YouTuber Reveals Reason NewJeans Didn't Attend MAMA Awards 2023
On November 28-29, the annual MAMA Awards was held at the Tokyo Dome in Japan to acknowledge the achievements of K-pop idols in 2023.
The two-day event was participated by a star-studded lineup of artists. Sadly, NewJeans didn't attend the ceremony.
The quintet won two daesangs (grand prize): "Song of the Year" and "Artist of the Year"; thus, fans immediately wondered why they didn't go, let alone send their speech through a pre-recorded video.
He added:
"It was said that CEO Min Hee Jin, who watched the entire process, was very heartbroken."
Since then, NewJeans has appeared on all music broadcasts but "M Countdown" music show.
