As we are speaking, another star is walking towards the red carpet.
Is it Red Velvet on the red carpet?
They are a girl group that is fresh like a tropical fruit.
Red Velvet is entering the red carpet at the moment.
Red Velvet is a group that consistently presents...
...unique concept and addictive music.
They have been receiving a lot of love from the fans...
...with the recently released title song, "Peek-a-boo" from their second full album.
The members of Red Velvet are flaunting their goddess-like beauty.
Irene, Yeri, Joy, Seulgi, and Wendy.
Yes.
Red Velvet is the only group where I know the names of all the members.
They are stepping on the stage with their fresh charms as always.
We have an interview with them on stage.
They also appeared on the same variety with me.
Once again, each member is wearing an outfit...
...that emphasizes each of their charms.
Alright.
They're all dressed in velvet today. Can you greet the fans, Red Velvet?
-One, two, three, "Happiness!" -"Happiness!"
-Hello, we are Red Velvet. -Hello, we are Red Velvet.
Irene, this is not your first time here, right?
-That's right. -It must be meaningful for you.
That's right. Two years ago...
...we received the Best Performance for Female Group Award here.
We are so happy that we were able to come again.
Yes.
Red Velvet has been very busy throughout the year of 2017.
What kind of a year was 2017 for you, Red Velvet?
I would like to say that 2017 was a year full of gratitude.
We had our first exclusive concert and had three rounds of album promotions.
So I hope that we can be more mature next year compared to this year.
That's awesome.
Red Velvet has been maturing both in beauty and performance...
...and we will meet them again on the main stage soon.
Thank you.
-Thank you. -"Peek-a-boo".
I'm sure you will win an award today. I will look forward to your performance.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
They have been receiving lots of love for the song "Peek-a-boo".
Someone else is coming up to the stage...
-...after Red Velvet. -It's Lee Chung Ah.
Her acting has ripened these days.
-It's CEO Go. -Yes, CEO Go.
-Over here, Chung Ah. -Hello, Chung Ah.
We welcome you to the stage.
Can you please greet the fans?
Hello, I am actress Lee Chung Ah. Nice to meet you.
May I ask what is the concept of your outfit today?
I went for the calm look for my hair and makeup...
...and emphasized the dress with the beads.
-Is it CEO Go's style from the drama? -No, it's not.
CEO Go is an intimidating and cool woman...
...but I went for the more feminine look today.
May I ask how you feel about participating in MAMA today?
Actually, I'm very nervous.
-There are so many singers that I like. -Like who?
-There are too many. -Ah, too many.
I just saw Sunmi behind the stage and she was so pretty.
I know what you should do when you're nervous.
Just keep looking at me and you won't be nervous.
It looks like it worked.
We will see you soon on the main stage, Chung Ah.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
Someone else is on his way.
Lee Bum Soo is making his appearance.
"Tiger Lee" Lee Bum Soo is stepping on the red carpet.
Let us welcome him with an applause.
-Hello. -Hello.
Welcome.
Nice to meet you Lee Bum Soo. Please greet the fans.
Hello, I am so happy to see you here at the Hong Kong arena.
It feels different to see you in person compared to seeing you on screen.
Could you explain the concept of your outfit today?
-Concept of the outfit? -Yes.
It's not a special outfit.
But since this is an exciting and fun event...
...I went for the clean look.
Since you are not participating in MAMA as a singer...
...it must feel a bit different for you compared to the singers. How do you feel?
Actors are curious about singers and singers are curious about actors.
As such, my heart flutters and I'm looking forward to it.
Wow, that's great.
We will join you on the main stage soon, Bum Soo.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
Okay.
Would there be anyone this year whose heart was not stolen by this one?
-Of course not! -She is the one...
...who shook the entire country.
Why are you leaving me here? Are you going to Hong Kong today?
Sunmi is entering now.
Sunmi has topped the music charts with the song "Gashina".
She has been receiving a lot of love as the style icon.
-"24 Hours". -Hello.
-Welcome. -"Full Moon".
And "Gashina." All of them were hits.
Can you greet the fans around the globe, Sunmi?
Hello, this is Sunmi. Nice to meet you.
Along with the success of "Gashina"...
...the year 2017 must be an unforgettable year for you, right?
Yes, I am very grateful to the fans for showing so much love.
All the fans here love the song "Gashina".
-Can you show us the move? -The original, show us the original.
Why are you leaving me?
Are you embarrassed to do it without the music?
No, I'm not that embarrassed.
Then we will see your awesome performance on the main stage.
We will look forward to your performance today.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
Sunmi joined us today with a red concept.
Who is the next star, stepping out of the car?
He is...
-Taemin. -It's Taemin!
So this is what Taemin looks like when he is alone.
He's an artist who has been showing the transition from boy to man.
Taemin, who has returned as a soloist, is now entering.
It has been a busy year for Taemin, who has returned as a soloist.
He presented his sexy side...
...with his second album "Move", which was released this year.
Many claimed him to be the perfect soloist who has it all...
...as he successfully carried on with his promotions.
His title song "Move" created a wave for the "Move" disease after its release.
-So many singers made a cover for "Move". -That's right.
We should ask him about the "Move" disease when he gets here.
He always shows awesome performances on stage.
I look forward to his performance today as well.
He is here today not as SHINee, but as Taemin.
-He is so cool. -Hello.
Even the way he walks is cool.
-Welcome. -Taemin, could you say hello to the fans?
Hello, I'm Taemin. Nice to meet you, I'm Taemin.
You have created the wave for the "Move"disease.
Who do you think was the best out of all the "Move" disease?
I personally think that Lee Guk Joo, who did a cover of "Move", was the best.
Do you think we can see the original "Move"?
Yes, I will show you.
It's hard not to catch this disease.
You will be entering your 10th year since the debut next year.
What kind of artist do you want to be?
I will continue to work hard to receive the love of the fans.
Please show your love as I will present good songs and performances.
Yes, Taemin.
This is Taemin, the irreplaceable artist.
We will see your awesome performance soon.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
-Now that I see him...
-...he looks very manly today. -That's right.
I always thought of him as the youngest member of SHINee...
...but today he showed his manly side.
Alright.
Take a look at the suit.
Yoon Kyesang with the perfect suit fit is now entering.
He is an actor that I like very much.
He is brightening up the red carpet with his charming smile.
He recently acted as a villain for the first time...
...in the film "The Outlaws".
He created an unparalleled character with his unique charms.
It can be said that Yoon Kyesang has reached the peak...
...in his career as an actor.
-Yes. -Yes.
He has dressed up in an all black suit today.
I want to hurry and meet him.
As a man, there are styles that I want to imitate. His style.
Yoon Kyesang's style is something...
-...that I want to imitate. -Is that right?
Yoon Kyesang's hair is different today.
There was another hairstyle that he had before.
-That's right. -That is what I tried to imitate today.
-Welcome. -Welcome.
Hello, please greet the fans, Yoon Kyesang.
Hello, I'm Yoon Kyesang. Nice to meet you.
Yoon Kyesang, remember your hairstyle before your current one?
That's what I tried to imitate today.
It looks very good on you.
This is your first time at MAMA.
-How does it feel? -Pardon?
It's your first time at MAMA. How do you feel?
I am also a singer turned actor, so this feels special.
I kind of feel proud in a way.
You are actually a great senior of us.
Is there a junior's performance whom you're anticipating for?
BTS.
Super Junior.
-And g.o.d? -Yes, g.o.d.
I personally want to see g.o.d's performance again.
-That's right. -That's right.
We will see Yoon Kyesang again on the main stage soon.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
I am going to imitate Kyesang again on the next stage.
Yes.
There is a video that MAMA has prepared.
We will take a look at it now. Don't go anywhere.

