Hello, and welcome...
to the 2019 MBC Music Festival, The Chemistry.
I'm showing my chemistry with the event...
for the fifth time in a row.
Hello, I'm your host Lim Yoon A
Here I am following in her footsteps...
showing my chemistry with the event for the third time.
Hi, I'm Cha Eun Woo.
Hello, everyone.
And here I am hosting a year-end ceremony...
for the first time in my career.
I am Jang Sung Kyu, the most inexperienced host...
presenting the 2019 MBC Music Festival.
Today,
along side NCT DREAM and Stray Kids...
who showcased songs by the most successive K-pop boy bands,
Sung Kyu kicked off the show with a bang.
I was dazzled by your performance today.
- Thank you. - I was taken aback.
Right.
As a K-pop idol myself, there are a few things...
- I can easily notice. - Right.
I was shocked too.
How much you practiced was evident.
You're known for crossing the line,
and you crossed over to the world of K-pop idols today.
Thank you. I put together that performance...
to show you two that I'm prepared for this event.
If I'm being honest though,
I'd like to apologize for standing in the center.
- You were incredible. - I hope you all enjoyed it too.
Anyway, I could say the same for you two...
since you were glowing in that intro video.
- I see. - Did we have good chemistry?
It was insane.
- "Insane" is the word I'd use. - Thank you.
Thank you. Just like you saw in the intro video today,
the theme of this year's MBC Music Festival...
is chemistry.
Many artists await to showcase...
even better chemistry than what we presented earlier.
From vocal collaborations...
to dance collaborations,
all artists participating in the 2019 MBC Music Festival...
have prepared collaborations...
that will explode with chemistry.
The chemistry of various artists that will go down in history...
will be brought to you exclusively on this show,
so don't miss it.
I'm already excited to see them perform.
- Right. - That's right.
Here, at Ilsan MBC Dream Center and the special stage in Jamsil,
the 2019 MBC Music Festival is being broadcast live.
Let's meet the first performers who are going to show...
an incredible chemistry with amazing teamwork.
All right. I think...
this sentence will do to describe them.
They're the hottest stars of 2019.
That's exactly right.
They're mega rookie idol groups ITZY and (G)I-DLE.
They've come together for a performance.
The two teams with different charms have come together.
I'm excited to see what kind of synergy the two teams will create.
And stages by a singer with an amazing voice, Kim Jae Hwan,
and a group that shows splendid stages, Stray Kids, will follow.
The 2019 MBC Music Festival, The Chemistry.
- It begins now! - It begins now!
It's my first time visiting another agency, so I'm very nervous.
I'm a bit intimidated.
They're older than us, and they're our senior singers.
- How should we address them? - No idea.
- I'm so nervous. - Let's use honorific.
(Charisma that exudes from their performances)
(They're somewhat unapproachable.)
(A girl group full of charisma, (G)I-DLE)
- I don't think I can go inside. - Let's go.
- Hurry up. - It's Cube!
(The ITZY members are scared already.)
(Being careful)
(Is the practice room exuding charisma just like (G)I-DLE?)
(They enter nervously.)
- Hello! - Hello!
Welcome!
(Unlike their worries, they're wildly welcomed.)
In 1, 2, 3.
- All in us. Hello, we're ITZY. - All in us. Hello, we're ITZY.
- Thank you in advance. - Thank you in advance.
In 1, 2.
- Hello, we're (G)I-DLE. - Hello, we're (G)I-DLE.
- Hope we can get along. - Hope we can get along.
- Welcome! - This is amazing.
- Aren't we too far apart? - We got you some drinks.
That's awesome!
- Thank you. - Awesome.
(Amicable vibe)
We thought of our team name.
Tell us!
I-ITZY.
- I thought of it too! - You did?
- Let's take that! - It's so cute!
(They formed a new group called I-ITZY.)
- Then shall we pose like this? - I-ITZY?
I-ITZY.
(Impressed)
Isn't this the gesture for ITZY?
- This one. - Yes, it is.
- Let's take that then. - I-ITZY.
- I love it!
- That's amazing. - It's pretty.
In 1, 2.
