The MAMA Awards is their duo, which is Korean pop culture's flagship year and musical awards ceremony.

This also features performances by leading and fresh artists acts also, and in all, set to be held at Kyozera Dome in Osaka, Japan.

On Thursday, the official Instagram handle for the Mama Awards announced South Korean actor and vocalist Park Oh-beom among the most popular K-drama sensations as the ambassador and host for this year's ceremony.

has played some of the most beloved and adored K-drama characters in the history of different genres, which includes his global cherished portrayal of Guangxi, the male.

I start with the drums.

then i just send the drums to paul chastain who interestingly doesn't live in champaign or band illinois he grew up there went to my high school not with me he graduated before me he lives in osaka japan yes his wife is a physician they have two wonderful daughters and i sent my drums over to japan and you know drums a fake me playing warlitzer keyboard and singing and and you know that's how i like to work and we put the bass on my whole theory is if you can't make it work as a little treato then maybe you need to go back and rewrite the song

Okay.

So I approach it that way, and we get the drums and the bass and the keyboards clear, and then I can bring in guitars and backup vocals and horns.

Army Air Force and U.S.

Naval Air Force did to Osaka and Tokyo disproportionate after what the Japanese did in Nanking and in the Philippines and in Korea in their own Holocaust of other Asians? I don't think so.

I don't think the British were disproportionate in bombing Dresden or shelling Hamburg.

When you attack Israeli civilians and use your own civilian population, women and children, as human shields, and the Israelis are forced to fire back in self-defense, how dare the professional liars of mainstream media misrepresent that as something disproportionate? There are military experts on such things who have said the Israelis have gone to the greatest lengths to minimize civilian casualties.

No, Churchill, Montgomery, and Bonares were not war criminals.

The Nazis were.

The rubble that was made of Osaka and Tokyo happened after Pearl Harbor.

What the Israelis did happened after October 7th.

And in the past, they've had offices in other parts of the world, too, where they've done a lot of building, like in New York and in Tokyo as well.

I actually don't know if the Japan office was in Tokyo or Osaka, so I'll make that correction for myself.

But in terms of the central Pompidou, I think, you know, we really had to be very focused about what we wanted to do.

And I hope that comes across in the film.

So we're in Scotland working on tenants and we read the brief and we just couldn't believe this paragraph in the research.

And it said, in Japan, particularly Tokyo and Osaka, it is the trendiest beer in the coolest bars in Tokyo and Osaka.

Oh my God.

First line of the script was, open on the bullet train coming into Senjuki Station in Tokyo.

What brought you to Japan? Why have you made the move from Germany all the way here?

Well, it's a good opportunity for this because we're in Osaka and my first starting point for Japan was actually in Osaka.

So thank you so much for bringing me out here again.

The thing is, I've always been kind of interested in Japan, right? I was one of those nerdy kids.

Yeah.

And they are doing international internships for people.

And I found an internship placement in Osaka, facilitated by Kyoto University.

Wow.
