BIGBANG Dominated 2015, What About MAMA?

Group BIGBANG is going to Hong Kong.

On the 18th, CJ E&M announced that “BIGBANG is planning a spectacular performance for 2015 MAMA (Mnet Asian Music Awards).”

BIGBANG’s attendance at MAMA has been a hot issue. Last month, a report came out thatYG Entertainment artists’ attendances were unclear, and this was because, at the time,Mnet stated that “We are still in the stage of planning. We will try our best to work with the most successful artists of this year to create an amazing event,” announcing that nothing had been decided for BIGBANG.

And after CNBLUE, BTS, GOT7, and Zion.T were announced in the 1st line-up announcement, the absence of BIGBANG in the line-up heightened worries. This year was often referred to as the year of BIGBANG, and thus concerns grew around the issue. But as BIGBANG’s attendance was confirmed, MAMA was able to formulate a more substantial line-up.

This year, from May to October, BIGBANG has had immense success and popularity as they released albums ‘M’, ‘A’, ‘D’, ‘E’ each month. They achieved all-kills with new tracks ‘BANGBANG BANG’, ‘LOSER’, ‘IF YOU’, and ‘SOBER’. BIGBANG’s power was confirmed through the 2015 MelOn Music Awards (MMA) that took place on the 7th this month. They stood as the spotlight of this year’s music industry by receiving four awards such as Best Song of the Year for ‘BANG BANG BANG’ and Best Artist of the Year.

Additionally, as they finished up their world tour, their status in the music industry substantially grew. New York Times praised BIGBANG saying “BIGBANG’s concert proved that America’s absolute influence on pop industry is diminishing.”

BIGBANG is set to end their successful year with their MAMA performance. In the numerous times they attended, BIGBANG has good memories from the ceremony. In 2012, they received the Best Artist of the Year Award, and the following year, G-Dragon received the Best Music Video Award, Best Male Artist, Best Dance Performance Male Solo, and the Best Artist of the Year, one of the three biggest awards. Last year, Taeyang received the Song of the Year Award with ‘Eyes Nose Lips’, along with Best Male Vocal Performance and  Best Male Artist, in total three awards. With every new release a hit song, there is much expectation that BIGBANG will be the star of the event.

The 7th Annual MAMA will take place on December 2nd at AWE (Asia World-Expo Arena) in Hong Kong.
