The megaphone performance during “T.B.H” was a highlight, receiving enthusiastic responses from the audience.

QWER and KGMA Spark Online Discussions
QWERβs rising popularity extended internationally. They showcased their appeal at “Wonderlivet 2024,” Koreaβs first large-scale J-pop festival. On the MLBPARK community, fans celebrated QWERβs achievements. However, some expressed doubts about PLAVEβs omission from the band category, despite leading in votes. Critics questioned KGMAβs decision to categorize PLAVE as a band due to their band-concept sound.
