SOTY: 'Syndrome Of The Year' Stated By Soyeon Through Her Diss Drop At MAMA
On November 30, the 2022 MAMA Awards Day 2 was held at Kyocera Dome at Osaka. (G)I-DLE performed their hit releases this year, title track "TOMBOY" and B-side "MY BAG."
(G)I-DLE performed "TOMBOY" in collaboration with rock group JAURIM, who played "Boxing Helena."
Meanwhile, "MY BAG" caught the attention of the audience and viewers online, particularly due to Soyeon's lyrics. Fans were shocked when Soyeon's rap contained a diss context intended for MAMA Awards.
The song starts in a usual pace, giving time for audiences to digest the stage performance. However, in the middle of the song, Soyeon mentioned what awards will MAMA be giving this year, stating the show knows who are qualified to earn those awards.
She also implied the idea of "specially made awards," giving context to prizes that are 'made-up' or 'unauthentic'
Soyeon then concluded how they made relevance in today's generation of K-pop.
"What award will you give us this year, MAMA?
You know who we are the syndrome of the year
We reject specially made awards
New generation, we took over this generation"
