Korea’s representative global K-POP awards ceremony, the “2026 MAMA AWARDS,” has released its main teaser video, announcing the opening of a super-large festival that transcends time and space. Today (the 21st), CJ ENM released the main teaser video for the “2026 MAMA AWARDS,” further heightening expectations. This time’s main concept is “A MUSIC INTERSTELLAR.” It depicts an unimaginable musical journey that moves back and forth between K-pop’s past, present, and future. Artists from various generations and genres will all appear, and they are scheduled to present collaborations and iconic stages of an “all-generation” that runs through K-pop’s history. In particular, at this awards ceremony to be held at Kyocera Dome Osaka, they plan to present innovative stage direction that will raise the audience’s sense of immersion. According to the production team, by aligning the height of the artist seats with the audience’s eye level, they will not only reduce the physical and psychological distance, but also introduce a 360-degree stage so that from any angle the view will not be obstructed and the artists can be interacted with at a close distance. They will mobilize all of Mnet’s stage production know-how accumulated over about 30 years. A CJ ENM official said, “In an era when the ways of enjoying music and preferences are becoming more segmented, this year’s ‘MAMA AWARDS’ wants to remove the boundaries and walls between generations and deliver a special moment in which music fans around the world deeply resonate with one another in one language called music.” The “2026 MAMA AWARDS” will be held over two days, Friday, November 20 and Saturday, November 21. Prior to the main performance, from Monday, November 9, the first-ever on-offline linked event in history, “MAMA FAN FESTA,” will be held throughout Osaka and on Mnet Plus. • From TWICE’s Nayeon to ENHYPEN and NCT WISH, a glamorous lineup!
