MAMA had always been a big night for K-pop idols. Stunning stages, dazzling outfits, and countless interactions between groups were bound to make headlines. Enhypen had just wrapped up their jaw-dropping performance when a staff member approached their dressing room.
“Sunoo-ssi, you’re needed for the award skit rehearsal,” the staff said.
Sunoo, mid-bite of his snack, perked up. “A skit? Me? What kind of skit?”
“It’s a small segment for the Best Couple award announcement,” the staff explained. “You’ll just act out a playful couple argument. Here’s the script.”
Curious, the rest of Enhypen crowded around Sunoo as he read the lines aloud:
"I told you not to call me 'hey' when we fight. What kind of 'hey' are you talking about? Don’t be like that—just call me Honey or Jagiya."
The room fell silent for two beats before chaos erupted.
Jay: “Wait, wait, wait! Who’s the other half of this ‘couple’?!”
Jake: “And why does it sound like the most romantic line ever?!”
Heeseung: “Does this mean someone else gets to call you Jagiya? No way.”
Sunoo sighed, holding up his hands. “Guys, it’s just a skit. Calm down.”
“Calm down?!” Jungwon asked, eyes wide. “Hyung, do you realize how many people are going to be watching this? Everyone will start thinking you’re someone else’s Jagiya!”
“Exactly!” Sunghoon said, crossing his arms. “If anyone should be calling you Jagiya, it’s one of us.”
The youngest, Ni-ki, piped up smugly. “Don’t worry, hyungs. Everyone knows I’m Sunoo’s favorite anyway.”
This set off a flurry of protests, with the members arguing over who was the most deserving of the coveted Jagiya title. Sunoo rolled his eyes but couldn’t help smiling at their antics.
The Skit at MAMA
Fast forward to the award show, and Sunoo was dressed to perfection, ready to perform the skit on stage. As the lights dimmed, the audience buzzed with anticipation.
Sunoo delivered his lines with flawless emotion:
"I told you not to call me 'hey' when we fight. What kind of 'hey' are you talking about? Don’t be like that—just call me Honey or Jagiya."
The crowd erupted in cheers, completely charmed by his delivery. Sunoo’s natural flair and charisma shone, and he looked every bit the romantic lead.
Backstage, however, was a different story.
The members watched from the wings, seething with jealousy.
Jay: “Did you hear that?! He said it so perfectly. That’s my Jagiya up there!”
Jake: “Yours? He said it to everyone. It was practically a love confession to the entire audience!”
Sunghoon: “Nope. This isn’t happening. We’re claiming him after the show.”
Even Jungwon, usually the calm and collected leader, was muttering, “How did I let this happen? I should’ve been the one on stage with him.”
Meanwhile, Ni-ki stood confidently, arms crossed. “I don’t need to fight. Sunoo already calls me his baby.”
“You wish!” Jake shot back, and the backstage area descended into playful bickering.
The K-Pop World Reacts
As expected, the skit became the talk of the night. Fans and idols alike couldn’t stop gushing about Sunoo’s delivery. Hashtags like #SunooJagiya and #CallMeHoney trended worldwide.
Twice’s Chaeyoung: “Sunoo owns the word ‘Jagiya’ now. Sorry, everyone.”
TXT’s Beomgyu: “Enhypen, are you okay? Do you need help?”
Even the fans got in on the fun:
“Who gave Sunoo permission to flirt with the entire audience?!”
“The duality of Sunoo: angel, devil, and now romantic lead!”
“The real fight is happening backstage. Who’s winning the Jagiya war, ENGENEs?”
After the Show
Back in their dressing room, Sunoo was greeted with an exaggerated standing ovation from his members.
Heeseung: “Jagiya Sunoo, everyone!”
Jay: “How does it feel knowing the entire industry wants to call you Honey?”
Sunoo groaned, plopping onto the couch. “You’re all insufferable.”
“Maybe,” Jake said with a grin, “but you didn’t deny it when I called you Jagiya just now.”
Sunoo threw a pillow at him, laughing. “That’s enough out of you.”
Sunghoon: “But seriously, Sunoo, out of all of us, who’s your real Jagiya?”
The room fell silent as everyone leaned in, awaiting his answer. Sunoo smirked, leaning back with a teasing glint in his eye.
“I guess you’ll just have to keep fighting for it,” he said, leaving the room in a whirlwind of groans and protests.
The world might’ve been fighting over who deserved to call Sunoo Jagiya, but one thing was clear: Enhypen was willing to go to war for the title, and fans loved every second of the chaos.