- Let's go, I-ITZY! - Let's go, I-ITZY!
(What kind of performance will I-ITZY show?)
Are you ready?
("DALLA DALLA" by ITZY)
("LION" by (G)I-DLE)
("The Time I Need" and "NUNA" by Kim Jae Hwan)
("Side Effects" by Stray Kids)
My goodness. Those were some fantastic performances.
I'm afraid we must address this issue though.
We're broadcasting performances from Jamsil too today,
but the connection was quite unstable.
Although some may consider it as the beauty of live shows,
we'd like to ask for your understanding...
regarding any hitches that have occurred.
From this moment on,
we'll make sure it never happens again,
so please just get ready to fully enjoy the show.
The 2019 MBC Music Festival...
is being brought to you live also by Japan's KNTV...
as well as Southeast Asia's Oh!K.
I wonder if you two know...
why K-pop is loved so much around the world.
Yes, of course.
K-pop artists can sing, dance, and are all stunning.
K-pop has been coined as music that is enjoyed visually...
which is why we have fans all over the world.
That's right. K-pop artists are being noticed...
for having the ability to tell stories on stage.
Two groups that are known to showcase a variety of concepts...
have come together to present...
their fantastic chemistry. Right, Eun Woo?
Yoon A, is there anything you don't know?
Hosting this show for five years makes you that way.
Right, I see.
ASTRO and OH MY GIRL...
prepared a performance that'll trap you in a fantasy.
You mentioned presenting a fantasy,
but aren't you already known for your unrealistic good looks?
You're beautiful, mystical,
- and like Prince Charming. - Oh, please.
- I think you've said enough. - What do you mean?
- We should see him perform first. - Got it.
I guess I should refrain...
- from releasing spoilers. - You should refrain yourself.
Taking us to a world of fantasy are ASTRO and OH MY GIRL.
We will witness their chilling chemistry shortly.
Let's first hear from the dreamy OH MY GIRL.
("SSFWL" by OH MY GIRL)
(A mysterious box is delivered to OH MY GIRL)
- Hello. - This is out of the blue.
We're supposed to receive something.
A clue about who we'll be collaborating with...
at the 2019 MBC Music Festival.
Open the box then.
- I'll open it. - Go ahead.
- 1, 2, 3. - 2, 3.
(What's in the mystery box?)
(It's a cheering stick!)
I love that we'll be collaborating with another artist.
Isn't this a cheering stick?
(The other team also received a cheering stick.)
We listen to their songs a lot during practice.
- Right. - Yes, and as trainees too.
(The group that can make any concept work)
(OH MY GIRL is the master of showcasing different styles.)
(The boy band known for its refreshing vibe.)
(ASTRO)
(Their collaboration is highly anticipated.)
(What kind of performance will they present today?)
("The Red Shoes" by OH MY GIRL and ASTRO, original song by IU)
One more time!
("Blue Flame" by ASTRO)
Is this really the Ilsan MBC Dream Center?
I thought we were on the Broadway.
- I know. It's unbelievable. - Seriously.
I thought the stages...
by OH MY GIRL and ASTRO were a musical.
I mean, Eun Woo is so handsome, and he's so good at hosting.
On top of that, he's a great performer.
- I know. - He's so like me.
- I know! - I apologize.
- You two are amazing. - I was following the script.
He's a jack-of-all-trades.
Then why don't you, another jack-of-all-trades,
start the interviews?
Sounds great.
These are the artists who showed the first chemistry...
of the 2019 MBC Music Festival, The Chemistry.
They're ITZY and (G)I-DLE.
They're here with us.
First of all, Yeji of ITZY.
- Yes, hello. - Hi.
It's nice to meet you.
- I really enjoyed your performance. - Thank you.
How did you like the stage you did with (G)I-DLE?
They're our favorite idol group,
and I was really happy to do a collaboration stage with them.
They were really friendly during the practice.
Thanks to them,
we were able to put on a special performance for the year-end.
You were really amazing.
Now let me ask SOYEON of (G)I-DLE.
How would you describe the chemistry...
between (G)I-DLE and ITZY in one sentence?
In one sentence?
I-ITZY rocked the stage!
