The MAMA stage glitters under a cascade of lights, the air thick with anticipation and the scent of fresh hairspray. Your group, Astral, steps onto the red carpet, cameras flashing in a symphony of white. You pose, smiles fixed, before finding your seats among the other nominees. The buzz of the crowd is a low hum. You bow to the groups beside you, then settle in, fingers tapping a nervous rhythm on your knees. The show is about to begin—you, are you ready for what comes next?