The most desired actor, Lee Je Hoon is entering now.
Lee Je Hoon has been expanding his spectrum...
-...by acting out different characters. -Yes.
He has been persevering with his acting style...
...focusing more on sincerity rather than the trend in acting.
We could also see Lee Je Hoon's charms through variety shows.
He showed another side of him...
...with his sloppy and playful character.
Today, he looks like a boyfriend that you want to walk along with.
He looks great today as always.
I wanted to imitate Yoon Kyesang when I saw him...
...but Lee Je Hoon's style looks great, too.
Wouldn't having a boyfriend like him...
-...be unrealistic? -I would love that.
Please excuse me if I step behind while having an interview with him today.
No, everyone has their own charms.
Lee Je Hoon's perfect smile is very charming.
I can't wait to meet him.
What do you guys want to ask Lee Je Hoon?
I would like to ask him personal questions...
-...but since this is a red carpet... -Yes.
...I will ask him how he feels.
I also want to know the concept of his outfit.
You would like to ask if he has a girlfriend.
-But I will not ask that. -He is coming to the stage...

-Hello, Lee Je Hoon, nice to meet you. -Welcome.
Please say hi to the fans.

I'm very nervous and happy to be here at MAMA.
Yes.
This is your first time at MAMA. Can I ask you to explain on how you feel?
Actually, I don't have opportunities to meet singers in person...
...so I really look forward to watching today's performances.
I am going to enjoy it like a viewer or like the fans here.
-I see. -Why are you stepping back?
Even though I stepped back, my face is still bigger than his.
That's not good.
I have another question.
Which song do you listen to most frequently when you're in the car?
The music that I enjoy listening to these days...
...is by Bolbbalgan4...

I think he will be able to see their performances today.
-They're both here today. -Really?

She is waving at the fans with her million dollar smile.
-I want to hurry and meet her in person -Yes.

Run, Hanee! That's a different Hanee.

Wo xinli, chucang.

Do you think you could show us your new charms on this stage?
It could be the upgraded version of "Saved".
That's right.
I'm still in the process of developing it, so I couldn't prepare a new version.
Then could you just show us your cute charms?

