01x07 - Episode 7

[bunniefuu]

WE ASKED MUSICIANS FROM DIFFERENT GENRES

WHAT IF

YOU HAD ONLY ONE CHANCE TO PRESENT
A PERFECT PERFORMANCE BEFORE YOU DIED?

THERE'S JUST ONE CONDITION

DO IT IN ONE TAKE

To me, MAMAMOO is

my youth itself.

I dedicated my entire 20s to it.

Let me show you Wheein!

It's always been just the four of us,
no matter what we do.

We've spent so much time together,

so the four of us have navigated
through our years together as a group.

I laugh at small things and talk a lot
when I'm with the girls.

Make more eye contact.

Rock, paper, scissors!

People often say,

"They look like
they're having so much fun on stage."

When I'm with the girls,

I'm not afraid of anything,
and I'm not even nervous.

I'm suddenly nervous.

-This is bad.
-I don't think we can move here.

Can we do it in one take?

I'm so nervous,
since we can't make any mistakes.

We don't have a choice.

That part shouldn't be delayed, right?

Take 1 is too brutal.

This is driving me crazy.

-It's too bad.
-Yes.

-Do you think we can pull it off?
-I don't know.

We should make it work.

CAN THEY PULL IT OFF?

What if you could sing
just one song before you died?

Just one song?

The stage was scary.

It could be its only moment
in the spotlight.

-If this doesn't work, we're screwed.
-Right.

It's a concert
where you only get one take.

There are a lot of things
that don't make any sense.

It's a chance to challenge myself.

Can I create the effect I want
in a place like this?

I just want this performance
to scream MAMAMOO.

There will be 200 dancers.

This wouldn't be possible without Netflix.

To be on a stage like this before I die,
at the end of my life...

-It's the time remaining until Take 1.
-Is this like a time b*mb?

It's been a while.

THE FIRST MEETING

-Hello.
-Hello, take a seat, please.

It's been so long since we did this.

MOONBYUL - SOLAR - WHEEIN - HWASA

-These stones separate us.
-Yes.

I'm sure you've all heard about
what this show is about.

This show is called Take 1.

Now, let me ask you this.

If you could sing
just one song before you died,

what song would it be?

That's quite deep.

We are deeper than we look.

THE QUESTION FOR MAMAMOO

You'll perform only one song
as best as you can,

making it the performance of a lifetime.

THE ONE PERFORMANCE
TO PRESENT BEFORE DYING

But there's one condition,

you have to do it in one take.

We're talking about
the performance you've dreamed of.

Yes.

Are we listening too seriously?

-You were all nodding.
-We're thinking about it.

-About what performance to do.
-We're all very deep.

THEY GO INTO DEEP THOUGHT

It's difficult to choose just one song.

-We have too many songs.
-We really do.

Did I sound condescending?

"We have too many songs."

I mean, we have so many songs.

-It's hard to choose just one.
-"We have too many songs."

WHEN IT COMES TO HITS

MAMAMOO IS

THE MASTER OF PERFORMANCE

WHAT KIND OF PERFORMANCE...

Do you have a dream performance?

...DO THEY WISH TO DO ON TAKE 1?

I came up with this idea.

We've always held big concerts,
but we can change that this time.

Maybe at a small theater
with just an acoustic guitar.

The four of us can sit around,

singing and talking.

I like the idea of a small theater,

-Or...
-The complete opposite?

We can also do something...

-I mean...
-Something spectacular?

Yeah, with glamour and spectacles.

I prefer the former idea.

-A small theater?
-Yes.

That way we can fill the entire stage
with just our voices alone.

It's a lovely idea we can entertain.

I'm leaning toward the latter.

No! Join us with the former.

I'd like the latter.

SPECTACLE VS. SMALL THEATER

I also would love to do a big gig,
but maybe not for this occasion?

-But it's Netflix.
-Right.

A small theater doesn't fit
the scale of Netflix.

But that's too predictable, isn't it?

-No, it's not.
-How so?

