[+140, -3] What was even the point of holding this all the way in the US and Japan?? ㅋㅋ So ridiculous. There was no point to it at all, especially with the lower quality broadcasting that resulted from it.

[+92, -7] I was waiting three hours to see Bruno Mars… and it ended up being a lip synced pre-recording… what a disappointment

[+63, -5] All that promotion about it being first stage reveal and everything just to disappoint us like this…

[+49, -2] As expected of MAMA, no prestige or anything at all ㅋㅋㅋ

[+16, -1] Why even bother pre-recording something lip synced.. that’s disappointing

[+14, -1] I can’t believe they played a lip synced pre-recording at an awards ceremony ㅋ it’s not like they were performing multiple songs together and was subbing one song out with a pre-recording, they only had this one song to sing and couldn’t do it ㅋ

[+8, -1] At least those of us who were watching from home had nothing to lose, I can’t imagine the fools who were at the scene waiting for the live performance ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+7, -1] Out of basic consideration for the fans who traveled all the way there to watch, they could’ve just sang it live.. why pre-record it?

[+5, -0] Was this held in Japan again?????

[+4, -0] No manners to show this pre-recorded

[+3, -1] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Feels like I’ve been slapped~ so messed up

[+3, -2] International reactions have been positive, it’s only us Koreans who are so angry over it! What a shame!
