2NE1's performance
2NE1's surprise performance at the award ceremony was met with considerable media attention. Following the conclusion of CL's "Hello Bitches", the rest of the group suddenly appeared onstage and reunited to perform "Fire" and "I Am the Best". Because of Park Bom's hiatus following her scandal from 2014, it was the group's first performance in a year and would be ultimately their last before their disbandment in 2016.
Although the group's performance was met with generally negative reactions from netizens in South Korea, it was well-received internationally, with Fuse naming it as one of the best performances of 2015 worldwide alongside those of Beyoncé and Madonna. Cosmopolitan Philippines and SBS PopAsia named it one of the most unforgettable performances in MAMA history.
