The 13-member K-pop boy group SEVENTEEN was one of the biggest highlights of the year-end award ceremony, MAMA 2023.

The youngest member, Woonhak, initiated the discussion by saying that he learned a lot and felt various emotions during MAMA 2023, thanks to SEVENTEEN.
"Especially today when SEVENTEEN sunbaenim got their Grand Prize and did their acceptance speech, I really almost cried. They were so cool. Really, me and Jaaehyun-hyung kept saying they were cool," Woonhak said.
To this, Sungho added,
"But really, I don't know how much was shown on live broadcast but when SEVENTEEN was performing, they did that comment during the stage right? "Artists, audiences, please all stand up", and we all stood up then and had so much fun and enjoyed for real."
Sungho said that he felt SEVENTEEN were truly admirable every time he watched them perform. He also shared that he wants to make a similar impact in the future. Other members also agreed with these opinions and shared that their speech strengthened them and that their words gave them much hope.
The group's leader, Jaehyun, also added that SEVENTEEN personally talked to the group about BOYNEXTDOOR's future.
"We sat beside them right, and what they said was, "It's important how far you go." They're really anticipating how BOYNEXTDOOR will be in the future. We have to go until the end."
They ended their talk about SEVENTEEN by congratulating the group on their first MAMA daesang and promising they'd follow in their footsteps as their juniors.
