00:00 at the 2023 MAMA Awards,
00:01 hanging out with some of my favorite fellas.
00:03 I gotta do it.
00:04 Seventeen right here!
00:05 (cheering)
00:07 Man, I'm so excited to see you guys.
00:09 You guys hit number two on the Billboard 200
00:12 with "17th Heaven."
00:13 How does it feel that your music is still killing it?
00:16 - Wow.
00:17 - Verne?
00:18 - We're just so happy that everyone's enjoying our music,
00:21 and we just can't wait to perform them right now.
00:23 - Yes.
00:24 - And what made you feel it was different than FML?
00:27 - What made us feel different from FML?
00:30 Well, this time our title,
00:33 the title of our song is "God of Music,"
00:35 and it has a really festive vibe.
00:37 So it's all about enjoying the music all together as one,
00:41 and we hope to bring that vibe today at the stage as well.
00:43 - Oh, I can't wait.
00:44 Well, the music video was super sick.
00:46 Hoshi, you with the donkey?
00:48 That was wild.
00:49 So tell me, what was your favorite part
00:51 about filming the music video?
00:52 - Maybe donkey?
00:53 (laughing)
00:55 - The donkey.
00:55 - Donkey.
00:56 (speaking in foreign language)
00:59 - The donkey was really, really nice.
01:00 - Yeah.
01:01 - Yes, yes.
01:02 - And then also, you guys are bringing the city to Japan.
01:04 So tell me about how that's gonna be bigger than ever.
01:06 It's a whole carnival with your fans.
01:08 - Yeah.
01:09 So we're really excited to open the city in Japan.
01:13 Hopefully a lot of our carrots come through,
01:15 'cause we're preparing a lot for that,
01:17 and there's a lot to look forward to, so yes.
01:20 - And then last night, I was a big fan in the audience.
01:22 When you guys won, I was screaming.
01:24 I'm like, "Yeah!"
01:25 - Wow.
01:26 How does it feel to win at the MAMA Awards?
01:28 - We're really excited also.
01:29 We got the Fans' Choice Awards.
01:31 It was such an honor, and obviously,
01:33 it was because all of our fans chose us.
01:36 So we just wanna make it up to them
01:38 through our performances and music,
01:39 and we really wanna show them what we got today on stage.
01:43 - Well, speaking of showing what you got,
01:45 I can't wait for the stage.
01:46 What can we expect?
01:47 Mingyu's over here making me feel short.
01:48 Mingyu, what's gonna happen at the performance tonight?
01:51 (speaking in foreign language)
