The end of the year is the occasion when award ceremonies are held loudly in kσrєα. Because major award shows like MAMA gather top Kpop stars, they are highly anticipated by fans. However, it seems that this year, MAMA is causing a lot of disappointment for fans.
In particular, one of the topics being discussed a lot on SNS is the kσrєαn media and fans requesting the head of Mnet personally to bring Jungkook to the MAMA. This is due to Jungkook's great influence and the resounding successes of Jungkook. him this year. At the same time, Jungkook's appearance at MAMA will "save" the awards ceremony after not very positive information.
Here's what the kσrєαn media is putting pressure on at Kpop's biggest awards ceremony and what ARMYs are talking about:
Mnet's MAMA is one of the most popular awards ceremonies with domestic and international fans. MAMA Awards has been held for nearly 20 years, and is the most lavishly invested award ceremony among kσrєα's year-end music awards. Not to mention, MAMA is also äṩṩociated with many "unique" collaboration stages between top artists.
This year, CJ ENM announced that the 2023 MAMA Awards will be held in jαpαn. The 2023 MAMA awards ceremony will take place on November 28 and 29 at the Tokyo Dome stadium. This is the first time MAMA takes place at jαpαn's iconic stadium, with a capacity of about 50,000 people. Therefore, it is expected that more famous names will appear.
However, at the recent press conference announcing the organizers of the Mnet Awards, the performing artist lineup of this year's awards ceremony lacked many hot names such as Jungkook, NewJeans, IVE, Stray Kids, aespa... This greatly disappointed the media and fans because it is clear that with the lack of top artists, MAMA will lose its appeal. Moreover, these artists, especially, Jungkook are highly anticipated names for 2023 MAMA.
In particular, during the press conference, kσrєαn media asks the head of Mnet's business department Park Chan Wook personally to bring Jungkook to the MAMA Awards for being a major artist this year. Responding to the media's request, Mr. Park said he was not sure about Jungkook's appearance: "We will officially share an additional announcement if that aspect is decided. It is difficult to say at the moment.”
This quickly raised questions for fans about why MAMA failed to invite artists when the scale of the awards ceremony was not small. Many people even commented that now, when Kpop has surpäṩṩed kσrєαn territory to achieve global coverage in many ways, do they still need the MAMA stage?
Meanwhile, ARMYs evaluated Jungkook's influence on this event:
- Jungkook the pride of kσrєα. Everyone wants him to perform, their is only one of him
- They said bring Jungkook we ain't playing here. I hope it will be possible
- It sucks because it's clear everyone wants jungkook to perform, but I don't think it'll happen.
- kσrєαn media want Jungkook SO BAD
- If he attends they better treat him like the KING he is. And get him those big bucks. We know how sh̾i̾t ̾ty their management is, and if he has to deal with that I'll throw hands
- Whether Jungkook enters the awards or not, his recognition by these entities leaves no doubt of his influence and impact internationally. King's Supremacy.
- He wasn't in list and all media articles about cermony naming him on titles
- The dots are connecting now, the king himself is the most wanted performer for all the music shows
- I want to see him perform one last time before he goes it will be unforgettable
- Jungkook the pride of kσrєα. The pride of music industry. The pride of world. So proud of you Jungkook