It'll be so big that no one will be able
to predict the scale.

I don't think so.
You need to let go of the scale.

Performing in a small theater
is even harder.

SHE DOESN'T LIKE THAT IDEA

Calm down.

I'll stop talking now.

-Let me stop here.
-You two leaned over with such passion.

THEIR DESIRES DIFFER

-Like this?
-Yeah, I was surprised.

-We're not seeing eye to eye.
-Nope.

-Maybe...
-We need to pick a place.

-To talk through this.
-I guess we should.

And we can't leave that place
until we reach a decision.

-Until we come up with an idea.
-Let's create something.

It's been a while.

THEY NEED TO HAVE PROPER DISCUSSION

We need to plan the performance.

Hit me with a song, each of you.

TAKE ONE PERFORMANCE
CHOOSING A SONG

-I'll go with "Mr. Ambiguous."
-Okay.

That's the song
I'd choose to sing before dying.

That song defined MAMAMOO
and made us who we are now.

WHEEIN'S RECOMMENDATION
"MR. AMBIGUOUS"

So if I had to choose one song
to perform before I died,

I'd tear up while singing that.

It would define our start and end.

MAMAMOO's identity!

2014
THE TITLE TRACK OFF THEIR DEBUT ALBUM

THE STARTING POINT OF MAMAMOO

It was the first time
we performed on stage as MAMAMOO,

so this song means a lot to us.

HWASA'S RECOMMENDATION, "HIP"

-What about "HIP"?
-"HIP."

That's the song
that best shows MAMAMOO's color.

I think that song represents
MAMAMOO's message...

THE SONG THAT BEST REPRESENTS MAMAMOO

...like well-tailored clothes.

-Indeed!
-Yes.

THE TITLE TRACK
OF THEIR 2ND FULL-LENGTH ALBUM

THE SONG WAS BELOVED AT HOME AND ABROAD

This song was also hugely popular.

When I ask people to pick
a bop by MAMAMOO...

A bop? Let's call it a hit.

A hit sounds much better!

Many pick "HIP"
as MAMAMOO's biggest hit.

I guess you're right.

I'll pick "Um Oh Ah Yeh."

MOONBYUL'S RECOMMENDATION
"UM OH AH YEH"

-"Um Oh Ah Yeh"?
-"Um Oh Ah Yeh."

-"Um Oh Ah Yeh" is...
-A megahit song?

A song like that can never be made again.

MAMAMOO's national anthem.

THE TITLE SONG
FROM THEIR SECOND MINI ALBUM

IT MADE MAMAMOO WHO THEY ARE TODAY

-We never get tired of singing it.
-Like our theme song.

-We've sung this a billion times.
-Right.

-I just don't get tired of singing it.
-It's fun.

It's always an exciting song to sing.

So we have "Mr. Ambiguous,"

"HIP,"

and "Um Oh Ah Yeh."

Now that we've narrowed it down
to these three songs,

let's keep our discussion going.

Let's do that.

By the way,

about what the stage would look like...

A PLAN FOR THE STAGE?

-You're standing up for this too?
-Yes.

This is about what we talked about
at the interview.

I'll show you.

SMALL THEATER VS. SPECTACLE

SHE'S DRAWING SOMETHING

Are you drawing a hammer?

Let's say this is the venue.

This part is a small stage.

A small one.

-So there's a thrust stage?
-That's right.

Hye-jin and Wheein said

they preferred a small-scale stage,
like a small theater, right?

Let's say the four of us
start performing here.

We can depict the early days of MAMAMOO

with a fresh and upbeat mood.

Then we'll walk toward the big stage
to change the tone of the performance.

At the large stage,

we'll offer a big,
spectacular performance.

Then we'll finish it here

with a grand finale.

A COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE TWO SIDES

We can start with "Mr. Ambiguous" here.

-Then...
-Change to "HIP"?

Yes, as we move to this stage.

-To show our journey?
-That's it.

-I like that idea.
-Let's also change clothes.

Shall we rip them off?

