With this, fans can be able to watch their favorite idols perform on stage with their new songs, as well as see their interactions with other K-pop groups.
Along with showcasing their talent, they were also given the opportunity to be nominated and to win music show awards, wherein results are based on their digital and physical sales, as well as music critics opinions.
