This year, the Mnet Asian Music Awards made a shift and spread its line-up over several shows. The annual event kicked off this year in Vietnam before moving to Japan and then Hong Kong to celebrate all things k-pop. The three-night event saw dozens of performers take to the stage, but there were a few acts which simply stole the show.

When 2017 MAMA kicked off in Japan, the fandom was buzzing about Wanna One’s electric performance as well as Twice’s mash-up stage. The former group is a rookie one which is made up of winners of Produce 101. The idol reality series ended after it debuted the 11-member group, and the band’s energetic stage at the Mnet awards show stole hearts.

As for Twice, the girl group came to slay with a mash-up stage of their biggest hits. The JYP band got down with a dance remix before launching into their latest single “Likey” for their Japanese fans.

In Hong Kong, 2017 MAMA’s went out with a big bang thanks to two top-tier talents. EXO and BTS got social media rallying with their intense live stages. EXO took to the stage with a dance remix before their sultry choreography in “The Eve” kicked off. As for BTS, the global superstars ended the show with a mash-up stage that ended with an intense dance break to their “MIC Drop” remix with Steve Aoki.