The two stages should be
completely different.

How about this?

We appear here with different clothes.

-So we change inside the tunnel?
-Yes.

For "Mr. Ambiguous,"
we can wear colorful clothes.

THEY EXPLODE WITH IDEAS

-Let's do that.
-We used to wear such clothes.

And then as we come out from the tunnel...

AN AGREEMENT IS REACHED

That's the idea.

Now our thoughts are much clearer

about how we'll do it.

MAMAMOO'S TAKE 1

It's about the musical journey of MAMAMOO.

Starting with
our debut song "Mr. Ambiguous,"

we'll show that fresh and cute image
that we had in our early days.

"MR. AMBIGUOUS" WILL SHOW
THEIR YOUNG AND FRESH IMAGE

There's a tunnel between the two stages.

TUNNEL

We'll move through that tunnel
and change clothes

to perform "HIP" on the other stage...

"HIP" WILL SHOW
THE CONFIDENT, PRESENT-DAY MAMAMOO

...where we'll show the more intense
and glamorous side of MAMAMOO.

THIS IS WHAT MAMAMOO PLANNED

BUT...

If you could sing just one song,
what would it be?

...TAKE 1 ALLOWS ONLY ONE SONG

It's difficult...

-To choose just one song?
-That, and...

CHOOSING ONE SONG IS DIFFICULT

To decide what to show.

Should we use such a huge stage set
for just one single song?

THERE ARE TWO STAGES

We'd like to show
the musical journey of our group.

But we don't have enough time
to show all those different songs.

We get to perform only one song.

That's a shame. So we decided to...

TO FIND A WAY...

-At a small space...
-To make it intense.

...THEY ASKED FOR HELP

That's new.

PRODUCER LEE HU-SANG, CEO KIM DO-HUN,
PRODUCER LEE SANG-h*

So we decided to combine it
with a small stage.

What about the song?

"Mr. Ambiguous."

We'll start with "Mr. Ambiguous" here.

-And "HIP" is widely popular...
-So it's not just one song?

Right.

IT HAS TO BE ONE SONG

-Maybe...
-"Mr. Ambiguous" is like an intro.

If that tunnel represents
MAMAMOO's journey toward the present,

we can install LED screens there
to play a video clip.

The clip will present a mash-up
of your previous performances.

-As we walk through the tunnel?
-Right.

Through that mash-up,
we'll show MAMAMOO's various hits.

-Then you girls will show up.
-We'll appear on stage with "HIP."

Good idea!

-I like that.
-Sounds great!

-That provides some context.
-Indeed.

Let's make a mash-up of different songs.

WHAT IF MAMAMOO'S HITS
WERE MASHED INTO ONE SONG?

We can include various title songs
and hits in the clip.

-Let's make it cool.
-That's not easy.

In conclusion, we'll create a performance
that shows MAMAMOO's musical journey.

We haven't decided
how many songs will be included.

But we need to combine them
into one song organically.

Medleys are one of the things
that define MAMAMOO.

We've done so many medleys.

So if we create a medley
representing MAMAMOO's seven years,

it will mean a lot.

-To show our seven years...
-Sounds fun.

That will require about 50 minutes.

It will never end.

What about seven minutes?
Seven years, seven minutes.

It's about showing the path
MAMAMOO has walked,

the path we have created and polished.

"MAMAMOO's music was extraordinary."

This is the message we'd like to deliver.

I just want this performance
to scream MAMAMOO.

A performance that can deliver
what MAMAMOO is about.

7-MINUTE PERFORMANCE
FOR MAMAMOO'S 7 YEARS

Would it be possible
to create such a performance?

ONE SINGLE PERFORMANCE
THAT STEMMED FROM THEIR IMAGINATION

THE TAKE ONE CLOCK
THE SHOW STARTS WHEN IT HITS 000:00:00

We've come up with a plan.
Now it's time to implement it.

"Can we pull it off
exactly as we planned?"

That's the pressure we're all feeling.

If we can maximize the difference
between the two stages...

