Ever since 2015, the relationship between YG and Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) started to get more strained which resulted in the absence of YG artists at the MAMA. The lack of agreement and MAMA’s mistreatment of YG idols only prolonged the issue.

In 2020, MAMA announced to be in promising talks with YG and successfully inviting TREASURE to the event. Two years later, the appearance of YG idols and artists was a clear indicator the two sides made up.

MAMA 2022 grew more exciting now that YG artists were involved in the performance. Somi took the spotlight as the host of the award show and stunned the public by bringing 7 different outfits to the event.

Apart from being the MC, Somi also took charge of the opening stage alongside YGX and YG dancer Lee Jung to perform the nominated songs at the award.

YG took over the central stage to bring out the most spectacular performances of the night and TREASURE also contributed their part with colorful performances. Moreover, the male group also received the “Worldwide Fans’ Choice Top 10”.

Notably, BLACKPINK surprised the audience by making an appearance through an interview with MAMA, especially after a long and difficult relationship between their company and the award show. BLACKPINK also won the Best Female Artist award and Best Music Video award (Pink Venom) although they did not attend the award ceremony, which surprised the group’s fans.
