[2015 MAMA] BOM Makes a Surprise Appearance – the Biggest Surprise at MAMA
[엑스포츠뉴스=홍콩, 김승현 기자] 2NE1 made a surprise appearance at 2015 MAMA, held in Hong Kong.
On Wednesday, 2015 MAMA (Mnet Asian Music Awards) took place at AsiaWorld-Expo Arena, Hong Kong.
CL, a member of 2NE1, came on the stage, where she charismatically performed “THE BADDEST FEMALE” and “HELLO BITCHES.”
There was a short silence after CL’s performance. And DARA and MINZY appeared on the stage, followed by BOM. The audience stirred, because BOM has been having a hiatus due to her alleged drug scandal. So the fans and even relevant personnel of the event were all surprised when she appeared.
CL was supposed to perform solo, but all the members of 2NE1 were there on the stage. And the presence of BOM created a buzz. After releasing their second album “CRUSH” in February last year, the members of 2NE1 haven’t performed as a group. And on Wednesday, they performed “FIRE” and “I AM THE BEST.”
The fans there responded with applause. In particular, when BOM was singing, their cheer was the loudest. Even after 2NE1 went down the stage, they continued to give a standing ovation. No surprise that the buzz lasted for a long time. MAMA surprised the audience many times before: the most often-cited surprise is the kiss between Lee Hyo-ri and T.O.P. that took place at Mnet KM Music Festival (MKMF) in 2008, the former name of MAMA. But it is highly likely that BOM’s appearance at MAMA this year will take the place.
There are mixed reactions regarding BOM’s appearance at MAMA held in Hong Kong: she has not been saying anything about the controversy over her alleged drug scandal. While some fans are excited about the performance of 2NE1, others are saying that it is too soon for BOM to appear in public. There have been many speculations regarding 2NE1’s comeback, but it is no longer a remote possibility now that BOM made her appearance at MAMA.
