2015 Mnet Asian Music Awards is being aired simultaneously on all networks.

- We will now start the red carpet show. - Yes.

Should we meet the first star of the red carpet?

Yes, they were top idols in 2015, weren't they?

It's Seventeen, who debuted this year.

Their musical impact was a given.

The 13 members are all gifted and

talented.

And they received a lot of love after

their debut.

They were the only Asian singers

chosen by Billboard.

They were selected

for "2015, 21 Under 21".

I hear that they have prepared a special

performance for the MAMA 2015 Red Carpet.

Let's join Seventeen for

that performance.

The world's biggest electronic pop band,

Pet Shop Boys.

The rising stars

of electronic music, f(x).

They come together,

crossing 23 years between them.

The most fantastic performance in

MAMA's history.

Coming up next.

We are live from Hong Kong at the Asian World Expo.

2015 Mnet Asian Music Awards, Red Carpet.

We got things heated up with Seventeen's performance.

We still have lots coming up, so please keep your channels locked.

Yes, things are heating up here on site.

Now let's keep that going and meet the red carpet stars.

Once the stars make their entrance, please vote on MAMA 2015's official site.

We are airing live in six countries and broadcasting in five continents.

You can access it from all over the world.

I am curious about who will brighten up this stage with their presence.

Yes, you are right.

Who will be the first star? I am very curious.

Who do you want it to be?

Well, I... there are so many,

I just can't choose.

While we were discussing it,

a star has appeared on the red carpet.

Who could it be?

They are wearing a vibrant red.

You could say that they are a

monster new group.

Yes, yes.

It is MONSTA X making their way in.

They look so handsome.

MONSTA X.

Yes.

Yes.

They look very cool. Yes.

What kind of group is MONSTA X?

MONSTA X was on Mnet's 2014 survival

program "No Mercy"

where seven members were selected.

They are a new group with a concept of

rebellion and chic charisma.

Yes, their style today is, indeed,

very chic.

They are a fierce new group that is not

lacking for looks, visuals, or talent.

That is true.

In fact, they have been nominated for

MAMA 2015's Best New Male Artist.

Will they be able to experience the honor

of winning an award you can only win once?

Let us wait and see.

Yes.

Just like their name MONSTA X,

their performances are so amazing.

They have a strong sense

of fashion, as well.

It's a combination of black and red.

I think their clothes look great.

Honestly, it's not easy to pull off red

on a red carpet.

Yes, of course.

But they pulled it off so well.

How did I do?

You, Z.HERA?

Yes.

Z.HERA, you look like dim sum.

That was my concept today.

Because it is Hong Kong.

Ah, Dim sum was your concept?

Dim sum was your concept?

Yes, like dim sum.

What was your concept, Shin Ah Young?

Since it was a MAMA red carpet event,

I was going for a luxurious home curtain.

Luxurious home curtain. I like that.

Red carpet with a luxurious curtain.

MONSTA X is headed up to the stage right now.

- Should we get them up here? - Hello.

Right into the middle, please.

Please stand in the middle. Nice to see you.

The stage is quite full now.

I hear that this is your first year at MAMA.

How do you feel being here in 2015?

We just feel so nervous and excited.

But it does feel like a great opportunity to get our name, MONSTA X, out there.

So we want to show everyone what kind of group we are today.

That sounds good.

MONSTA X received a lot of love upon your debut.

I think 2015 must have been a special year for you guys.

How was it?

Because of the amount of interest we had coming our way

we ended up busying ourselves and worked a lot harder.

Yes. Thank you all for the interest.

MONSTA X is a nominee for the Best New Male Artist this year.

So, do you think you will win today or not?

What is your feeling on this?

- That's a very tough question. - Yes, yes.

- I don't think that we will, but... - Oh, why not?

Perhaps, things could change if we work hard on our performance today.

- That's what I think. - What do you think? Will you win?

I think we will.

Wow, that was very cool. You were very sure of yourself.

I do hope that you win the award.

Yes, we heard that you have prepared something special for MAMA Red Carpet.

Please give us a small hint.

- Yes. - Okay.

For the red carpet crowd, we have prepared a special show.

It is a special performance.

Oh, I see.

That was MONSTA X, nominees for the Best New Male Artist.

We will see you later at the main event.

- I'm looking forward to it. - Thank you.

You can head this way.

Yes, yes. Take that down.

He was going to give me his mic.

You were going to use two.

- I was about to take the mic too. - Oh really?

Oh, it's that way!

That was MONSTA X, everyone.
