OMONA THEY DID(N&#39;T)!

THIS IS NOT A DRILL PEOPLE!
AFTER SCHOOL AND 9 MUSES CAME TO ROCK

I CAN'T CONTAIN MY EMOTIONS.

Okay I'm back and I am more calm. I have many thoughts so here we go

Bang and Diva still slap, and I'll fight anyone who disagrees with me. Still better than half of the songs that are put out now, and it still have the happy, carefree feel they always had. Diva will always be perfect for summer and Bang is THAT song that will make people want to do stuff right away.

Jungah pregnant is better and more active than I'll ever be without a human in my belly; she is glowing and looking extremely happy. Kahi, you're gorgeous and I NEED your workout routine, for god's sake, who has 2 kids and still has that rocking body, like it's the easiest thing in the world.
Bekah, OMG BEKAH. MY FIRST FEMALE BIAS AND SHE IS LOOKING STUNNING, HAPPY AND HEALTHY AND HER RAPPING STILL MAKES ME HYPER

9Muses, I am extremely disappointed we didn't have a full on concert from them, I would pay actual money to see them perform all of their singles over and over again. Still one of those groups I will NEVER understand why they didn't have the fame they deserve, their songs are still iconic and will be forever. Yes I know Dolls isn't an Omona favorite, but these women can sing the ABC and I'll scream YES QUEEN!
Euaerin will forever be one of my favorite girl groups rappers; once she was given the rapper position it was the best thing they could have done for the group. Hyuna is a flawless queen, but what else is new, lets be honest. She doens't age, she's a vampire.
I am just a bit sad Sera wasn't here, but I wonder if she's still scared to perform live like this...

Anyways, I've a lot more to say but I don't want to write an even bigger comment.

I AM JUST TOO HAPPY OKAY

please go ahead and fan it out! I had so many reactions and comments watching the livestream and it's a pity the YouTube uploads don't show the before/after performance or the reactions

From:

when it comes to After School and 9Muses I can never control myself xD

they are what I would look up to as in what I wanted to be as a woman (except for diets). if Brown Eyed Girls were here, my mind would have exploded. They always showed me it was okay to be confident in your skin and just be happy, so their reunion gives me more feelings

From:

Bekah looked so good! They all looked so good!!!

From:

Bekah looks so healthy, happy and straight up gorgeous

From:

I was so hyped about it since they started talking about it. I can't believe I livestreamed it when I don't usually do these things. I loved the focus on 2nd gen and glad that there were YouTube uploads of the performance because the livestream was choppy and too many reaction shots. Was hoping Chaeyeon Yoojung and Somi did more though. kudos to JaeJae and team for bringing this all and spending the budget on it, her influence is amazing.

After School: this was the highlight for me and they were given 2 songs befitting of their status and everyone's expectations. glad Raina got quite a bit of parts here. I used to be happy Nana and Lizzy got the rap parts because they were underutilised, but Bekah performing made me realise how impactful her raps were and it's a different level from when the others covered her parts. also Jungah shining here even 5 months pregnant. And how is Kahi turning 41 this year?? She is absolutely stunning and standing out here. I don't care about the cleanness of the dance and the camera angles were helpful, but you could see that they were struggling with their panting during the ment.

the tribute from the P101 contestants were nice. it was pretty emotional during the ment and after their performances, I felt that especially since they were the only group here that I followed when I came into kpop. so glad SBS brought Kahi and Bekah on a flight to Korea for this.

Oh My Girl: Closer is my favourite song from them, and it holds quite a special meaning because it was the only song I liked from them before they hit it big with Secret Garden. the performance was a little dull since they added nothing new. will never not laugh at Arin's starting part since she goes from soft singing to hard dancing in a split second.

Nine Muses: they went with suits, which was nice! Minha and Hyuna looking really good here too. can't say much because I only got to know of them when they were 4 but the possibility of further activities is hyping me up.

Carnival/Chained Up: JaeJae's Carnival reminds me of those award shows performance where the host would do something. it was cute, and I'm glad it was a short one because JaeJae's voice was hella autotuned and her specialty is more in hosting.
Yena given the shine here in Chained Up. solo when Yuehua?? I also love how JaeJae brought the Girls High School Mystery Class gang together for this.

2PM: JunK and Wooyoung sounded rough, they're the vocalists right? I felt Junho and Taecyeon were the only standouts here, they should have focused more on them. can't believe I only saw the light in Junho after he entered the army.

From:

Closer is my fav OMG song too! It's so good. I wish they'd do another song like that.

I think Jun.k and Junho are the vocalists. Junho has a lot more singing parts than Wooyoung and has sung choruses/pre-choruses.

