This event was a part of the channel's "ToToTo Campaign" for it's long term veiwers, and 1600 viewers were chosen through a raffle to attend for free. The first half of the event was titled "Always, More, Mnet's Viewer Thanks Festival" and was broadcasted live on Mnet, and along with live performances by groups such as SM☆SH, Infinite Boys (無限男子, note: completely separate from Infinite), and Girl's Day, there were extravagant events that took place such as a raffle where a viewer could win a one-on-one dinner with the guest actor, Im Juhwan.

The second portion of the event was a public recording of Mnet's popular music show "K-Pop Zone", which is MCed by Supernova's Kwangsoo and Jihyuk, with appearances by TEENTOP and Girl's Day. TEENTOP, who already has a Japanese fanclub, has much expected from them for their Japaense debut, and they enthusiastically performed songs such as "Supa Luv" from their second Single Album "Transform" that was released in January. Girl's Day, who have been gathering much attention for being given a regular program, "Girl's Day's Sparkling Slim", despite only debuting last year, have been doing street performances since even before their debut, and even while singing powerfully they showed off their amazing dancing and got the crowd excited.

Mnet is a channel that focuses on Korean music, and can even be called the 'Korean MTV.' It's viewable in Japan with Skapa! and CATV. Recently the same company's music program 'M Countdown' has been broadcasted on BS Digital, and they also show the drama "Sungkyunkwan Scandal" quicker than anywhere else. It's a channel with many original programs and dramas new to Japan, a complete must-watch as they claim to be able to find the K-Pop Artists and K-dramas that will make a big break next. They also have amazing programs such as "35 Hours of Touhoushinki, One Shot Broadcast Special" which will be shown in March.

In addition, the backstage of that day's event "Always, More, Mnet's Viewer Thanks Festival" will be shown on 3/19 (Sat) from midnight, and the behind the scenes recording of "K-Pop Zone" will be shown with TEENTOP's part on 3/21 (Mon) and Girl's Day's part on 3/28 (Mon), both starting at 6pm, and a first for Mnet (each will have repeat broadcasts).
