The pinnacle of global K-pop, '2026 MAMA Awards' lands in Osaka

Asia's most prestigious global K-pop awards ceremony, '2026 MAMA Awards (MAMA AWARDS)', will be held at 'Kyocera Dome' in Osaka, Japan, from November 20 to 21.

This is the third time Osaka has hosted the event—after 2022 and 2024—bringing together fans from around the world once again at the heart of 'Japan's K-pop craze'. Since it launched in 1999 as the 'Mnet Asian Music Awards', the 'MAMA Awards' has marked milestones for South Korea's music industry for 27 years, and this year it promises an innovation that seamlessly blurs the lines between online and offline.

As the organizer, 'CJ ENM' said, "We are pouring all our efforts into creating a new 'turning point' for the awards ceremony," adding that by concentrating its unmatched production expertise, it will deliver 'the very first experience' to global fans—showing its strong ambitions.
