Even though the 2022 MAMA Awards aren't over yet, they have already given K-Pop fans many memorable moments, like Stray Kids' performance and the stage where 4th generation girl groups worked together.

There were also a lot of idols who went viral on their own. IVE's Gaeul, TREASURE's Yoshi, and Stray Kids' Felix all made the Internet go crazy with their crazy visuals.

But even on the first day of the awards show, there was a lot to like, and many audiences have had mixed feelings, if not outright complaints, about the show.

Fans and viewers have been very worried about the camerawork during the ceremony in particular.

Even though it was easy to tell that the performances were good, many people were frustrated that the style of filming didn't let them see the performances up close.

Instead of focusing on the artists, the camera zoomed out and moved over the audience or the stage.

Fans of LE SSERAFIM, for example, felt like they missed a lot of the group's performance, which is a shame because LE SSERAFIM is known for their high-quality performances and even won an award for them at the 2022 Melon Music Awards.

Netizens also said that this is unfair to the artists, who put in a lot of work to make the best show possible, but many people didn't get to see it. Some people thought that, among other things, this made the MAMAs this year feel a bit rushed.

MOAs says that Mnet could even learn something from TXT's Beomgyu! Fans now hope that on day two, they will be able to see the artists and their performance better.

Ahn Yujin of IVE recently shared an incredibly sweet story about giving her father a special gift, all thanks to her experiences on a variety show.

On May 2, Ahn Yujin appeared on the YouTube channel Channel Fifteen Night during a spring outing with PD Na Young Seok, which was part of the Earth Arcade variety show. During the outing, Ahn Yujin grabbed attention when she got into a Mercedes-Benz car. PD Na Young Seok made a lighthearted comment, saying, "My wife also drives a Mercedes. This one is just the chubbier version of that car."

It turns out that Ahn Yujin had recently passed her driving test and had her first driving experience on the Earth Arcade spin-off Jiraki’s Ttitti Bang Bang. In a later episode of Earth Arcade 3, she even took first place in a parking challenge, which helped boost her popularity even more.

Her driving scenes, especially in the Mercedes-Benz, grabbed the spotlight, with Na PD revealing that the car brand reached out to the show afterward.

Ahn Yujin then shared an emotional story: "My father watched that episode and said he wanted to drive the same model of car," she said. "So, I changed his car for him. A Mercedes!" Her heartfelt gesture left the other cast members amazed.

Born in 2003, Ahn Yujin has been making waves as the leader of IVE, one of the most popular K-pop groups. Known for her stunning looks, powerful vocals, impressive performances, and versatile variety skills, she continues to prove herself as an all-around idol with extraordinary talent.
