On January 2, the 33rd Seoul Music Awards took place in Thailand, honoring many K-Pop stars and entertainers.

However, many issues surrounded the awards show, including a short and hot soundcheck, long delays, and even a stage fire before the event began.
Biggest jokes of the year.
The Soundcheck didnt even start as what scheduled. Its delayed for hours and after one group did the soundcheck we are asked to leave??????? #33rdSeoulMusicAwardsinBKK #SMAinBKK pic.twitter.com/VE7R9O9Lud

At first, it seemed like these audio issues only happened on the stream, but in GOT7‘s Youngjae and BamBam’s case, they happened in the middle of his performance.
THEY FKED UP YOUNGJAE’s AUDIO TOO.
Poor baby is confused and clearly not having it afterwards. He lost his smile. #33rdSeoulMusicAwardsinBKK #SeoulMusicAwards #SeoulMusicAwardInBKK #SMAinBKK #YOUNGJAE #GOT7 pic.twitter.com/zOaqDXGNBW

Both idols handled it professionally, finishing their performances with skill. Later, after the performance, BamBam took to X to talk about the issues during his performance, saying it was the “WORST” sound system he had ever encountered.