Right. That was a lively answer from SOYEON.
Thank you for such an enthusiastic response.
The 2019 MBC Music Festival, The Chemistry.
I'm excited about the performances to come.
- Yoon A. - Yes.
Who are the next performers?
These artists have mellow voices that will please your ears.
Kei of Lovelyz,
Yeonjung of WJSN, and Kim Jae Hwan...
prepared a perfect stage...
as if they were an already existing group.
These are the artists who will show great chemistry...
as people filled with excitement.
NORAZO...
and Hong Jin Young's stage is coming up.
Earlier,
- I showed an idol group's dance. - That's right.
Maybe it's because of that, I'm already...
dancing with the excitement within me.
- Is that so? - I can't control it.
I'm already dancing too.
As we're the hosts of the music festival,
we have to do our best, don't we?
Could you please show some response?
We're doing our best. There you go.
- I'm so embarrassed. - That's so cool.
WJSN, who will grant your wishes,
and Lovelyz, who will manipulate your memories...
of your first love, will perform next.
("As You Wish" by WJSN)

This is "CIDER". Please clap along!
Introducing...
the number one diva, Hong Jin Young!
Make some noise!
(Ilsan MBC Dream Center)
Oh, cider!
Oh, tonight, in secret
The party is wild tonight.
- I know. - Exactly.
Why don't we carry on then?
Carrying on this energy,
two artists are getting ready for a surprising collaborative stage.
Their identities were a surprise to everyone.
When these artists were unmasked,
the entire nation was taken aback.
They will bring us a collaborative performance...
that can only be seen on today's show.
The two most recent king of mask singers...
are here to perform.
They were the two most beloved contestants...
on "The King of Mask Singer" this year.
Comic Book Hero Lee Seok Hoon and Genie KYUHYUN...
prepared a duet...
that'll showcase their sweet chemistry.
The collaboration of two kings.
I can't wait to hear their songs.
I'm also excited about it too.
But first, another group...
awaits to bring the heat from the special stage in Jamsil.
The globally acclaimed NCT DREAM and NCT 127...
will bring us a dynamic performance.
- Let's hear from them right away. - Right away.
("Intro" by NCT 127 and NCT DREAM)
("BOOM" by NCT DREAM)
("Superhuman" by NCT 127)
("BREATHE" by KYUHYUN and Lee Seok Hoon,)
(original song by Lee Hi)
That was a special stage...
you could only watch on the MBC Music Festival.
We've watched a duet stage...
by Lee Seok Hoon and KYUHYUN who showed a touching harmony.
If you went through something bad this year,
I hope you take a deep breath and forget about it.
All right. We figured out why the connection...
with the special stage in Jamsil was unstable.
They told us that the sound system had a problem.
Because I was too nervous,
I wasn't really considerate of Jae Hwan...
who must've gone through a lot in this cold weather.
I want to apologize once again to Jae Hwan and the viewers.
The 2019 MBC Music Festival...
is being broadcast live.
There's only one stage left in Part One.
When did the time fly by so fast?
- I know. - I know.
Because we've been watching performances...
with amazing chemistry, the time went by very fast.
There's only one last stage left in Part One.
When it comes to dancing, this person comes to our minds.
It's none other than Chungha.
Chungha is going to show incredible chemistry with her dance.
And another person who is known...
as the legend of K-pop will join her.
My gosh, this person is going to perform with Chungha?
Is this really happening?
Yes, it is.
This is the MBC Music Festival, you see.
This chemistry was formed solely based on their passion for dancing.
Let's meet them right now.
("Snapping" by Chungha)
I was very surprised when I heard it.
I grew up watching his performances.
He's one of the top dancers in Korea.
(An all-time legend, Jang Woo Hyuk)
She dances most beautifully among all the artists I've met.
I wondered, "Will I ever be of his match?"
She's great at singing too. I think she's amazing.
I think she's an artist with many skills.
It's a collaboration that transcends generations,
which I could never imagine.
We'll be able to present a new type of performance.
We put all our effort into it.
Please look forward to it.
(Chungha and Jang Woo Hyuk)

(I love you, Jang Woo Hyuk.)
