“Hurry up and give me the clip-on!”
Even after the ‘1st THE AWARDS’ where all the K-pop stars gathered has come to a close, their popularity continues to grow, with related videos and ‘shorts’ flooding YouTube and social media.
Although the awards ceremony was exclusively broadcast on Channel A at 10:30 PM on the same day, it doesn‘t seem to be satisfying the fans. The official SNS and YouTube channels of ‘THE AWARDS’ and Channel A are flooded with comments from fans who “want to feel the excitement again, as well as from audiences who have already enjoyed the performance with their whole body. Requesting clip-ons of the awards ceremony, ‘shorts’, and full-version videos are flooding in.

Among the ‘performance videos’ that K-pop fans have been waiting for, the ‘ending restaurant’ Enhypen’s ending stage is definitely the best.

To repay the support of fans, Enhypen went up on the last stage of the day and sang 3 songs in a row, ‘Daydream’, ‘No Doubt’, ‘Scream’. The charismatic eyes of the 7 members appearing through the large electronic screen, and their experience in freely moving around the stage and communicating with the audience on the spot were fully revealed.