ONE VENUE WITH TWO STAGES

...the effect will be more dramatic.

So we looked for the right venue for that.

SEARCHING FOR A VENUE

We haven't done anything
for the performance yet.

Only when it turns out to be feasible...

TIME LEFT UNTIL TAKE 1

...can we talk about it again, I guess.

THEN ONE DAY

MAMAMOO'S MANAGER
I THINK I'VE FOUND THE RIGHT VENUE!

THANK GOD!
WE WERE ALSO LOOKING FOR ONE!

WHERE IS IT?

-Hello.
-Hello.

STAFF MEETING

Although time is running out
and we had difficulty finding a venue,

we were lucky enough
to find a decent venue.

But the location is

in Gwangju, Jeolla Province.

Oops.

MAMAMOO'S TAKE 1

IN GWANGJU CITY

-Many fans will have to travel.
-That's tricky.

THE VENUE IS FAR FROM SEOUL

I think this is the best venue
for the performance we planned.

Because, as you can see here...

First, it has an outdoor stage.

Here, passersby can stop
to watch the show,

giving it a street performance feel.

A SMALL THEATER CONCEPT SPACE

Most importantly, we chose this venue

because this door opens.

THE DOOR LEADS TO ANOTHER SPACE

This giant door opens

and leads to another stage inside...

TWO DIFFERENT STAGES AT ONE VENUE

...so we can do
a large-scale performance here.

There's more.

You also talked about an LED tunnel.

When the four of you go inside,
it can serve as a tunnel.

THE TUNNEL CONNECTING THE TWO STAGES

Here, the mash-up video clip will play...

THE CLIP WILL PLAY OUTSIDE THE TUNNEL

...showing MAMAMOO's previous performances.

Meanwhile, you all should change fast
and move to the other stage.

THEY MUST GET CHANGED
BEFORE THE CLIP ENDS

We calculated the time
you'll have to change clothes.

You'll have about two minutes.

THEY'LL ONLY HAVE 2 MINUTES

Do you think it can be done
in two minutes?

Two minutes is tough.

There was that time
when we got really delayed

during that concert, remember?

-How long did it take in our concert?
-Less than two minutes.

IT WON'T BE EASY

It takes more than two minutes.
Maybe three minutes.

-You can make it quick.
-That's the only way, I guess.

-We should make it work.
-Yes.

We'll have to see if it's possible
at the rehearsal a day before the show.

We won't know until we try it out.

Things can go wrong in a live show.

So I can't say for sure
that it's doable in such a short time.

We may as well just record
the "Mr. Ambiguous" performance.

Then what's the point of doing Take 1?

-How can we...
-I just thought of that.

I'm just worried about the outfit change.

We're drifting away
from the show's concept.

Shall we listen to the song?

Let's practice "Mr. Ambiguous."

"Mr. Ambiguous."

Do we start like this?

-What was the intro like?
-Where?

We all start like this.

THEY HAVEN'T DONE
AN IN-PERSON CONCERT IN 2 YEARS

-Now I remember.
-You all know your poses.

It's been a while since the four of us
have gathered for a performance.

So I'm a little nervous about that.

And we don't have enough time to practice.

Head, shoulders, knees, HIP.

Why do we all go like this?

Do we really get just one chance?

Okay.

-For real?
-Yes.

What if one side of the LED screen
blinks and turns off?

-That's the fun of it.
-It is what it is.

-Really?
-Yes.

What if we fail to change clothes in time?

It is what it is.

-There's no take two.
-No!

This is for only one song.

We came all the way down here
two days ago, to do all this for one song.

INSTALLING THE STAGE SET

SPECIAL EFFECT EQUIPMENT

PREPARING THE VIDEO CLIP

D-1 GWANGJU CITY

Here we are in Gwangju.

It looks exotic here.

-What's this?
-It's here. Oh, my God!

-This is so...
-That box is huge.

-What a surprise.
-That's enormous!

I've never seen it that big.

Holy cow.

This is brilliant.

