ENHYPEN's MAMA 2024 performances receive widespread praise online

On November 22, 2024, the 2024 MAMA Awards brought together several Korean celebrities for a star-studded evening of performances. Held in Osaka, Japan, the event featured a lineup of musical acts, including TXT, ENHYPEN, IVE, BOYNEXTDOOR, Rosé, and Bruno Mars, among others.

The evening showcased memorable performances, with ENHYPEN’s set earning widespread praise as one of the standout acts.

The group arrived on the red carpet in all-black suits. Their performance included three tracks: XO (Only If You Say Yes), Brought The Heat Back, and DAYDREAM. Notably, this marked the first time the group performed a choreographed version of DAYDREAM, surprising fans who were unaware the track had a dance routine.

The group's performance also featured unexpected highlights. Ni-ki teamed up with acclaimed choreographer Bada Lee in a special one-minute collaboration.

This moment gained additional attention due to a recently viral video of Bada Lee praising Ni-ki’s talent and strength while doing the infamous Smoke challenge together, especially considering his young age of 18.

Another surprise came during an instrumental collaboration between ENHYPEN’s Jay, TXT’s Huening Kai and Beomgyu, and ZEROBASEONE’s Taerae and Yujin. Their performance combined their instrumental skills, with Jay showcasing his guitar expertise.

Fans commended ENHYPEN for their performances, visuals, and stage presence. They took home the "Fans' Choice Award" of the year.
