        πŸ’™ Hello, Kpopmap readers! πŸ’™

        We had the pleasure of visiting a very special set this past week.

        πŸ† The Fact and FAN N STAR's one and only local Korean K-Pop awards ceremony. πŸ†

        Kpopmap has been in charge of streaming the ceremony to North America and South America for 3 years since 2020.

        We'll be sharing some behind-the-scenes footage showing you how the streaming works and more!!! πŸ“ΈπŸ“ΈπŸ“Έ

         

        Firstly, on rehearsal day, the day before the 2022 TMAs, we headed to the KSPO Dome (Olympic Gymnastic Stadium)! πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

        The weather was so clear and filled with just enough clouds to make for a pretty sky!! 🌀🌀🌀

        You can see the ticket booths on either side, too!!

        We can imagine how packed that square must have been, filled to the brim with passionate fans, on the day of the awards! πŸ₯°

        Let's take a look around this grand stadium and head to where the video will be live-streamed!

        Looks like there's a lot of different equipment, too.

        πŸ€” These are probably all pieces of equipment for the live stream, right? πŸ€”

        Several people from many different publications seemed busy preparing to send out their 2022 TMA videos to fans all over the world. 🌍

        ✨ Here's Kpopmap's transmission team! ✨

        These are the onsite people who transmit the videos in real-time and provide translated English subtitles on-screen for global fans. We're super thankful to them!!!

        Since they're working so hard on the streaming tests, we'll give them some space and leave quietly!

        ~~~

        Let's head in to check out the rehearsals now!!!

        Firstly, we got verified for our affiliate passes and wristbands!

        The word 'rehearsal' was even written on both!

        We'll head in through the 2nd-floor entrance.

        When we entered the stadium,

        somebody was busy with their rehearsal.

         

        πŸ’šπŸ’š It was none other than... NCT DREAM!!! πŸ’šπŸ’š

        Kpopmap

        After that, we saw cameras that roam around and capture the members' handsome faces,

        and after that, you could see numerous people monitoring the situation, checking the sound and stages, and controlling them in real-time! πŸŽ₯

        So cool... 😎

         

        Just like that, NCT DREAM's rehearsal came to an end,

        and the stage equipment team went up on the stage.

        For the next performance, they swiftly removed the staircase structure that was behind the Dreamies and moved it down offstage.

        They'll probably have to make and assemble them again for the performance... πŸ€”

         

        We really thought the stage team was amazing.

        πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

         

        About 20 minutes later, the full set was taken apart,

        and the next artist went up on stage. 🎀🎀🎀

        To those of you who watched TMA 2022 live!

        Can you guess which group it is? πŸ˜…

         

        It's none other than...

         

        πŸ–€πŸ–€ It was THE BOYZ! πŸ–€πŸ–€

        Seeing the members make their amazing appearance and performance,

        we... couldn't even... really... form... words...

        'MAVERICK', JuYeon and HyunJae's special dance performance, and 'WHISPER' were part of their lineup.

        THE BOYZ pulled off all of these stages perfectly.

         

        'MAVERICK' and the dance performance were pre-recorded, but they were closely monitored through communication with the director to make sure the stage was perfect.

        That's how the pre-recording went.

         

        Perhaps that's the reason why we think this performance was so fantastic.

        The B, do you agree?

        THE BOYZ's rehearsal came to an end.

         

        πŸ’›πŸ’› Next up was Kang Daniel's rehearsal time. πŸ’›πŸ’›

        However, in order to change the set, the staff had to get on stage and start making preparations.

        During that time, we took another look around the stadium and got ourselves cans of Pepsi Zero Sugar Lime Flavor because we were thirsty. πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…

        This time, we worked hard looking for the entrance to the first floor.

        When we entered the rehearsal, according to the schedule, Kang Daniel was supposed to be rehearsing but due to a delay, they were still building the set.

        Check out how colorful and flashy the stage was. πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ

        We waited for the rehearsal to start again whilst sitting on the first floor.

        The morning's pre-recorded videos started playing on the screens while we were waiting.

        πŸ’™πŸ’™ The star of the video was TREASURE!!! πŸ’™πŸ’™

        We thought their performance was cool when we were watching the video but,

        as expected, seeing the actual broadcast was that much cooler.

        It would've been amazing to be able to see it in person. 😒😒😒

         

        We waited for a while but it was time for us to head back. 😒

        As we passed through the inside of the stadium,

        we made sure to take a picture when got close to the stage!

        Kpopmap

        We think that's where the standing ticket zone was!

        We took a final look at the stage,

        handed in our access passes and wristbands, then headed home for the day.

        As expected, the sky was stunning on the way home! πŸŒ…

        We even wondered if the weather decided to be nice in advance

        because it was the day before the 2022 TMAs. πŸ˜…πŸ˜…

         

        We'll end our on-site experience of the 2022 TMA rehearsals here.

         

        Bye bye~~~