We found that our MAMAMOO box

had gotten much bigger.

We used to bring the MAMAMOO box

to every performance
in the early days of our career.

I remember doing a street performance

at a tree-filled park,

with that box in place.

This giant box took me
right back to those days.

-It's going to be so cool if this opens.
-Tell me about it.

-This is ingenious.
-I guess it lights up here.

It's opening!

Holy cow.

-It's opening!
-Oh, my God.

-This is huge.
-Tell me about it.

So this box will move?

I guess. This will open as well.

-I've never seen a venue like this.
-Me neither.

It's not like anything I've seen.

It has exceeded our expectations.

We've done a lot of concerts,
but never with this type of set.

This is enormous!

-I've got goose bumps.
-Wait, I'm so excited!

Try not to cry!

Don't cry, everyone.

The stage looked even cooler
than we had expected.

I was thrilled when I saw the stage.

Look at that. It's moving.

So this is how it reaches this stage.

It keeps coming.
I guess this is where it stops.

THE MYSTERIOUS BOX IS COMING

There's a tunnel. As we move
through the tunnel, things change.

THE MOVING BOX WILL SERVE

AS THE TUNNEL BETWEEN THE TWO STAGES

We'll go into the box and change clothes.

THEY'LL GET CHANGED AS THE BOX MOVES

When we come out of the box,

the atmosphere will change completely
as we start performing "HIP."

THEY'LL REAPPEAR ON STAGE
WHEN THE BOX ARRIVES

This is how we'll show MAMAMOO's journey...

THE BOX IS CRITICAL
FOR THE PERFORMANCE'S BIG TWIST

...from our early days
to our glamorous present.

I've never seen such a giant, moving box

used on stage in any kind of broadcast.
That was so new.

Let's optimize our movements
as we rehearse.

We'll need at least two rehearsals.

THEY NEED TO REHEARSE
AS THIS IS A NEW PERFORMANCE

We're going to do the technical rehearsal
this evening.

The timing for the lifts and other things
hasn't been perfectly synced.

THERE'S A LOT OF
COMPLICATED SPECIAL EQUIPMENT

-Right.
-So there could be

-a slight margin of error today.
-Then we'll do it tomorrow.

TO BE SAFE,
THEY'LL REHEARSE ON THE DAY OF THE SHOW

-Doing it tomorrow would be better?
-Yes.

We're nervous because we have to rehearse
on the day of the performance,

since we only get one chance.

That's what we're worried about most.

HAVING ONLY ONE CHANCE
MAKES THEM NERVOUS

The sky is dark and overcast.

-And it's quite windy.
-Tell me about it.

It suddenly became cold.

EVEN THE WEATHER IS DISQUIETING

From this evening,
there will be strong winds.

-I think it's going to rain.
-Yeah?

I bet it's going to rain soon.

-I feel like rain always follows us.
-Yep.

But the show will be in the evening.

What worries me the most is

that the "Mr. Ambiguous" part will be
on the outdoor stage.

-Outside...
-There are no seats, right?

There will be people passing by,
but maybe not if it rains.

THERE MIGHT BE NO PASSERSBY
IF IT RAINS

It looks like
it's going to come down hard.

Oh, no.

Here we are.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

Hello.

12:15PM MAMAMOO ARRIVES

How are you feeling today?

I'm nervous.

-You're nervous?
-Yes.

What's making you nervous?

I can't stop worrying
about the outfit change.

We need to rehearse the outfit change.

We have only one chance.

MAMAMOO'S DRESSING ROOM

So there should be no mistakes.

We'll try to make it work,
although we're not sure it'll work.

My concern is

it might rain.

Please make sure it doesn't.

Can I?

We'll start rehearsing with MAMAMOO
at two o'clock.

-Let's go.
-Okay.

It's cold!

REHEARSAL STARTS

-I should've worn long sleeves.
-Let's do the sound check.

You can go up on the stage.

It's raining!

-It was quite warm yesterday.
-I know.

So cold!

