Marking its 12th anniversary this year, the MMA is South Korea's largest pop music festival featuring the nation's top singers who have shone in the year. For 2020, as it is carried out online to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, it will be a warm award ceremony where fans and artists can communicate more closely and anyone across the world can feel the heat of K-Pop. Expectations are rising even more as BTS, who has been busier than anyone else this year, announced their attendance at the 'MMA 2020'.
Attention is focusing on what kind of unique performance BTS will surprise audiences around the world in the ceremony. The performances BTS has shown at the MMA in the previous years have captivated music fans around the world, and are still being talked about as a legend.
At the 'MMA 2019', BTS won a total of eight awards, including four grand prizes (daesang), including Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Record of the Year, as well as the Global Artist, Kakao Hot Star Award, Netizen Popularity Award and Male Dance Award.
At the 'MMA 2018', BTS stirred the world with their Korean traditional music version of 'IDOL', featuring Korean customs and traditional Korean dance. In 2019, they presented colorful stage productions and seven performances by each member, adding to the enthusiasm of the award ceremony.
The 'MMA 2020' is easy to participate and enjoy through various online channels such as Melon App/Web, Kakao Talk #Kakao TV Tab and YouTube Channel. Details can be found on Melon announcements and official SNS accounts.
