The end of the year is always the time when award ceremonies are held continuously to honor artists' musical achievements throughout the year. One of the most anticipated events in recent days is the MTV EMAs 20233 awards ceremony held in Paris.
Although the EMAs previously announced that Jungkook would be present to perform at the event, he ended up not being able to perform next month. This made many fans feel disappointed, but after considering the reasons from the organizers, they all understood that it was a legitimate thing.
Here's what has to do with Jungkook's performance at this year's EMAs being canceled:
On October 7, the Organizing Committee of the MTV EMAs 2023 announced the performing artists for the 2023 European Music Awards (EMA) in Paris (which will take place on November 5). In the announced list, Jungkook was announced as one of the artists who will officially perform at the EMAs awards ceremony.
At this year's MTV EMAs, Jungkook was present in 3 nominations for Song Of The Year (Seven), Best K-pop, Biggest Fans. Equally, since Jungkook is scheduled to release his solo album "Golden" on November 3, many fans are speculating that the youngest member of BTS may perform the new song for the first time on stage at the MTV EMAs 2023.
Therefore, more than ever, fans from all over the world are eagerly awaiting Jungkook's appearance and this event. However, on October 20 (kσrєαn time), fans suddenly received information that there would not be any performances by Jungkook at this year's EMAs event. This is because the awards ceremony has been decided by the organizers to cancel!
MTV EMA announced the show's cancellation via an emergency announcement on its official website as well as its Twitter account. The reason for the event's cancellation was the consequences of the w@r between Israel and the Palestinian arm3d faction Hamas. Organizers said: "The MTV EMAs are an annual celebration of global music. As we watch the devastat1ng events in Israel and Gaza continue to unfold, this does not feel like a moment for a global celebration. With thousands of lives already lost, it is a moment of m0urning."
In addition, the representative of the awards ceremony also emphasized: "Given the volatility of world events, we have decided not to move forward with the 2023 MTV EMAs out of an abundance of caution for the thousands of employees, crew members, artists, fans, and partners who travel from all corners of the world to bring the show to life."
Meanwhile, the event's organizers still affirm that online voting by fans to choose the winner continues to be conducted. Along with that, they pointed out that the artists selected in each category will receive awards from the MTV EMA later. Therefore, all achievements of the artists will not be affected due to the event's cancellation.
Although fans regret not being able to witness Jungkook's great performance at this event, considering the current tense war situation, fans understand that canceling the event is a necessity. Along with that, fans believe that Jungkook will win big victories this season.
Previously, Jungkook also made history when he became the first kσrєαn solo artist to win the Song Of Summer category at the MTV VMAs!
