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)
("Beautiful Days" by Lovelyz)
("How Can I Love the Heartbreak, You Are the One I Love"...)
(by Kei, Yeonjung, and Kim Jae Hwan, original song by AKMU)
(NORAZO and Hong Jin Young)
("SHOWER", "CIDER", "Love Tonight" by NORAZO and Hong Jin Young)
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)
(Chungha)
(I love you, Jang Woo Hyuk.)
(Jang Woo Hyuk)
(Chungha)
("WEEKAND" and "Warrior's Descendant"...)

(2019 MBC Music Festival: THE CHEMISTRY, Part 2)
(Ilsan MBC Dream Center)
("Lazenca, Save Us", original song by N.EX.T...)
(and "Hunt" by Guckkasten)
Party with us and jump!
The 2019 MBC Music Festival.
We kicked off Part Two with the performance by Guckkasten.
The heat seems to have risen some more.
Are you all having fun?
- Yes. - Yes!
Thank you.
We have more entertaining collaborative performances...
waiting for you in Part Two,
so please look forward to all of them.
Why should we wait another second, right?
Let's introduce the next artists that'll show off their chemistry.
I can say with absolute certainty that these two artists...
will have the best chemistry out of all the teams here.
The other artists all had great chemistry too,
so there must be a reason behind Sung Kyu's confidence.
Of course. The performance by these two artists...
will be in the shade of pink that no one can mimic.
Are you perhaps talking...
about the two in love who both have successful careers?
- That's right. - Goodness.
They love passionately but challenge each other on stage.
HyunA and DAWN have been competing as two of the best artists,
but they'll bring us a joint performance today...
showing off their real-life chemistry.
This will be their first...
and last performance together,
so the 2019 MBC Music Festival is bringing you an exclusive show,
so don't miss it.
After HyunA and DAWN perform,
so will the artist who took 2019 by storm.
That's right.
It's the artist who created a sensation this year.
Song Ga Il is prepared...
to rock the special stage in Jamsil.
so please stay tuned for her performance too.
("Money" and "FLOWER SHOWER" by HyunA and DAWN)
Happy New Year, everyone.
("Mother Arirang" by Song Ga In)
Did you hear their cheer?
She's indeed the best.
"I'm Song Ga In."
She's amazing.
All right. The next stage is an exclusive collaboration...
you can only watch on the 2019 MBC Music Festival.
Yoon A, am I right?
That's right.
Celeb Five, the rookie girl group that made a grand debut in 2018,
took another challenge.
Right.
The artists that participated...
in a superb project with Celeb Five are...
You'll find out later.
MONSTA X who has become a global idol group...
prepared legendary performances.
You can look forward to it.
The first to take the stage...
are the innocent fairies of Celeb Five.
- Let's watch. - Let's watch.
- Fairies. - Yes?
We've come to the human world...
and challenged ourselves to a lot of projects.
It's time for another challenge.
I heard that there are people...
who challenged the fairies of Celeb Five.
They're quite fearless.
Who are they?
Are they the girls who challenged us?
Are they?
- In 2, 3. Hello. - Hello.
- We're AOA, Ace of Angels. - We're AOA, Ace of Angels.
- In 2, 3. - In 2, 3.
- Five, Five, Celeb Five. - Five, Five, Celeb Five.
- Help us become bigger stars. - Help us become bigger stars.
We're Celeb Five.
- Hello. - Hello, we're Celeb Five.
These girls are angels,
- and we're fairies. - Yes, we're fairies.
(Fairies versus angels)
- Is there a main vocalist? - Yes.
- Right, the main vocalist. - The main vocalist.
- Come on out! - The main vocalist!
- Come on! - Don't!
Why did you decide on that now?
(Warming up)
(They strike back with their title song.)
(I wish I could unsee that)
(Clapping)
(She suddenly imitates Lee Sun Hee.)
(Excited)
(The main vocalist of fairies is trained to impersonate others.)