IT SUDDENLY GOT COLD
BECAUSE OF THE RAIN

-Wait. It's so slippery!
-I feel nostalgic.

This is such a challenge for us.

RAINDROPS ARE STILL FALLING

-Can we do it in one take?
-It'll be tough to dance here.

THE OMINOUS START

I don't think this will change later.

-It's too wet already.
-They must be our fans.

Hi, MOOMOOs.

Stay under the umbrella!

Use an umbrella.

There are so many of them.
Where did they all come from?

-Wheein!
-Wheein!

MAMAMOO AND THEIR FANS MEET
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 2 YEARS

It felt real in that moment

that we were doing this show.

Seeing the fans gave us a jolt,
and we became thrilled and nervous.

Shall we try it out?

Let's try it out first.

-Shall we start the rehearsal?
-Yes.

Are we rehearsing from start to finish?

-Yes, from start to finish.
-Okay.

To be honest, we're still not sure
how this performance would go.

FOR MAMAMOO'S TAKE 1 TO SUCCEED

THEY HAVE 2 MINUTES WHILE THE BOX MOVES

Okay, stand by.

TO CHANGE AND APPEAR ON STAGE

Three, two, one, start.

MAMAMOO'S PAST
THE "MR. AMBIGUOUS" PART

THE OUTDOOR STAGE
IS BROADCAST IN REAL TIME

Hey! Right here...

AFTER THE "MR. AMBIGUOUS" PART,
THEY MOVE INTO THE BUILDING

This comes down rather late.

MAMAMOO GETS IN THE BOX
THAT TRAVELS FROM PAST TO PRESENT

Let's change.

THE LIFT-DESCENDING SECTION

I'll do it.

Oh, gosh!

My in-ear pack slipped off!

THE MASH-UP VIDEO PLAYS
MAMAMOO'S 7 YEARS OF HITS

THE BOX IS MOVING

MAMAMOO IS CHANGING

I need to get this out. The in-ear.

ONE MINUTE LEFT
UNTIL THEY HAVE TO REAPPEAR

Hold on, lower it a little.

THEY HAVE YET TO FIND
SOLAR'S IN-EAR PACK

I'm almost done. Hold on!

MOONBYUL FINISHES CHANGING

AND STEPS ONTO THE LIFT

WHEEIN FINISHES CHANGING

-You don't have your in-ear pack?
-Where is it?

SOLAR IS SEARCHING FOR HER IN-EAR PACK

-I can't find the pack!
-Are they still there?

MAMAMOO'S PRESENT
"HIP" PART

Has everyone arrived?

LESS THAN 30 SECONDS REMAIN
UNTIL THEY HAVE TO REAPPEAR

Are there only three of them on the lift?

HWASA FINISHES CHANGING

SOLAR IS STILL SEARCHING
FOR HER IN-EAR PACK

We've found it!

TEN SECONDS REMAIN

-Can they go up?
-I need a battery!

Can they come up now?

No, Solar is not here yet!

Now...

THEY FAIL TO SHOW UP ON TIME...

Let's try to get them up at the last part.

...TO CONTINUE THE PERFORMANCE,

It's Moonbyul's turn now.

SOLAR HAS TO COME OUT NOW

Am I the only one here?

ONLY SOLAR IS MISSING

-I'm the only one here.
-Oh, God.

ONLY THREE OF THEM APPEAR

SOLAR IS A TAD...

SOLAR IS WAY TOO LATE

Let's stop it here.

THE REHEARSAL IS STOPPED

That was my fault. I'm sorry.

My in-ear pack slipped off
and got stuck here.

Solar, you should make it quick.

Ms. Kim Yong-sun.

-Ms. Kim, plan B was nice.
-What?

-Where are you?
-I'm down here.

What happened?

What's this, "Taller Than You"?
Where are you?

I'm here.

-What happened?
-Can you help me up?

Let me hold your mike.

-What if no one's there to hold your mike?
-You okay?

-I just put it down.
-Me too.

