Today (27th), the organizer CJ ENM announced its official stance following an emergency meeting, confirming the MAMA AWARDS will proceed. However, it has been previewed that this will be a special awards ceremony that goes beyond a simple celebration to deliver ‘comfort and hope’, making the outcome even more anticipated.

This year's MAMA AWARDS is expected to transcend a simple awards ceremony, carrying a genuine message of comfort conveyed through music.
📍 Controversy and Background: Why We Chose to Proceed Instead of Canceling
The high-rise apartment fire in Hong Kong's Tai Po district has claimed 55 lives and left 279 missing, causing profound shock and grief locally. The fire site is located approximately 20km from Kai Tak Stadium, where the awards ceremony is scheduled.
Amid heightened local mourning, cancellation seemed likely, but CJ ENM decided to proceed after discussing various options.
* Artist Scheduling Issues: With top-tier domestic and international artists already departed and rehearsals underway, cancellation was practically unfeasible.
* Responsible Conclusion: CJ ENM stated, “We will fulfill our responsibility to the end and do our utmost,” reaffirming their commitment to deliver courage to audiences and fans through music.
Despite the controversy, this decision is interpreted as an expression of responsibility by K-POP artists and producers to utilize the inherent power of music to comfort those facing difficult circumstances.