- Great. - Come on.
Oh, it's... Wow.
My goodness.
She gave me her cap.
My gosh.
Oh, my goodness.
Fairy Bong Sun.
Beat them!
(The main dancer of Celeb Five comes forward.)
(Her random dance is unbeatable.)
(Shaking)
Okay! That's great!
The most good-looking one.
- There's one in your group? - What about yours?
(Round 3, Looks)
- Come on out. - Stop it.
Hold on.
The most good-looking member, come on out!
- She's the most beautiful member. - Hold on a second.
We really have a pretty member, but she's not here today.
- When did you guys debut? - Pardon?
- Us? - What do you mean?
- It's been 2 years since our debut. - Your career in this field.
- Two years? - Yes.
It's been eight years for us.
(She's proud.)
Are you perhaps a curmudgeon?
Gosh, how scary.
- Back in our days... - Back in our days...
- Ace of Angels and Celeb Five... - "Ace of Angels".
How does Ace of Celeb sound?
- We love it! - We love it!
- Ace of Celeb! - Ace of Celeb!
(The collaboration stage by angels and fairies is highly anticipated!)
("I Wish I Could Unsee That" by Celeb Five)"
(Celeb Five)
(AOA and Celeb Five)
("Come See Me" by AOA)
("Party Time" and "Follow" by MONSTA X)
Everyone, sing along!
MONSTA X always puts on performances...
that are too cool and dynamic.
Exactly.
And the performance by Ace of Celeb...
was the one that I watched in awe and thoroughly enjoyed.
Don't you think we should get to see this on other shows too?
Exactly. It seems impossible to say...
that the group was formed just for the 2019 MBC Music Festival.
It was a performance that showcased the artists'...
great friendship and chemistry.
As you all know, the 2019 MBC Music Festival...
is being brought to you live...
and we're halfway through Part Two.
Sung Kyu...
stepped away to meet the artists in person.
Sung Kyu?
I'm here to meet with the artists who are performing today.
First, let me start off with the group...
that has debuted most recently.
It's Celeb Five.
Bong Sun, the crowd is going wild.
How does it feel to be here?
This is the first time our group has been invited...
- to the MBC Music Festival. - I see.
We hope that we can be back next year as well,
so we'll keep on working hard and show better performances.
It's an honor.
- Give them a round of applause. - Thank you.
We'll look forward to your songs next year.
You can all sit back down now. Eun I, please have a seat.
Good. Next up is Seolhyun.
You brought us a cool narration just now.
Right.
I witnessed the great chemistry your two groups have,
but what if you had to define it with one word?
- What would it be? - One word?
9, 0, 1.
The 9 members will always be 1 unit.
Nice!
That was quite poetic. You sounded like a master poet.
- Thank you. - Thanks for that.
The unexpected chemistry that you never dreamed...
of being true.
We still have many performances...
that will only be showcased...
on the 2019 MBC Music Festival.
Yoon A and Eun Woo?
- Yes. - Yes, that's right.
Just like MONSTA X who showed us...
a world-class performance,
there are many K-pop artists...
who won over the hearts of fans all over the world.
That's right. The globally acclaimed K-pop artists...
that have been showing the power of K-pop...
have come together to bring us their unique chemistry.
Is that even possible?
It is possible...
- on the 2019 MBC Music Festival. - It is.
MONSTA X,
GOT7,
and NU'EST.
The presence of these three teams are blinding just by their names.
I can't wait to see the chemistry...
they have in store for us.
I'm also excited to hear from them,
but NU'EST is ready first...
to aim their charms directly at our hearts.
We shouldn't make them wait any longer.
- NU'EST's stage... - starts now.
("LOVE ME" by NU'EST)
("Just A Feeling" by Baekho, Hwang Min Hyun of NU'EST,)
(JB and Young Jae of GOT7,)
(Shownu and Ki Hyun of MONSTA X, original song by S.E.S.)
Let's go.