Suho, the new song "Ko Ko Bop" topped the music charts again.
How was this year?
Chen, Chanyeol, and Baekhyun participated in writing the lyrics for "Ko Ko Bop".
The members actively participated in the song...
...so I am happy that the song received a lot of love.
Yes. Chanyeol, you recently had a successful concert.
How did you feel?
First, we successfully wrapped up a concert...
...last week in Gocheok Dome.
It was very enjoyable to have a concert in Korea after a long time.
Through our upcoming tour, "The Elyxion"...
...we will be performing not only in Korea but in Hong Kong, and other nations.
So please look forward to that.
What kind of performance are you going to show us today, Baekhyun?
Pardon?
What kind of performance will you be showing us today?
-First of all... -First of all, can we look forward to it?
-Pardon? -Can we look forward to it?
-Are you asking about our stage? -Yes.
We've prepared a lot and...
...you'll be able to enjoy a lot of performances.
But you'll be shocked by something special we've prepared.
Please stay tuned for our special event.
You have joined us in Japan with your unit group, EXO-CBX.
Yes.
You said you missed your other members at the time.
And now, you are all here tonight with the rest of your members.
How does it feel to be here with them?
I feel secure.
It's fun to be with the EXO-CBX members...
...but it's even more fun to be with the EXO members as a whole.
We feel more powerful when we're all together.
I see. Could you tell us about your wardrobe, Xiumin?
All eight of you share a similar style...
...but each of you are unique in your own way.
Today's concept is...
...as Suho puts it, a secret.
It's a "bling bling" style.
It look like you've matched in black and white...
...but you're saying it's a bling bling look?
It's black and white and bling bling look.
Okay, black and white and the bling bling look.
Very good.
All the fans have been waiting for EXO tonight.
The fans must be very happy to see you.
Please say something to your fans, Suho.
It's been awhile since we've been in Hong Kong.
It feels great to see our fans.
We'll put on our best show tonight for all the fans that have waited for us.
Please look forward to our special performance.
We look forward to it.
We'll see you later on at the main event.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
We're sorry about the short interview. We're running short on time.
Congratulations on your nomination.
Yes.
You've just met with EXO.
We don't have much time left but let's see who else is arriving at the red carpet.
She's here. And it's starting to get dark now.
The person you are about to meet is...
...the beautiful lady. She will be the emcee for today...
...it's actress Lee Young Ae. She's now walking on the red carpet.
My goodness.
She's an internationally known actress.
And she's dressed up in that chic black dress.
Her beauty leaves us speechless.
I don't understand how she doesn't age.
We want to know what her secret is.
She's posing for the cameras now.
She's just so graceful.
I still don't understand how she doesn't age at all.
She gets younger every time I see her.
Her beauty has been consistent for over 20 years.
Now, I finally get to meet her in Hong Kong.
I had the chance of meeting her at the cafeteria of a broadcasting studio.
I was so mesmerized by her and...
...came this close to asking her for an autograph.
She is the star of the stars.
The goddess is walking onto the stage.
Take a look at her red carpet walk.
Lee Young Ae is stepping onto the stage now.
I don't think I can look at her eye to eye.
I'm so nervous.
Yongchul is very nervous to meet her and...
...I'm sure everyone has waited for this moment.
-Here she comes. -Please be careful.
I'm sure everyone else is nervous right now.
Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you again. It's been a long time.
-Welcome. -Hello.
It's been awhile since we've seen you on stage.
Please say hello to everyone.
Hello to everyone in Hong Kong. Thank you for a warm welcome.
This is your first time at the MAMA Awards.
Please tell us how you feel.
I haven't attended such a big event since my last drama, "Jewel in the Palace".
I'm very nervous right now.
I'll do my best to enjoy the show with you all.
I've heard you're a big fan of music.
Is there a specific K-Pop song you listen to the most?
It's just too hard to pick one.
I like EXO, Wanna One, BTS...
I like all the groups the fans love.
You continuously show love to K-Pop.
You'll be watching the 2017 MAMA Awards in Hong Kong very soon.
Who's performance are you looking forward to the most?
