE's performance the most.
- That's great. - What is your favorite song from TWICE?
I like 'TT'.
There's "Likey" and so many other songs that are garnering much love.
I hope you watch till the very end.
If you don't mind, could we see your rendition of TT?
Oh my! So Hyun that was so lovely!
We hope you have a great time and a great night.
- Thank you! - Thank you very much.
See you at the main event.
We have met many people on the Red Carpet today.
Yes, the Red Carpet is shining with stars today.
We are about to meet our next star,
- but I am so nervous. - Why?
It is because I am so starstruck.
They are coming in now!
As always, they exceed my expectations.
I can understand why you're so nervous!
- NU'EST W has entered the building. - Yes, they have.
Please tell us about them.
Featured in the hit show Produce 101, NU'EST is a group that features members...
...who have overturned the music scene this past year.
They are currently waving to their fans on the Red Carpet.
Their album "W Here" in October hit number one as soon as it was released.
Not only that but they were also number one on M Countdown,
and are walking on the road to success.
Their fan meeting was held in Hong Kong.
And the Billboard chart released a press article...
...about their comeback and album.
They are a force to be reckoned with.
There are high hopes for NU'EST W at MAMA...
and their performance will surely turn heads this year.
We must ask them how they feel!
Yes, welcome!
- Hello! - Welcome!
Please come on stage.
Good evening!
Please come to the left.
So many people are excited to see NU'EST.
Please introduce yourself!
One, two, three.
Hello, we are NU'EST W.
It's wonderful to meet you.
We heard that all of the members are fluent in Japanese,
could we ask you to introduce yourselves in Japanese?
It is a pleasure to meet you at the 2017 MAMA in Japan.
One, two, three!
Hello, we are NU'EST W.
It is an honor and pleasure for us to be standing on stage today.
We have prepared a lot for you today, so please enjoy the show.
We are NU'EST W, thank you.
That was fantastic.
Did you study Japanese or teach yourself?
You could say that we taught ourselves.
We watched animation.
- You need the talents to do that. - Of course.
That dedication is what created NU'EST W today.
MAMA in Japan this year...
...will be a bit different for NU'EST, could you tell us why?
- Baekho will explain. - Yes.
Such a great relationship.
It's been six years since we debuted,
but this is our first time at MAMA.
It is a little nerve-wrecking and thrilling,
but it is an honor to be here.
It is truly a memorable year for us.
I can truly hear the sincerity in your voice.
If you look at it one way,
you've wanted to be on this stage for too long...
...and you've finally made it,
so we will cheer you on every step of the way.
NU'EST W has spent a lot of time in Japan,
could you tell us some of your favorite Japanese foods?
- Each members? - Good idea!
I like sukiyaki.
- Sukiyaki? - I agree.
However, I ate Okonomiyaki yesterday.
He likes sukiyaki, but ate okonomiyaki yesterday.
I personally like sushi.
Japanese food is so delicious that I like all of it.
It's actually dinner time, so Ahyoung, Jisuk and I are hungry.
All I can think about is sushi now.
What else?
I like ramen.
There are so many types of ramen like Tonkatsu, Miso, Shoyu...
- Personally I like Shoyu ramen. - Shoyu ramen is great.
- Now I want to eat ramen! - What about Baekho?
When I was in Japan I usually ate bento during our busy schedules,
so I have a fond memory for them.
It's hard to forget a food that you ate during times of hardship.
Right, but the lunchboxes in Japan are delicious.
They are so good!
- What kind of Japanese food do you want? - Me?
I could eat everything right now.
What about you, Ahyoung?
Me too, I could eat anything.
Then, let's wrap up the red carpet and head out to eat delicious food after.
Let's go eat everything all four members mentioned.
- Okay, everything! - Okay.
Until now, it was NU'EST W.
We'll be looking forward to your performance.
Thank you.

After the NU'EST member mentioned food,
I got really hungry.

Also, he has a great personality which everyone respect.
Now he's showing off his handsomeness.
He makes people feel happy just by looking at him.
People call it a Bo Gum Magic.
It works, I guess.
Greetings, Bo Gum.
- Welcome. Nice to meet you. - Welcome.
Stand here, please.
Wow, very handsome!
He's so tall. I found nowhere to stand.
Feels great to be standing next to him.
It makes me jealous to look at him!
Many people have waited for you.
Please say something to your fans.
Thank you all waiting. I'm Park Bo Gum. Nice to meet you.
Thank you, Bo Gum.
It is your second time here at the MAMA awards.
How do you feel?
It feels great to be here, and I look forward to join again.
I already let the staff know.
You are going to be here with us next year.
- Glad to hear that. - Is it?
I heard there's a special reason for you to join us tonight?
There's nothing special.
But I wish to give support to all the artists perform tonight.
Please enjoy the show and support them.
I can't help but to ask.
You've been busy here in Japan with work and fan meetings.
Is there any specific place you'd recommend to travel in Japan or to eat?
First thing I do in Japan is eat Tonkatsu.
But I haven't been to the hidden spots.
Can you hosts recommend a vacation spot for me?
Vacation spot? Tonkatsu?
- You keep thinking about Tonkatsu? - Yes, I am.
I can't stop thinking about it. But I recommend you visiting Kobe.
Kobe beef is very delicious and famous, and they have onsens.
I recommend you to go and check next time.
- Thank you for the recommendation. - Very good.
His eyes are too beautiful, I can't help myself but keep falling in.
The fans are asking you to pose.
Will you show them a romantic gaze?
Romantic gaze!
Very good.
I've heard he prepared a special stage for his companion artists.
I hope crowds give him a good praise.
We also look forward to enjoy this show with you.
I have a question.
Who are you expecting to win the prize?
I cannot. There are too many eminent artists.
But I wish I become the one who performs on MAMA someday.
Are you willing to perform by yourself?
You cannot know.
He might perform playing the piano one day.
He's a great singer so it's possible.
As a reminder, we are taking votes for the "Best Asian Award in Japan".
Could you tell us about your wardrobe?
Can see the lavish embroidery on the suit?
I want Yokohama's night to be as beautiful as my suit tonight.
Very good. He's the host tonight.
It's so different from what I've said earlier.
- What did you said? - I said checkered.
He's making Yokohama shine tonight.
I hope tonight be beautiful as your suit.
Thank you. See you later on.
We'll meet you at the main stage.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