They've always been known for their dynamic performances,
but they filled the stage with just their vocals this time.
I'm amazed at how they were able to blend...
all of their voices together.
I think that these groups should also be known...
for their talented vocalists.
Not only that, but they also have handsome members.
I don't know what they're selling, but I'm buying.
Sung Kyu, can I introduce you to another fully-packed one?
Is there another one?
This one's known for having a great mood.
It's a stage where sentimental balladeer Sung Si Kyung...
and Red Velvet...
will bring us a performance that is as cozy and innocent
as the white snow.
That's right. This is the first time...
these two artists will perform together.
Melting our hearts that is frosty from this cold weather...
will be their heartwarming chemistry...
and I can't wait.
You're right.
If you're done enjoying the mood,
then you should move on to the variety of concepts...
that you can enjoy as if you're at a buffet.
That is one incredible analogy.
The group who was loved in 2019 for its contrasting charms.
GOT7 will bring us yet another twist.
Also, MAMAMOO who always...
shows a variety of concepts on stage awaits.
Right.
I say, "Mama, mama, moo"
("Destiny" and "HIP" by MAMAMOO)
("It's You" by Sung Si Kyung and Red Velvet)
("Come On" and "THURSDAY" by GOT7)
Happy New Year!
- GOT7! - GOT7!
GOT7 showed off their cute charms...
through their perfect performance.
Right. Currently, it's 11:58 p.m. and 45 seconds.
There's only 1 minute left in 2019.
- That's right. - Right. Seriously...
It will be 2020 soon.
In order to greet the new year,
every artist has come up to the stage.
That's right. There's only one minute left.
30 seconds before the clock strikes midnight,
we'll ask you to count down with us.
Please count down 10 seconds with us.
To celebrate 2020 together,
every artist came up to the stage.
Please give them a round of applause.
- Goodness. - I'm so happy...
that I can spend the last day of 2019 with so many people.
Right. There's only 30 seconds left now.
I'm very nervous and excited at the same time...
that I can greet the new year with everyone.
- How do you feel, Eun Woo? - I'm also very nervous,
and I hope everyone will be happy and healthy in 2020.
And I hope everyone will fall in love.
My gosh, that's so nice of you.
We have only 10 seconds left.
Let's count down together. 10,
- 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, - 9, 8, 7, 6, 5,
- 4, 3, 2, 1. - 4, 3, 2, 1.
2020, come on!
Bring it on, the Year of the Rat!
- Happy New Year, everyone! - Happy New Year!
(Happy New Year)
All right. The new year has come.
We just wished you a happy new year, but let me wish it again.
Dear viewers,
- Happy New Year! - Happy New Year!
The special stage in Jamsil...
is filled with an excitement for the new year...
and for the stages...
that the 2019 MBC Music Festival will bring next.
I can tell that everyone's elated.
There will be a fancy performance on the special stage in Jamsil.
So hang in there a little.
Everyone, the new year is here.
Many things happened in 2019.
Let's forget the sad and bad memories.
I hope your new year will be filled with happy moments,
and I wish everyone to be healthy.
If there are dreams you couldn't realize last year,
I hope you can realize them this year.
I hope you stay happy and healthy.
Like Eun Woo said,
I hope you stay healthy,
more than anything else.
Let's wish Happy New Year one last time.
It's our third time.
Dear viewers and every artist here,
- Happy New Year! - Happy New Year!
(Happy New Year)
2020 is the Year of the Rat.
- Yes. - That's right.
Let's hear a new year's greeting from the celebrities...
who were born in the Year of the Rat.
Firstly, Young Jae of GOT7!
- Yes? - All right.
Please give greetings for the new year.
The new year...
First of all, I hope everyone here has a great year.
Yesterday, I went to Mr. Park Jin Young's concert.
I just hope everyone can keep their places...
and never falls sick.
Naturally, good things and bad things will come,
but I just hope you can keep your places. Thank you.
Please give him a round of applause.
