"MAMA Awards" to Be Held at Kyocera Dome Osaka in November

CJ ENM to Host Two-Day Relay Awards Ceremony
Announces Expanded Programs Under the Theme of "The Power of Music Unites"

CJ ENM announced on March 31 that this year's "MAMA Awards" will be held at Kyocera Dome Osaka in Japan from November 20 to 21. The event will be broadcast live worldwide through digital platforms such as Mnet Plus.

This year's awards ceremony is centered around the core value of "Music Makes ONE," emphasizing the unifying power of music. In addition to the main ceremony, CJ ENM is preparing global fan participation programs that will take place both online and offline.

The "MAMA Awards" originated in 1999 as Mnet's "Video Music Awards" and evolved into Asia's first music awards ceremony in South Korea in 2009. Following a rebranding in 2022, the event solidified its global presence, and in 2024, it became the first K-pop awards ceremony to be held consecutively in both Los Angeles (LA), United States, and Osaka, Japan. Last year, it received the Best General Entertainment Program award at the Asian Academy Creative Awards (AACA), Asia's largest content awards ceremony.

A CJ ENM representative stated, "Building on 27 years of accumulated expertise, we will showcase unique spectacles and new linked programs that only the MAMA Awards can offer."
