- What do you think love is? - What do you think love is?

I think love is the process of becoming...

an inseparable part of each other's lives.

I think love is understanding and cherishing each other.

Love? My wife.

Being each other's number-one cheerleader, no matter what.

What do you think love is?

- What do you think? - Hey, what's with you?

Love makes you smile. That's what I think.

Even when you're exhausted or stressed out about something,

it energizes you and makes you smile.

Something I want to experience?

I've never been in love, so I really...

I really want to experience it.

I think it brings you good energy.

This is how I'd define love.

"Becoming you."

It's not only for people, you know.

It could be music too.

Becoming the thing that you love.

Love is...

When I think of love, my cats, Soonie, Doongie, and Dori, come to mind.

As soon as I get home,

all three of them greet me with "Meow."

"As if there's no tomorrow."

Squeeze everything out of you. Give it your best.

Give them your everything.

"As if there's no tomorrow."

"Leave no regrets."

Love isn't something you can see, you know.

You need to express it as much as you can...

- for the other person to feel it. - That's right.

Sweetheart!

I love you so much!

Baby deer. Baby bunny.

I love you!

You're so cute!

- I love you - I love you

- Hold your breath, love dive - Hold your breath, love dive

Love is an open door

The moment when love begins.

The moment when we become one through music.

("Love Never Felt So Good" by Lim Yoon A and Lee Jun Ho)

Hello.

The 2022 MBC Music Festival, With Love.

I've been in love with MBC Music Festival for eight years.

I'm your host, Lim Yoon A.

Just like last year, I'm back as one of the cohosts of the show.

I'm Lee Jun Ho. It's good to be here.

Hello. The man MBC Music Festival loves.

The man who loves K-pop. I'm Jang Sung Kyu!

Their performance last year gained over ten million views.

These two talented artists truly shine when they're performing on stage.

They opened the show with their sweet joint performance.

Honestly, you two. You're so charming.

Everyone in the audience...

is already so in love with you two.

When the news broke out that Jun Ho and I...

would be cohosting the show again, so many people said...

they wanted to see us perform together again.

The video of our performance last year...

- has surpassed ten million views, - That's right.

so we had a hard time figuring out what kind of performance we should do.

- You guys are the best. - Thank you.

That's right. Even choosing which song to perform was so hard.

This year, the show's theme is...

"With Love," as you know.

So we chose a love song by Michael Jackson,

one of the most beloved artists in the history of pop music.

Sung Kyu, did you enjoy our performance?

Of course, I did. It made me feel so good.

- Thank you. - It was amazing.

- Thank you. - The opening of the show...

couldn't have been better.

Right, guys?

- Yes! - Yes!

All right. Their performance filled the stage with sweetness.

Feeling the sweetness in our hearts, shall we now get started?

Sounds good. As we mentioned earlier,

everyone around the globe needed love more than ever this year.

Hoping we could be united through the power of music and love,

we chose "With Love" as the theme for this year's MBC Music Festival.

That's right. That being said,

I'd like to let you know...

that we'll all become one...

through MBC Music Festival today.

The lineup of artists includes...

internationally famous idol groups, of course.

From hip-hop, ballads, and trot to classical music,

you'll hear every music genre that exists.

We have prepared lots of exciting things, from special joint performances...

that generated a lot of buzz even before the show...

to performances that have never been done anywhere else.

So we hope the show can make your entire family gather around...

and feel the love while listening to some good music.

Yes, the show is being brought to you live from the MBC Ilsan Dream Center.

The 2022 MBC Music Festival.

Shall we now meet the first performers,

who will make your heart skip a beat?

Yes, it's already so amazing.

The groups loved by K-pop fans around the globe,

IVE, THE BOYZ, and ATEEZ,

will perform a sweet love song,

which is perfect for our theme, "With Love."

And stay tuned...

for THE BOYZ and ATEEZ's first joint performance ever.

I hear this performance...

will actually be pretty sweet.

Shall we watch the performance now?

- Before that, - Yes.

why don't we meet our cute lionesses, IVE, first?

- The 2022 MBC Music Festival, With Love. - With Love.

("Intro" and "Lion Heart" by IVE, original song by Girls' Generation)

("As I Told You" by Hong Joong and Min Gi of ATEEZ, original song by Kim Sung Jae)

("Love Light" by Sang Yeon, Young Hoon, Hyun Jae, NEW of THE BOYZ)

" by THE BOYZ and ATEEZ, original song by Post Malone)

Yes. From their vocals and performances...

to their looks, you can't help but fall in love with them.

- They were such perfect performances. - That's right.

Yoon A looked so excited...

during IVE's performance of "Lion Heart."

Yoon A, I thought you'd go up on stage and join them right away.

Yes, it was really hard to hold myself back.

This year, Girls' Generation reunited to celebrate our 15th anniversary.

That's why the Girls' Generation DNA in me...

is still very much alive.

Also, I was so excited because it was the first song.

But we don't want to let Yoon A off the hook like this, do we?

Guys. Do you want to see the original "Lion Heart?"

- Do you all want to see it? - Yes.

Great. If that's the case...

Then why don't I sing the song?

Sounds good. Let's do this.

- Do the ending pose too. Let's go. - One, two.

Tell me why

Why do you keep changing your mind?

I'm here, right by your side

Snap out of it, lion heart

Oh, my.

- Yes! Nice, Yoon A. - She never disappoints.

Nice.

- Up and down. - Girls' Generation's center member...

has still got it.

Now, come back to being the host of MBC Music Festival...

and introduce the next stage.

Sure. The next performers...

are the hottest rookies of 2022,

who will receive even more love in 2023.

I hear TEMPEST and Kep1er...

- prepared a joint performance as well. - That's right.

"We'll be engraved in your heart."

That's the meaning behind the name, STEMp1er,

which the two groups came up with for their joint performance.

Please look forward to their performance.

Why don't we meet CLASS:y first?

- Rookies. With Love. - With Love.

(Preparations for the 2022 MBC Music Festival are in full swing.)

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - My gosh.

(Kep1er and TEMPEST prepared a joint performance.)

You've been practicing a lot, right?

- Yes. - We've been practicing hard.

- We've been practicing hard too. - Why don't we try it together?

Shall we rehearse together?

- Yes! - Sure, sounds good.

Hold on, guys.

- Okay! - Okay!

- Oh, it's here. - Where are you going?

- Hold on. - What's going on?

- What is it? - Where are they going?

- Everyone, fried chicken is here! - Yes!

Fried chicken!

Because we knew Kep1er would be here to practice with us today,

we ordered some fried chicken to surprise you ladies.

Thank you.

Open the app and select "Delivery."

All right. Let's order some food now.

- Thank you for the food. - Enjoy!

- Thank you for the food. - Enjoy!

I ordered boneless chicken.

- Looks good. - Delicious fried chicken

- Oh, it's good. - This one?

- Hey, this is really good. - What is this?

This one is so good!

- This is good. - It's tasty.

Which one is it? This one?

- It's good. - Have you tried this?

It's amazing that we can eat roast chicken and fried chicken at the same time.

The roast chicken is really good.

We got together today...
