On the 17th, the MAMA organizer CJ E&M announced: "This year's awards ceremony will continue to be held in Hong Kong." They also stated that this year marks the sixth year since MAMA transformed from a domestic South Korean music awards ceremony into an international one, and this grand event, which brings joy to music fans worldwide, will be even more spectacular this year.
Relevant personnel also explained the reasons for choosing to hold the awards ceremony in Hong Kong for three consecutive years: "Hong Kong is a world-renowned metropolis and one of the places with the highest transient population. Through hosting the ceremony in Hong Kong over the past two years, we have accumulated significant local technical experience, so we decided to hold it there again."
MAMA began in 1999 as the Mnet KM Music Video Festival and was held continuously within South Korea for nearly a decade. Starting with its successful debut in Macau in 2010, this most prestigious music ceremony in all of Asia was officially born.