-That's not a problem.
-Then what is? Why plan B?

It wasn't plan B.

-When I arrived, the lift was gone.
-It came up empty.

SOLAR COULDN'T MAKE IT
BACK ON STAGE IN TIME

It went right up, and Wheein was...

IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN,
MAMAMOO'S TAKE 1 WILL FAIL

I was trying to rush it,
and things went wrong.

I guess I felt quite pressured

as we had some unexpected problems.

I need to hold my horses and relax a bit.

THE PRESSURE OF 2 MINUTES

-Shall we try it again?
-Let's get changed.

-Let's do it.
-Yes.

-Could you lower the lift?
-Sure.

IN THE TIME THAT'S LEFT,

THEY NEED TO FIGURE OUT
THE PROBLEMATIC TWO MINUTES

-There are 200 people out there.
-What?

There are 200 people waiting for a ticket.

THE TICKETS GET DISTRIBUTED

The things to make sure of?

-Not making a mistake?
-I can't stop thinking about it.

I keep worrying about making mistakes
throughout the rehearsals.

EVEN ONE MISTAKE
COULD DEVASTATE THE PERFORMANCE

What's happening?

Shall we do it again?

-This is k*lling me.
-We need to come up here faster.

I just came out before it came up.

THEIR TIMING NEEDS TO BE PERFECT

That part shouldn't be delayed, right?

It's just so tight.

I go behind you, right?

-Isn't this too far?
-It is.

I can't stride that far.

PROBLEMS KEEP ARISING

-Let's make the first one short.
-Okay.

-Do you think it'll work?
-I don't know.

-Shall we try it again?
-I think we have to.

-Let's do it one more time.
-Again.

REPEATED ATTEMPTS

IMPENDING TAKE 1

Take 1 makes me so nervous
as we have only one chance.

Because we have to do everything
in one take,

I'm quite anxious and worried.

But now, we're ready.

-Are you sure?
-Yes.

Take 1 is on now. We'll make it work.

-Thank you.
-Thank you, everyone.

I'll keep you all posted
about the next item on the schedule.

THE REHEARSAL IS FINISHED

We'll let the audience in
as soon as we're ready.

The audience is entering now.

Get your ticket ready.
We'll check it at the entrance.

How are you feeling about
seeing MAMAMOO for the first time in ages?

I'm so thrilled!

-I came from Cheongju.
-I'm from Busan.

-I'm from Incheon.
-I'm from Gwangju.

I came from Hong Kong.

I'm from Spain and I came back today
to Gwangju to see MAMAMOO.

We wanted to thank our fans.

They've come all the way here to see us.

We've prepared some Polaroids and towels...

PHOTOS AND TOWELS
WITH MESSAGES IN THEIR HANDWRITING

...and we wrapped each gift ourselves.

These are photos
you cannot get anywhere else.

So they mean a lot to us.

I haven't seen MAMAMOO
in more than two years.

I'm so happy to see all four of them
performing together.

I'm excited. I cannot wait!

MAMAMOO AND THE FANS
ARE REUNITED AFTER 2 YEARS

IT'S STILL QUIET AROUND THE OUTDOOR STAGE

-We haven't invited people to this stage
-Right.

There could be no one at all.

NO ONE WAS INVITED TO THE OUTDOOR STAGE

I don't mind having just a few people.

Even one would be enough.

We would perform for a small number
of fans in our early days.

Back then, passersby looked at us
and wondered who we were.

This makes me so excited,
just as I used to get in the past

when we did street performances
in our early days.

MAMAMOO is up soon!

We have ten minutes left.

Directors, we'll start the show
at 19:00 sharp

at the outdoor stage.

Let's start with a round of applause!

Give them a big round of applause
for ten seconds!

Gosh, it's so cold.

Is every director ready?

Let me know if you're not.

Big door, special effects, P, lift.

How much time do we have left?

-Not a lot.
-We have four minutes.

-Four minutes?
-I'm suddenly nervous.

I'm freaking out about the outfit change.

We can do it.

