Oct 29, 2024

The 'Mama' that raised the board is back.

On the morning of the 29th, a media day event was held at CJ ENM Talent Studio in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, for 2024 'MAMA AWARDS (hereinafter referred to as Mama)."

'Mama' will be held at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, the U.S., on Nov. 21 and at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan, on Nov. 22 and 23. Park Bo-gum will host the U.S. and Kim Tae-ri will host the Japanese performance.

Yoon CP says "Mama"Host plays an important role in letting fans know the value of the ceremony every year. Park Bo-gum and Kim Tae-ri, a trusted actor, are challenging to host the award ceremony for the first time in their lives whenever "Mama" first won the title.

Park Bo-gum said, `I'm happy and excited to be able to decorate a new page. I hope everyone can become one with musicKim Tae-ri said, `I respect all artists and look forward to our time together" left a message.

It is the first time that a K-pop awards ceremony has entered the U.S., the world's No. 1 music market.

That's how much effort was put into the lineup of the cast. SPA ENHYPEN ISILIT INI'VE CAT'S I'VE TOMORROW X TOGETHER Zero Base One Park Jin-young Lee Young-ji Miai Miyao Treasure Tours BB Boy Next Door (Girl) Idle Play G-Dragon Seventeen will be a performing artist.

Lee Young-ji and Playve prepared a special collaboration stage, while ENHYPEN and TOMORROW X TOGETHER Zero Base One formed a band. Izuna, a seven-member girl group formed through the song "I-LAND 2", will also debut. In addition, Anderson Pack, a four-time winner of the Grammy Awards, appeared in 'Mama US' and introduced a 'Mama Superman' system that allows fans to participate in the selection of candidates for the award.

In particular, G-Dragon will be on the stage of 'Mama' for the first time in nine years. In this regard, Yoon CP said that the difference between "Mama" is the beginning of casting. I thought of G-Dragon, who is talking about wanting to meet again through 'Mama'. G-Dragon also expressed his desire to make an impact. I am confident that I will be able to create a legendary stage that will be talked about in the 10th and 20th years once again. G-Dragon is also confident that he can dominate the stage" he said.

However, we are reviewing the theory of the entire Big Bang stage. I'll tell you as soon as it's confirmed.'

In addition, Yoon CP said "Mnet and CJ ENM have been working to expand the influence of K-pop globally. The United States is a very important region as it is the number one music market in the world. It may be difficult, but with a sense of mission that someone needs to enter the U.S., we held Mama. I would like to create another 'Mama' in a mood that can only be shown at the Dolby Theater in the United States. "We are preparing with a heavy but joy, thinking it will be an important step in the growth of K-pop and 'Mama'."

The concept of this year's award ceremony is 'Big Blur'. It means that the world is connected as one by breaking down time and boundaries. It was divided into three parts, but it led to the relay composition, so it wouldn't feel separated. The artist's collaboration stage and conceptual stage will fully satisfy their needs. You want to make your own 'newing'. I want to talk to K-pop fans all over the world about what kind of performances artists enjoy"I was confident.

Recently, many K-pop performances have fallen into a slump in ticket sales after being talked about due to expensive ticket pricing. In response, there was also a 'K-pop crisis theory'.

In this regard, Lee Sun-hyung of the convention business team is "About 200,000 won in Japan. It's the same price as last year. There are many stages that use various new technologies, and 'Mama' is preparing to feel differentiated from other performances. We are preparing for the ceremony on a larger scale. The U.S. is sold out, and Japan expects to sell out as well."

Yoon said, `The most important thing is the global award ceremony, and we will do our best to convey the difference that only 'Mama' has"I'm determined.

'Mama' is broadcast live worldwide on Mnet, Mnet Plus, Mnet K0POP, Mnet TV, etc.
