Inkigayo decorated as a Waikiki shipboard party

The scene that caught everyone's attention in this broadcast was the stage by rookie group Kiki. Kiki, who decorated their stage with a summer song capturing the retro vibes of 2010, received praise from the MCs. In particular, when an MC asked what they were doing back then after hearing the explanation that they were singing about the emotions of 2010, Kiki made the scene erupt in laughter by replying, "I was born on December 18, 2010, so I haven't even lived through two weeks of 2010."

Kiki's witty answer, "I didn't live in 2010"

The stage was filled with the diverse colors of the artists. NAOZ presented a stage for 'Achilles,' reinterpreting 80s funk and disco sounds, while KISS OF LIFE filled the stage with a new song in the Afrobeat genre. KISS OF LIFE member Big Naughty explained the meaning of the song, stating, "It contains pride and confidence regarding the sweat we shed ourselves."

A stage where hot energy and refreshing vibes coexist

Refreshing stages followed. The festival stage by youth band AMP and the stage by singer-songwriter Jung Eun-ji added to the coolness of summer. In addition, artists with different charms such as Stray Kids, NAOZ, WayV, Weve, and Arti appeared to complete a rich lineup of performances.
