Mnet ‘Live Wire’ presented a fantastic stage created by the musical connection between artists, giving the audience a moment of genuine empathy and healing.

The third episode of Mnet ‘Live Wire’, which aired on the 4th, featured band N.Flying, Ozone X Kardgarden, Jannabi, and Hanroro.Under the cheerful hosting of the two MCs Jung Jae-hyung and Code Kunst, the artists showed off their ‘separate yet together’ charms, giving the audience an unforgettable musical experience.

N.Flying, who appeared as the first guests that day, sang “Blue Moon” and drew a hot response from the audience.When Jung Jae-hyung introduced, “This is the first ‘Blue Moon’ stage that all five of us have performed as a full group,” Lee Seung-hyeop explained, “Members Kim Jae-hyun, Cha Hoon, and Seo Dong-sung were discharged not long ago.” Code Kunst praised their warmth, saying, “It takes two years after discharge to recover, but I had no idea.”

Yoo Hwe-seung said, “This is my 10th debut anniversary.’Rooftop’ became popular after it made a comeback, and now ‘Blue Moon’ has also made a comeback.” Code Kunst was surprised and said, “I thought a comeback was a once in a lifetime opportunity, but it happened twice?” Lee Seung-hyeop said,“ ‘Blue Moon’ made a comeback thanks to the attention I got from playing the role of Baek In-hyeok in ‘Seonjae Up and Run’.”

Afterwards, N.Flying, who performed the new song ‘Eternal Snow’, nominated Ozone X Kardgarden as artists they want to see.Kim Jae-hyun, who saw Ozone X Kardgarden, who garnered attention by singing ‘Big Bird’, said, “(On variety shows)they are so cheerful, but when they make music, their serious image is a ‘real’ contrasting charm.I nominated them because I thought it would be a chance to feel their sincerity on a nearby stage.”

The special relationship between the two teams was also revealed, drawing attention.Kardgarden surprised everyone by saying, “I received an offer for a drama OST, but I haven’t heard from you since.I only vaguely remembered the name ‘Seonjae’, and one day, as I was passing by a coffee shop advertised by Byun Woo-seok, a familiar song started playing.It was the OST for ‘Seonjae Up and Run’, and I met Yoo Hoe-seung, who sang the song, there.”

Next, Ozone X Kardgarden showed off their unique charm with the ‘WORLD’ stage, and right after, introduced Jannabi as “Korea’s best band.” Jannabi captivated the audience in an instant by singing ‘Have You Ever Loved?’ and ‘For Lovers Who Hesitate.’ After seeing this, Jung Jae-hyung said, “There is music that gets better as time passes.I was touched by that feeling today,” conveying his emotions.Ozone said, “It was my first time seeing an actual concert, and it was an honor to be able to see them up close,” recalling an image he saw of Jannabi at an amusement park in the past.Choi Jung-hoon said, “Did you see that scene of all things?” and confessed, “We went to an amusement park while practicing.Since it was a weekday, middle school students on a field trip chased after us and ran away,” making everyone laugh.

Jannabi also explained why they were given the nickname “Bundang Old Couple”, saying, “Usually, it’s awkward for friends to sit close together or put their arms around each other’s shoulders, but for us, it just became natural at some point.Our fans have been watching us do that for a long time, so they gave us that nickname because they thought, ‘It’s like watching a couple growing old together.’”

In particular, when it was revealed that both Kardgarden and Jannabi had something in common in that they came from Mnet’ Superstar K ‘, Jannabi made everyone burst out laughing by saying, “I thought I would become a star overnight if I went on the show.” Choi Jung-hoon said, “I think we can look forward to the next 10 years because we’ve gradually worked our way up,” and Kardgarden said, “I was greatly inspired when I saw Jannabi’s performance in the past.They are such kind, polite, and well-mannered friends, and I feel good because we met today.”

As the atmosphere became more intense, Jannabi sang ‘In the Name of Love!’ featuring Karina of aespa, and Han Roro appeared in the middle of the song to create a duet stage.Choi Jung Hoon expressed his admiration for Han Roro’s energy, saying, “It was such an honor to be able to sing with you.” In particular, Kim Do Hyung expressed his deep impression, saying, “When you listen to music, there are voices that represent an era, like Sanulrim.When I first heard Han Roro’s song, it reminded me of when I listened to Jaurim songs as a child.I think she will definitely be a voice that remembers an era.”

Han Roro, who received such a warm welcome from Jannabi, also revealed the reason he opened for Coldplay during their recent visit to Korea and the reason he received a shout out from RM.He said, “I’m so grateful that the organizers chose me unanimously,” and added, “A few years ago, I thought I’d been hacked because I got so many DMs in the middle of the night, but RM gave me a shout out.I was surprised, but also so grateful.” After that, Han Roro surprised everyone by perfectly performing the choreography for BLACKPINK’s Jennie’s solo song “Like Jennie” and saying, “I prepared for ‘Live Wire.’”

Jannabi, who watched Han Roro, who received so much love from artists, and her stage for “I Will Love You,” expressed his excitement, saying, “It’s really amazing to see you live after just listening to you.You showed me more than I expected from watching the video.” In particular, when Han Roro said she had prepared after listening to Jannabi’s song “All the Boys and Girls 1: Birdman,” and presented a poem filled with her own emotions, Jannabi was deeply touched and replied, “I will cherish it as a family heirloom for the rest of my life.” Finally, Jung Jae-hyung expressed his satisfaction, saying, “Starting with N.Flying, Ozone X Kardashian, Jannabi, and now Han Roro, it was a festival-level lineup.”

Beyond a simple stage, ‘Live Wire’, a new concept music entertainment program that connects artists and artists, audiences and audiences, and stage and viewers through ‘music’, airs simultaneously on Mnet and tvN every Friday at 7 PM.
