About MAMA AWARDS
Presented by leading entertainment company CJ ENM, MAMA AWARDS is the World’s No.1 K-POP Awards, acclaimed by fans around the world for its gigantic performances and elaborate stage production, which has introduced Korea’s top-notch production abilities to global audiences. Each year, MAMA AWARDS attracts the biggest artists in music from Asia, like BTS, TWICE, MONSTA X, and Stray Kids, as well as worldwide superstars including Janet Jackson, Snoop Dogg and Dua Lipa. MAMA’s legacy began in 1999, as the Mnet Music Video Daesang, and then later became the Mnet KM Music Festival (MKMF), sparking the growth of the Korean music industry. In 2009, MKMF was renamed to Mnet ASIAN MUSIC AWARDS and in 2022 it rebranded into MAMA AWARDS in alignment with its ambition to expand globally and position itself as the World’s No.1 K-POP Awards. In 2010, the massive award show began touring Asia each year, starting in Macau and Singapore. MAMA AWARDS has been held in Hong Kong since 2012, highlighting the event’s pan-Asian popularity. Starting with 2018, the ceremony expanded its previously one-day event to span across multiple Asian countries to promote exchanges between different Asian music markets. Not only has MAMA AWARDS become a significant year-end music awards ceremony, it has also blossomed into an extravagant international music event packed with groundbreaking performances.
