Hello.

Welcome to 2018 SBS Gayo Daejeon_Music Festival.

I'm your host Jun Hyun Moo. It's nice to meet you all.

Hello. I'm Cho Bo Ah.

Bo Ah, it's an honor to co-host this ceremony with you.

Oh, my. The honor is mine.

I feel so relieved that Hyun Moo, whom we all trust,

- is my co-host. - Right.

Please help me do well today.

It's an honor to co-host the ceremony with Bo Ah,

but also, it's hard to believe...

that all the idol singers, who are dominating the world...

as well as Korea,

are standing on the same stage.

I've seen a lot of awards ceremonies...

and hosted many of them,

but I've never seen all the top stars gathering like this.

We invited all the idol stars you love...

and the whole world is crazy about.

All of them are here.

You're watching 2018 SBS Gayo Daejeon_Music Festival...

with the biggest lineup in history.

First of all, the star who gave a fantastic opening performance,

Yu Gyeom of GOT7!

It was amazing. Where is he?

He's such a great dancer.

Now...

They're wearing red outfits. Wanna One!

You guys look great.

BTS!

And I'm sure...

that you agree that they're the top three girl groups in Korea.

TWICE! Where are they?

All right. TWICE.

BLACKPINK!

Great.

BLACKPINK. There are so many singers on the stage...

that it's hard to find each of them.

Red Velvet!

Oh, they were over there.

EXO!

All right. Many other singers...

are also here with us.

The biggest lineup in history is amazing as itself,

but also, you will see these world-famous idol singers'...

performances you've never seen before.

And the singers will perform songs in genres...

they've never gotten a chance to try before.

All of the popular K-pop stars gathered here, right?

I still can't believe I'm here.

It's too soon to be surprised.

We're going to sum up the trends of K-pop...

with the stars who set new records...

in foreign countries as well as in Korea.

We're also going to see dazzling performances...

of the stars, who lead K-pop's glorious days in the world,

that you haven't seen anywhere else before.

We will also see special performances...

that put the past, present, and the future...

of the Korean Wave together, which you can't see anywhere else.

That's right.

Anyone who loves K-pop can join us.

Everyone.

Are you ready to have fun?

- Yes! - Yes!

Are you ready to have fun?

- Yes! - Yes!

Then we're going to begin 2018 SBS Gayo Daejeon_Music Festival,

in earnest.

2018 SBS Gayo Daejeon_Music Festival,

- The Wave. - The Wave.

How did we feel when we made our debut?

- It's unforgettable. - I was so nervous...

that I couldn't speak clearly.

It felt like a dream.

That's right.

I wasn't nervous.

What do you think is the color or image of our group?

I think our group members are all heart-stopping boys.

I beg to differ.

I think our color is transparent.

I think each of the nine members has a different color.

Then should we say we have rainbow colors?

- Uniqueness. - Originality.

A monstrous rookie.

- My goodness. - She just said it by herself.

How do you feel about performing at the music awards for the first time?

There must be a huge stage.

I really wanted to perform there.

This is surreal.

I feel honored.

I'm excited.

Say a word.

You'll see why we won the best newcomer award four times,

and why we're called a monstrous rookie.

We'll show you.

I can do it. You can do it. We can do it.

Let's shock the world.

Come on, everyone. Silence.

It's our turn.

Let's go!

- Let's go! - Let's go!

("New Wave", performed by THE BOYZ, Stray Kids, (G)I-DLE)

I-DLE)

My, that was amazing.

2018 SBS Gayo Daejeon_Music Festival...

has begun.

We started off with an incredible performance, right?

Indeed. From Stray Kids and (G)I-DLE to THE BOYZ,

the rookies who made their debut less than a year ago performed.

Please pay attention to the new wave,

the future of the Korean Wave, that they'll lead from now on.

That's right. K-pop is not popular only in Korea.

It's dominating the world.

What do you think made it possible?

Well, it must be the addictive melodies...

and the eye-catching performances.

You're right. The songs are great,

and the performances are the world's best.

- Absolutely. - So...

with such great performances and melodies,

some singers have overcome language barriers, right?

Yes. GFRIEND whose performances show their unexpected charms...

prepared a very special performance for this ceremony.

I can hear the male fans cheering already.

And I'm excited about this group's performance.

Depending on how they combine members,

the group comes up with a new concept and performance.

I'm looking forward to their activities for next year.

We're going to see NCT's performance.

I'm excited to see their performance as always.

You can easily see...

how popular K-pop is through dance cover videos...

made by fans across the world.

This group's music video and dance practice videos...

became very popular in foreign countries.

This group has been unusually energetic this year.

I think I know what group you're talking about.

The group has become a rising Korean Wave star.

We'll see MOMOLAND's performance now.

2018 SBS Gayo Daejeon_Music Festival,

NCT, "Black on Black"!

("Time for the Moon Night" by GFRIEND)

Listening to GFRIEND's "Christmas Present"...

made the fact that today is Christmas feel real.

They changed the lyrics in a witty way.

They changed the lyrics of their song "Sunny Summer"...

and gave a lovely performance.

Today is Christmas.

Performances like Christmas gifts will continue.

This group will melt your heart with their romantic song,

the hitmaker, BTOB, will give a performance.

And another group will perform. EXO's...

special performance will also be revealed.

Wait. Have you ever heard the word "newtro"?

"Newtro"? Of course.

It's a new word made by combining "new" and "retro".

It means a new style inspired by retro style.

That is correct.

You will see a newtro performance...

that combines the past and the present of K-pop.

The idol groups who are leading the Korean Wave...

reinterpret the songs of the singers...

who made them dream of becoming a singer...

and perform the songs in 2018 style.

MONSTA X.

- Who else? - SEVENTEEN.

SEVENTEEN.

- And Wanna One. - Wanna One.

And Red Velvet and TWICE.

We're going to see newtro performances...

given by the popular idol groups of 2018.