From:

Closer made me feel so emotional omg

Dolls was my first official 9M comeback so it will ALWAYS hold a very special place in my heart. I'm so glad we got to see an official performance, even if I wish more of the girls were there?? Keumjo and Sojin/GaBin did great in covering parts tho

ETA: And After School!!! Can't believe they got Pregnant Jungah and BEKAH to be here! I wish Nana could've too 😭

But I'm very pleased with my girls, all of them

I wonder why nana and uee weren't involved?

From:

juhli.livejournal.com

Nana has other schedules, Kahi posted a pic aith Nana on her IG explaining

From:

Ahh now that you mention it, I think I remember she's filming a drama or something?

From:

pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com

where can i watch the whole show? i just watched this show last week and i thought this is a youtube show. but do they also have it on tv or something?

From:

they aired it after Penthouse earlier today, which was scheduled at 1130pm KST (but started at 1145pm after all the ads) and ended around 1.5hours later? so if you have SBS in your country you might be able to watch it?

it's a YouTube show, but for their yearly special they had it as a concert and on SBS channels. they had a special concert last year too with T-ara, U-kiss, Gain, Teen Top but I'm not sure if they streamed it on TV last year since MMTG only got big internationally after that.

From:

pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com

i hope kshowonline or something like that will upload it then bc i don't have sbs

From:

yea they might! or you can troll through the #mmtg hashtag on twitter to see if anyone has the full episode.

also oops at my typo, it was Narsha instead of Gain last year

From:

kyungwons.livejournal.com

queens!! dolls isnt my favourite 9muses song but i do still think it was a nice choice for them, they all looked amazing. diva is soooo good i felt so hyped watching it the stage presence these women still have is phenomenal i love bekah's raps so much!! and jooyeon in her mickey mouse headband 💕

2pm are so lacklustre in comparison lmao and i say that as someone whose looking forward to their comeback (for taecyeon and junho only). if junk is still leading the vocals in their new song he better be lip syncing in performances i never much liked his voice but its definitely got weaker too.

From:

like I appreciated 2PM for singing live because the other groups didn't feel like they were live, but it was not a good ending stage. the only excuse I can accept is that they're preparing for their comeback, but these men are not doing very well as compared to some of the ladies who are mums.

diva's intro will always get me, I love my boy~~

From:

kyungwons.livejournal.com

to be fair the vocals arent super tragic or anything (but its not really a vocally challenging song either lol) it was mostly the adlibs at the end that sounded bad but that was kind of the last impression of the performance so it was a bit :/

they definitely lack in effort and polish in comparison to the women here but what's new men can always coast where women have to put in more effort

From:

let's not forget, Jungah has a human being in her belly and she danced like it was the easiest thing in the world, and AS dances are not easy

From:

NINE MUSEEEEES
I wish they got a second song to perform but I love Dolls and it's a good pick for a summer song! (Even though I would have picked Hurt Locker if I could but... that's ok).
I'll never stopped being mad at their company. Both (regular) line ups had AMAZING runs of songs and deserved SO MUCH MORE but with that company, they were doomed from the start. Fucking insane.

Also AFTER SCHOOL
You tell me Jungah is PREGNANT?!! Holy shit
Also Bekah omg it's so nice to see her again!
They did super well!

I wish 2PM would have gone full nostalgia with 10 out of 10 or another of their old singles, especially for a show finale ; the song and performance they picked lacked intensity. But hey at least they were live and not hiding behind a backing track, so props to them!

Yena better be promoted right, she's super talented. Or maybe I'm just biased idk.

Can this show become a recurring thing?
I nominate Rainbow, Dal Shabet, Girl's Day, Infinite... and so many others! Obviously comebacks are better but they all have their different lives, a simple one-off performance sounds ideal

From:

Yess to Infinite!!

From:

broadcities.livejournal.com

yess to alll the groups you mentioned!! pleaaase let infinite perform be mine i've been obsessed with that song lately. and sistar!!

(and let 9muses return to perform hurt locker)

From:

Rainbow 😭

From:

would love for the groups mentioned to be featured. I guess we can hope JaeJae loves one of these groups to make it happen

From:

tsubaki874.livejournal.com

I know Bekah is a good Christian woman but dear lord I would love to be crushed by her thighs. All the girls look incredible especially Jungah that baby glow!!! I know we all have our opinions about Kahi, but she really is that bitch to me idc

NAMYUUUUUUU OMG I MISS MY GIRLS SO MUCH THEY WERE SO CUUUTE!!!!

JaeJae sounds kinda hot in ChainedUp 😳😳

From:

we all have our opinions about Kahi, but she really is that bitch to me idc

She IS that bitch, and she shines every time she is on stage, she was born to perform

From:

they did NOT come to play, woooow

absolutely insane, they still have it!

honestly, a wish coming true

After School cried backstage after their performance ;____; They still got it. Kahi has just one hell of a stage presence, you don't see that often in Kpop. Jungah did THAT while PREGNANT!!!!!

