00:00 hanging out with some kings at the 2023 MAMA Awards.
00:03 ZeroBaseOne, you guys won last night.
00:05 How did that feel?
00:07 - So nice to see you again.
00:08 - Good to see you.
00:09 - We didn't expect, like, we were so grateful
00:12 to receive both awards, so we feel amazing,
00:16 and we really, everything, we owe everything to Zeros,
00:19 and hopefully today we can get a third award, hopefully.
00:24 Yes.
00:26 - Well, hopefully you do,
00:27 and you were talking about your fans.
00:28 I mean, I remember at KCON,
00:30 they were some of the most passionate fans
00:31 I've seen in K-pop.
00:33 So what is that connection like, having it with your fans?
00:36 - I think our connection is very deep,
00:38 because starting from Boys Planet,
00:40 they've seen us through our ups and downs,
00:43 and we're here because of Zeros and StarCaders,
00:47 and so I'd say from the very beginning until now,
00:51 they've been with us, so we have a very
00:53 lovely, deep connection, yeah.
00:57 - And then this show specifically is also very special.
01:00 So how's it feel to perform at it
01:01 and be nominated at the MAMA Awards?
01:03 - Yeah, 'cause since middle school,
01:05 watching all these so many legendary MAMA stages,
01:08 - Oh, that's awesome.
01:09 - We've always been, like, dreaming of us
01:11 being on the stage, and we just can't imagine
01:14 that it came so fast, and we'll try our best
01:18 to get a step closer to our dreams in here, in the stage.
01:23 - Man, that's amazing.
01:24 You guys are killing it, so don't even think about that.
01:27 - And then 2023 was a very big year for music,
01:29 so tell me, what was one of your favorite moments
01:31 in music this year?
01:32 (speaking in foreign language)
01:37 (speaking in foreign language)
01:41 - Well, I am really happy for you guys.
01:59 Have so much fun tonight at the awards.
02:02 - Yes, thank you.
