They promised to reflect on their actions and apologized again in their statement to MAMAMOO and their fans.

Fans reactions have been split, some thought it was funny, some thought it was cringy, and there were some who thought it was rude.

Check out the video below and judge for yourself:

What do you personally think?

My Personal Thoughts

I watched the video; it was extremely cringy and slightly funny. Not a big deal in my opinion.

It depends on how you view it, it could be considered rude because it seems that they tried to shift attention away from MAMAMOO. I am a fan of MAMAMOO and I loved how they reacted to the boys, they’re so sweet, Solar was laughing so hard, every member reaction was epic.

I don’t know what the boys were aiming for with this; it could be a publicity stunt to attract attention or it could be they simply were too happy to see MAMAMOO win.

I think some netizens and fans are being a bit too sensitive about it, with all that’s going on these days in the Kpop industry this is literally not a big deal. It’s just cringy.

Regardless, if they did this for publicity then I feel sorry for them more than anything else. It’s very difficult to attract attention as a rookie group and the market is extremely saturated at this point.

Fighting! and congrats MAMAMOO!
