(Live): Hours after the U.S. chapter of the first day of the MAMA Awards 2024 concluded on Thursday, November 21, the K-pop festival moved to Japan.
Blackpink’s Rosé and Bruno Mars, the heart-winning and top-charting music duo behind the latest trending music hit, “APT,” earned a crowd-deafening cheer from the live audience at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka on Friday. All in all, the second day of the three-day grand concert featured beloved artists like Lee Youngji, actor Byeon Woo Seok, K-pop group IVE, Espa, Jirobesone, Tomorrow X Together and more.

The show got off to a strong start with TXT’s Yeonjun’s experimental solo debut, which eventually led to a charming collaboration from TXT’s Beomgyu and Huning Kai, Enhypen’s J, and Zerobseon’s Taere and Yujin. An unexpected array of stars came together to form a special band, TOENZE, for the big day.
