On November 8, a topic titled “MAMA’s collaboration stage sucks” was published on the Korean forum Pann Nate, drawing huge attention with over 70,000 views.
In the post, an image of the line-up for MAMA’s “Super Stage” collaboration, which consists of (G)I-DLE’s Minnie, LE SSERAFIM’s Huh Yunjin, Kep1er’s Xiaoting, Bada Lee, and Monika, was included.
The original poster then described this line up as a “gathering of nugus”, claiming that the girls included are all lesser-known, especially compared to trending girl groups like IVE, NewJeans, aespa, and StayC.
However, while some also express disappointment, most disagree with the claims that the aforementioned line-up are “nugus”. Instead, they show high anticipations and argue that the line-up has a great vibe and is also popular.

Below are some comments from netizens:
- [+67,-8] You need to use the Internet more often… Do you know what “nugu” means?
- [+54, -8] I actually like this lineup because they exude a cool vibe that girls like
- [+47, -8] I’m looking forward to Xiaoting’s dance
- [+39, -4] I can’t waiting for the visual combination of Huh Yunjin and Xiaoting
- [+30, -3] This not an interesting combination
On the other hand, international fans are mostly worried that like last year;s MAMA, this collaboration stage will just end up with each girl dancing separately.
