This year’s Mnet “MAMA Awards” will be held in Japan’s Tokyo Dome
Mnet confirmed on the 21st that the “2023 MAMA Awards” will be held at the Tokyo Dome in Japan from November 28th to 29th, stating that it is the first time a domestic award ceremony has entered the Tokyo Dome.
The Tokyo Dome is a large-scale performance venue that can accommodate around 50,000 people, often referred to as the dream stage for artists.
The MAMA Awards have been held in various Asian locations, including Macau, Singapore, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Japan. Following last year’s event at the Kyocera Dome Osaka, this year’s event will be held in Tokyo Dome, making it two consecutive years in Japan.
The concept of this year’s MAMA Awards is “원 아이 본(ONE I BORN).” It signifies the meeting of the one (I) and MAMA, representing a perfect unity through positive energy, as the one (I) with infinite possibilities encounters MAMA.
CJ ENM aims to showcase the true power of ‘Music Makes ONE,’ uniting people around the world through music.
This year’s MAMA Awards is expected to offer a variety of attractions, from groundbreaking performances expressing one’s limitless potential to stages that highlight each artist’s unique personality, as well as interactive performances that resonate with K-pop fans. You can check out this year’s MAMA Awards concept on the teaser page of the Mnet Plus app, which will be unveiled on the same day. The ceremony will be broadcast live through major digital channels, including YouTube.
Sim Jun-beom, Head of CJ ENM’s Music Content Division, said, “As the best K-pop artists chosen by fans worldwide are awarded, it will serve as a platform where people who love music can participate and unite, transcending borders, races, and generations.”
The MAMA Awards began as the Mnet Video Music Awards in 1999 and was rebranded as MAMA in 2009, expanding its stage to Asia. In response to changes in the global music market last year, it underwent rebranding and became the MAMA Awards.