He said the most important things.
Next, Seunghee of OH MY GIRL...
was also born in the Year of the Rat.
- Where are you, Seunghee? - Over here!
- I see. - Hi.
What's the biggest dream you want to achieve this year?
The biggest dream?
I hope no one in OH MY GIRL falls sick.
I wish every artist here...
and all of the fans take all of my luck.
Happy New Year!
Thank you. But don't you have to leave some luck for yourself?
I have a lot here.
- You don't have to worry. - You're full of love.
All right. There's someone I want to hear from.
It has only been two years since her debut.
Song Eun I of Celeb Five.
- Yes, hello! - Hello.
Please give greetings for the new year.
Right. It's been two years since my debut.
I'm the oldest member of Celeb Five. I'm Song Eun I.
The new year has come.
Looking around all of my seniors and juniors here,
I think K-pop is the best in the world!
- Of course. - In 2020,
there are many performances K-pop artists will show.
I hope they stay healthy both physically and mentally.
Stay healthy and show us many great stages!
Good luck, everyone!
Give her a round of applause!
- She's great. - Eun I's friends...
were born in the Year of the Rat.
- I see. - That was unnecessary.
All right. Happy New Year!
Okay, that was great.
Thank you for all the interviews.
Everyone, I hope you can achieve...
everything you want. I wish that again.
- Sung Kyu. - Yes?
Who are the first artists...
to perform in 2020? It's time to introduce them.
That's right. This is a very meaningful moment.
But it might be boring to just introduce them simply.
I'll describe them with a few keywords.
Why don't you two take a guess?
- Sounds good. - Sounds good.
Great.
This team is
It's nice
They're well-known for their performances,
and they're loved by people of all ages and genders.
- I got it! - Who do you think they are?
- I got it! - You're adorable.
- Who are they? - I got it.
It's MAMAMOO who showed another great performance.
- And? - I got it too.
Yes, Eun Woo?
It's SEVENTEEN who dominates the stage...
with their explosive energy.
- Am I right? - You got it.
Before we check the amazing chemistry...
between the two teams who always deliver,
we'll check out SEVENTEEN's stage first.
- Let's watch it. - Let's watch it.
("HIT" by SEVENTEEN)
("Egotistic" by SEVENTEEN, original song by MAMAMOO)
("Very Nice" by MAMAMOO, original song by SEVENTEEN)
Make some noise, everyone!
("You're the Best" and "Clap" by MAMAMOO and SEVENTEEN)
MAMAMOO and SEVENTEEN are indeed great.
I couldn't help but clap while watching their performances.
They're truly amazing.
The next stage will also leave you in awe.
I dare describe them this way.
A stage that deserves full marks in both techniques and art.
That's right.
It's a collaboration of junior and senior singers.
The next performance will overcome the prejudice...
about collaborative stages by a man and woman.
The two teams are ready to show enchanting chemistry.
It's TWICE and Taemin.
Please hold on for their performances...
that are detailed yet restrained.
Taemin who made everyone in the nation...
addicted to his song "Move"...
will showcase "Famous" for the first time in Korea.
Don't miss it!
Before that, TWICE is ready to show a very special stage.
Keep your eyes wide open and watch their performance.
TWICE, come on!
("Feel Special" and "FANCY" by TWICE)
("MOVE" and "Famous" by Taemin)
(SM Entertainment company building)
I'm nervous.
(Momo and Jihyo of TWICE visit SM Entertainment.)
I'm nervous.
I'm shaking too.
- He'll be startled. - Exactly.
Artists of JYP Entertainment are here at SM Entertainment.
He'll be like, "What are they doing here?"
(Awkwardly)
- Hello. - Gosh.
(They'll be performing with Taemin.)
We'll put on a collaborative performance,
so have you thought of a particular concept?
As you know, our group is known...
- for its cute songs. - That's right.
We agreed on wanting to showcase a different image.
Something you haven't shown before?
