The Mnet Asian Music Awards (commonly abbreviated as a MAMA), is one of the major K-pop music award ceremonies being held annually in South Korea, involving the participation of some of the most well-known actors and idols, by Mnet Media. As one of the most important events in the South Korean music industry, it has been attended by many well-known and most successful K-Pop acts such as Bi Rain, TVXQ, Super Junior, Girls' Generation, Big Bang, 2NE1, Wonder Girls, EXO and other artists musically active in South Korea.
The awards began in 1999 under the name "M.net KM Music Festival" (MKMF), till 2008.In 2009, the award was changed to "M.net Asian Music Awards". This marked the new change in concept and the way they will handle how people may vote for which artist wins the award. The 2009 MAMA's was broadcast live in China, Japan, Hong Kong, and South-east Asia through Channel V International. The special main event is the "Global Artist Award." In addition, a trot award will be added to the genre along with other pop music awards.
For the first time, the 2010 M.net Asian Music Festival was held outside of South Korea. For the 12th annual event, it was held at the Venetian Resort Macao in Macao, China airing live in many countries. BoA won the "Best Female Solo Award" but was not present to accept the award due to SM Entertainment's (BoA's music agency) controversies with Mnet Media. The award presentation was not broadcast. In addition, CN Blue who won "Best New Male Group Award", 2AM, who won "Best Vocal Performance by a Group", and 2AM's Jo Kwon and Ga In, who won "Best Collaboration" were also not broadcast due to attendance.