Nine Muses legit looked like they never stopped promoting, get them back on music shows asap!

I couldn't stop smiling during 2PM's performance, god damn finally hot ass GROWN UP MEN that I can thirst after 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Eventhough Taec looked like he wanted to be somewhere else lol but damn I can't wait for their comeback.

From:

mortkero.livejournal.com

I also felt Taecyeon wasn't that into it, he seemed a bit amused to be there and wasn't giving it his all compared to some of the other members.

From:

froggster.livejournal.com

I loved every performance, but damn the audio mixing/levels on this show were SOMETHING.

From:

skidadler.livejournal.com

There was something SUPER funky with their sound engineering. 2PM (especially Wooyoung and Minjun) sounded much better, in my opinion, in the fancam that 51K posted. Something didn't sit right with me when I watched the performance and I'm glad that it wasn't the boys themselves.

From:

mortkero.livejournal.com

Thanks for sharing, I agree that they sound a lot better here! I wonder what happened in the song production on the official video, the levels just didn't seem right.

From:

oh yea they definitely sound better here (save for the adlibs). this is a rehearsal?

From:

skidadler.livejournal.com

I think it might be one of the takes? They wore something else for the rehearsal; Wooyoung was in a t-shirt.

From:

volume1995.livejournal.com

the after school performances had me in TEARS!!!! i didn't realise I missed bekah and kahi so much!!! they're born to be performers!!! bekah looks so good and JUNGAH IS PREGNANT?!?!!? WITH HER SECOND FUCKING KID?!!!? NOT ONE OF THESE BOYS STANDS A CHANCE ANYMORE!! SHE RAISED THE BAR

From:

921227.livejournal.com

Its funny the only technical remaining member of AS wasnt there lol That said, they rocked it! AS really is a one of a kind group that had hit after hit and just never got the recognition they deserve, I'm so glad we got to see the members together again.

Kahi and Jooyeon literally look the same 10yrs later & seeing Bekah and Jungah performing after so long?? Mind blown. Raina we've obvs seen more of but it was nice seeing her perf Diva

From:

nudrive.livejournal.com

Crying over AS ;~;
I'm so happy

scribblyness-x.livejournal.com

i know people shit on the so-called 'useless' visual members but i think jupal perfectly demonstrated how ulzzangs can legit pop on stage and bring attention to a group. her visuals omg, especially during diva with her iconic mickey mouse ears.

BEKAH MY LOVE. no one did it like her, she's seriously peerless. she's such a joy to watch and her rap is 1000/10 🔥🔥🔥

idk i'm just ecstatic that after school will forever be iconic despite pledis mishandling everything they touch ;a;

(sidenote but i'm surprised they didn't censor lizzy even with her dui for the interview parts. it almost seems like during the orange caramel costume question, they showed raina and lizzy and skipped over nana completely which is a super strange choice. could be pledis fucking shit up behind the scenes again i suppose?)

jasmineakaiumi.livejournal.com

9muses is one of my fave girl groups of all time so this has me weak lmao ;_; AS is really nostalgic too aaa

From:

broadcities.livejournal.com

after school's charisma >>>>>>
loved seeing them perform bang! how bekah does it while being pregnananant makes it even more impressive — she looked amazing and like she was having sooo much fun (all of them!) especially in diva...
talking about diva: i love all after school title tracks i think but diva is suuuuuch a bop!! 오늘 밤 매일 밤 자꾸만 니 생각만 나는 그대의 Diva diva di di di diva yessss

it was really lovely seeing closer performed again, my favorite oh my girl song! they didn't really do anything special though, i also could've watched a music show performance, but i guess the song itself might not really lend itself to that. the ending shots were really cute! binnie <3

9muses is another group whose title tracks never missed SO YES CAN WE PLEASE GET A NAMYU COMEBACK NOW?? the white suits!!!! euaerin's always ICONIC rap!! can they perform wild next please?????

i never really followed 2pm so i never really was into my house - i don't know what vincenzo did to me but taecyeon damnnnn... junho too i am watching with great interest

From:

queenmedea.livejournal.com

I came to see After School and they did not disappoint. They owned that stage. All of them. Kahi is kinda on another level, but I'd say Jooyeon, Jungha, Bekah, and Rania all held their own. Bekah was particularly amazing to me because it's been ages since she's performed but it was like not time had passed at all. Also she's gorgeous. Jooyeon has never stood out to me when she was actively promoting and yet here she shined. Maybe I was oblivious before? Jungha performing like it's easy at 5 months pregnant is unbelievable. Apparently she's superwoman? And Rania is always cute. I'm really glad she got a fair amount of lines. I was worried Kahi would end up with the majority, but it was pretty equal overall.

OMG performing Closer was a treat. That's my favorite song by them. Though I've realized I like most of their title tracks. I thought Cupid was a great debut song. I think Liar Liar came after this? Loved that one too...