Meanwhile, I was hoping to do something cute...
like "TT".
- So how about "TT"? - "TT"?
(The charismatic Taemin will perform "TT"?)
This could also be fun.
How about a ballad song?
We can perform a duet...
and show off our harmony.
One of my favorite songs...
is your "Goodbye".
- Really? - Yes.
We watched your performance in awe.
("Goodbye" by Taemin with its charismatic choreography?)
(What kind of performance will Taemin, Momo, and Jihyo present?)
("Goodbye" by Taemin and Momo, Jihyo of TWICE)
My gosh. What an amazing performance.
The 2019 MBC Music Festival, The Chemistry.
It's now time for the final performance of the night.
To wish everyone an energetic new year,
we pulled out all the stops for this final performance.
- Yes. - That's right.
Bringing an electrifying performance for the entire nation to enjoy...
are Guckkasten and Song Ga In.
They will present unparalleled chemistry...
that is of a national standard.
Rock meets trot.
Also, the power trot vocalist Song Ga In gets together...
with the powerful rock vocalist Ha Hyun Woo.
I don't know if there can be a higher level of chemistry.
All we hope is that the energy of this performance...
is relayed to our viewers to kickstart a dynamic year.
The 2019 MBC Music Festival.
Leading us to the highest level of chemistry...
is the final performance of the day. Here are the artists.
(The band is busy practicing at its studio.)
(The explosive vocalist Ha Hyun Woo of Guckkasten)
(Someone heads toward the band's studio.)
- Lift it from the start. - Hello.
- Hi.
- Hello. - I'm Song Ga In.
(The Queen of Trot, Song Ga In)
- I brought a gift. - Gosh, you shouldn't have.
What's this though?
It's good for your throat.
You should all have one too.
- Thank you. - I like that sound effect.
Dried persimmons are apparently good for the throat.
- Dried persimmons? - So I hear.
The lemon ginger tea will also soothe your throat too.
Gosh, thank you for this.
I have a feeling that you like traditional food.
I do, but what gave you that feeling?
You just give off that vibe.
- Really? - Yes.
Can you read people or something?
Can you?
- Do you read palms? - I just felt that vibe from you.
Is that so?
I was curious...
because bands mostly encourage the audience to jump or sing...
so that they could enjoy the song with us.
Right, you bang your heads too...
and even spray water on them.
My audience tends to be on the older side,
so I can't spray water on them.
They don't even stand either.
That is mostly reserved for rock or hip-hop artists.
I usually excite my audience by adding exclamation words.
Things like "Eolssigu! Nice!"
- Like that? - Yes.
We'll remember to say that during our next performance.
(Rock version)
Trot singers rarely collaborate with artists of other genres.
Happy birthday
- Out of the blue? - to you
(Hyun Woo prepared a surprise birthday party for her.)
Thank you.
Please let us do well on our collaborative performance.
(What kind of performance will the master vocalists present?)
(Song Ga In)
(Guckkasten and Song Ga In)
("The Sun" by Guckkasten and Song Ga In,)
(original song by Magma)
Sing with us.
(The adorable Song Ga In)
Make some noise!
(Song Ga In)
My gosh. Guckkasten and Song Ga In...
ended the event with a passionate performance.
It was truly amazing.
We enjoyed the cover of "The Sun"...
and now it's time to wrap up the show.
The 2019 MBC Music Festival, The Chemistry.
We have brought you a show with performances...
that showcased unique collaborations,
so that you can wrap up 2019 neatly...
and enjoy the beginning of 2020.
We hope that you had a great time.
Greeting the new year with the 2019 MBC Music Festival...
has given me a surge of energy.
I feel like 2020 will be a good year for me.
I'm sure that we'll only experience luck and joy.
It's happy time!
We hope that your new year will be filled with hope.
So here's where we say goodbye.
We thank everyone who has stayed with us...
until this late hour.
Let's all say it together then.
Everybody,
- happy New Year! - Happy New Year!