We've got this!

We've got this.

-We have one minute. You can go up now.
-It's so cold.

Shall we go up now?

MAMAMOO is coming up.

It's cold.

This is a live broadcast.
Let's be thorough, everyone.

Try not to be too nervous.

I'm shaking.

-We've got this.
-Okay.

-Come on.
-We've got this!

We have ten seconds until Take 1.

Ten, nine, eight, seven,

six, five, four, three, two.

Music, start!

"MR. AMBIGUOUS" + "HIP" BY MAMAMOO
(TAKE 1 MASH-UP VERSION)

Sorry, but do I have something on my face?

The way you're looking at me
Is confusing me

Mamamoo, Mamamoo
Hey there, Mr. Ambiguous

Don't just look at me
And come a little closer

Shh, are you interested in me?

Hey, are you interested in me?

Are you interested in me?

My love is for you woo come on

Why don't you know my heart?

Mr. Ambiguous, don't confuse me

Hey, Mr.

Hide carefully or else I'll find you

Just tell me, Mr. Ambiguous

Why are you acting crooked like a beret?

Don't test me and just come to me

Love is about taking
Sing me a serenade

Mamamoo, Mamamoo
Hey there, Mr. Ambiguous

I think you have another girl
Other than me

I love you whatever you say

Respect you for whatever you do

Warm all the time, stinging interests

Another glance, glance, glance

Everything is easy now, veteran
I chop success and eat it like Michelin

I walked faster than anyone else

Off season
I forgot a long time ago, step back

All I wanna be is to be cool
I pick whatever I want, kick it

Head, shoulders, knees, all HIP

Beep, beep
People keep talking about my fashion

I don't care, it's just an action

Click me, click me
As if you're possessed, zoom

So HIP, HIP
Head, shoulders, knees, HIP

HIP, HIP, HIP-HIP-HIP-HIP

HIP, HIP
Head, shoulders, knees, HIP

HIP-HIP-HIP, so HIP

-Attention
-Wherever you go

-Reflection
-You can shine

There's only one of you in the world

But what's wrong?
Why spit on your own face?

Thank you for stimulating me

Idiots who stop there, reflection
My mental state got stronger

I'm off to make the next album

You want clickbait gimmicks, bad baby!

The likes of you, HIP

Beep, beep
People keep talking about my fashion

I don't care, it's just an action

Click me, click me
As if you're possessed, zoom

Head, shoulders, knees, HIP

Greasy hair, if I do it, it's HIP

Stained shirt, panties sticking out

Greasy hair, I don't care

Stained shirt, panties sticking out

Greasy hair, if I do it, it's HIP

Beep, beep
People keep talking about my fashion

I don't care, it's just an action

Click me, click me
As if you're possessed, zoom

So HIP, HIP, HIP
Head, shoulder, knees, HIP

So HIP, HIP, HIP-HIP-HIP-HIP

HIP, HIP
Head, shoulder, knees, HIP

HIP-HIP-HIP, so HIP, HIP

-Well done!
-Good job!

Thank you!

It's a shame that it's over.

-If you liked the performance...
-Tell me about it.

We have to do a concert.

...give them a hand.

-Gosh.
-A big round of applause!

-Shall we go back up?
-Yes.

Shall we?

-Well...
Let's just do it!

I'm happy that I got to enjoy
MAMAMOO's seven-year story today.

I feel like my spirit is still over there.

I really enjoyed watching it.

I'm a high school senior,
but I'm so glad that I came for this.

It was the best.

It was a performance that showed
how great MAMAMOO is.

I really enjoyed it.

I hope they keep being musicians

who connect with the fans
and are beloved like this.

MOOMOOs!

We love you all!

I'm sad that it's over.

We'd like to do it...

Until take 285.

It takes 280 takes to satisfy us.

-I feel such a resonance.
-Me too.

I feel that today's performance
was more than worth the effort,

and it took us back to where we belong.

I was really moved by it.

Take 1 made me realize once again,

"We are MAMAMOO."