I came to see them all because I know they'll put on a great performance.
I'm here tonight with the same kind of love these fans have for the artists.
I see.
You look very elegant tonight.
Could I ask you what's the concept of your wardrobe tonight?
I wore all black because...
...I thought it'd go well with the red carpet.
You could throw anything on and look beautiful every time.
Your beauty hasn't changed at all for the last 20 years.
It was very hard to stare into your eyes tonight.
She looks very excited about tonight's show.
If you don't mind...
...could you tell us the secret to your beauty?
I don't think I look as young as I used to.
-No, you are beautiful. -Thank you for your kind words.
My pleasure.
You are very beautiful tonight...
...and we look forward to seeing you later on.
-Thank you for joining us tonight. -Thank you very much.
Alright.
You'll be able to see Lee Young Ae again later on in the show.
Let's see who else is arriving at the red carpet.
It is...
Yes.
This is the moment!
The happiest man you will meet.
The man that has captured the hearts of all women
It's Song Joong Ki.
Shaking the hands of fans. He is such a gentleman.
He is so sweet.
It's been awhile since his last public appearance...
...here at the MAMA Awards.
He has an aura that glows everywhere he goes.
All the fans are cheering for him.
I'm very proud of how he represents our country as an actor.
He has a very important role to play here at the MAMA Awards tonight.
He will be hosting the show.
Let's have him join us for an interview.
He's in the photo zone now.
He fills up the whole place with his presence.
His suit is perfect and...
...I'm very nervous to be able to have a conversation with him so up close.
I know all the fans have waited for this moment.
I'm super excited to meet Song Joong Ki tonight.
He's here to present us with something very special.
Let's find out what it is.
Let's also find out why he is so happy these days.
That's his trademark.
He is showing the heart gesture.
He looks like he just jumped out of the magazine cover.
Yes, he does.
People just can't stop taking pictures of him.
It's Song Joong Ki. Looking at him...
-Hello. -Nice to meet you Song Joong Ki.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
Our wardrobes share the same concept in a way.
It's gray and black.
It's similar but we look very different.
Please say hello to your fans.
It's been awhile since I've been here at the MAMA Awards.
I think it's been about five years and...
...I'm very happy to be here again.
It's very nice of him to speak Chinese for the fans.
It's been five years since you've hosted the show in 2012.
How does it feel?
It's been a very long time.
I've finished my time in the military and...
...have been very busy with work.
Great things have been happening for me these days.
I want to thank MAMA for making it possible.
I'll do my best to make tonight a night to remember as a host.
I see.
We have believe in you...
...and it feels safe to say that 2017 has been a great year for you.
You've also received...
...the "Actor of the Year" award this year.
Yes, I was fortunate enough to meet an award winning project.
I've spent time feeling blessed, thanks to the fans.
I want to give back tonight, the love I've received from them.
Could we ask your plans for the future?
It hasn't been long since I've gotten married...
...so I've been getting things organized to prepare for future projects.
I'm currently trying to decide which project I should work on next.
I haven't picked anything yet...
...but I'll let you know as soon as the decision is made.
-That sounds great. -Are you saying that you're enjoying...
...your life as a newlywed?
That is also very important so...
-Yes, it is. -Sounds good.
You're the host for MAMA 2017 in Hong Kong.
Yes.
Which performance are you looking forward to the most?
A close friend of mine's performance.
His name is Do Kyung-soo.
It's EXO.
I saw him back stage just a minute ago.
I'll be expecting a lot since he's my friend.
Also, I've seen BTS' videos and they're amazing.
But I want you all to enjoy every artist's performances.
We look forward to your performance at the main event.
I hate to say this but we have to let you go now.
-Alright. -Thank you for joining us tonight.
He has to get ready to host the awards...
...so we'll see you later on.
-Thank you. -It was nice to meet you.
We have met all the guests joining us tonight.
-Yes. -Yes.
We have to say goodbye for now.
Please look forward to the performances prepared by your favorite artists tonight.
Please stay tuned everyone.

...the 2017 MAMA Best Asian Style in Hong Kong?
