Mnet‘s 30th anniversary special project, ‘Mnet 30th Anniversary Chart Show’, immediately captured the attention of viewers by delving into the behind-the-scenes stories of the legendary ‘MAMA AWARDS’ stages.

The ‘Mnet 30th Anniversary Chart Show’ that aired on the 6th revealed for the first time the greatest stages with legendary performances in history from the 1999 Video Music Awards to MMF, MKMF, and now the MAMA AWARDS, as well as the behind-the-scenes stories revealed by the artists themselves.

The broadcast that day featured Super Junior’s Leeteuk, who has maintained a long relationship with Mnet as an MC for ‘M Countdown’ from 2005 to 2008, as well as Monsta X‘s Jooheon, (G)I-DLE’s Miyeon & Shuhua, and Zero Base One‘s Sung Hanbin.

Monsta X’s Jooheon, who performed a hip-hop senior-junior collaboration stage with Dynamic Duo at the 2017 MAMA, made everyone laugh by revealing an episode about a cute fashion battle he had backstage with GOT7‘s Jackson. Next, Super Junior’s Leeteuk told a funny and sad behind-the-scenes story about how he prepared for a whole month before saying, “Super Junior is the group that is obsessed with awards” when winning the MKMF Rookie Group category in 2004.

In particular, the broadcast that day drew attention with a surprise appearance by Super Junior‘s Eunhyuk, ITZY’s Ryujin, Lee Hyori, Girls‘ Generation’s Hyoyeon, 2NE1‘s Sandara Park, and G-Dragon for the “time to explain one’s appearance.”

Super Junior‘s Eunhyuk told the story of how he came down to the stage like a crane at MAMA in 2011, and ITZY’s Ryujin shared her thoughts on challenging a live one-take action scene with actor Heo Sung-tae on a cinematic stage at MAMA in 2021.

Lee Hyori expressed her gratitude to Honey J for helping her prepare for the stage of ‘Sensual Sisters’ with ‘Street Woman Fighter’ Leaders at 2021 MAMA, and confessed that she woke up her sleeping instincts with a stretching performance when she appeared on stage. The behind-the-scenes story of how she practiced hard at an aerobics academy in Jeju to prepare for the stage was also revealed.

In addition, the secret hidden in BoA‘s stage at MKMF ‘Over the Top’ in 2005 was revealed, and Girls’ Generation‘s Hyoyeon, who was BoA’s double, shared her thoughts at the time, saying that although she was just a silhouette, she did her best until her body broke apart. 2NE1‘s Sandara Park revealed the behind-the-scenes story of how she created a secret operation reminiscent of Operation 007 in order to perform a full group stage for the first time in two years at 2015 MAMA. The thoughts on going on stage without a rehearsal for the first time in a singer’s career to maintain security, the secret project background that not only involved a secret departure but also not using the waiting room at the event venue were revealed.

The best stage of all time chosen by global viewers was GD X TAEYANG‘s ‘GOOD BOY’ at 2014 MAMA. Following BIGBANG’s stage at 2024 MAMA in second place, they added another legend by taking first place. The ‘GOOD BOY’ stage has become a hot topic with its fantastic chemistry that shines through the 14-year friendship between G-Dragon and Taeyang, and its presentation of the same choreography but different dance lines. It has surpassed 90 million views on Mnet‘s official YouTube and is approaching 100 million views. When asked if there was a memorable comment during the ‘GOOD BOY’ stage, G-Dragon said, “(In the comment section) he wrote down his to-do list for the next day as if he was making a note of it.” and “I come here every day and see that he writes like a diary and things like that are kind of fun.”

The ‘Mnet 30th Anniversary Chart Show’, which will take a look at the legendary ‘Superstar K’ stage that opened the door to next week’s national audition program, will air on Mnet on the 13th (Thursday) at 9:20 PM.&br>
