This year, Asia's top music awards ceremony, the "Mnet Asian Music Awards (hereinafter MAMA)," which unites through music, will be held non-face-to-face.

CJ ENM, an entertainment & lifestyle company, announced today (21st) that "2020 MAMA" will be held in Korea on December 6th.

MAMA, the global music awards ceremony hosted by CJ ENM, began in 1999 as the Mnet "Video Music Grand Prize" and was reborn as MAMA in 2009, taking its current form.

MAMA, a global music festival that integrates CJ's cultural power and technology, and has showcased innovative stages every year, will be newly held this year as the first "non-face-to-face awards ceremony."

Attention is focused on what form MAMA, which has differentiated itself through initiatives like "MAMA WEEK" touring three regions in Asia and holding events at dome stadiums with a capacity of 40,000 spectators, will unveil in its first non-face-to-face event this year. As an event that has led trends with innovative performances every year, it is also a point of interest whether it can set another milestone this year. 

A CJ ENM representative stated, "MAMA, Asia's top music awards ceremony, has continuously evolved through innovative attempts. We see this year's non-face-to-face event as another new opportunity.

We will prepare the best stage based on the technology and know-how accumulated so far, and prepare to shine as a truly top global music festival," they conveyed.

MAMA, the global music awards ceremony, is the result of CJ's firm belief in cultural business and persistent investment. It has established itself beyond a mere year-end music awards ceremony as the largest music festival for global music fans to enjoy together, a platform for the spread of Asian popular music, and a window for global communication among musicians.
