The Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) came to an end Saturday, but unfortunately, there were some shortcomings despite it being called Asia's best music award event.
The much-anticipated event was held at Jamsil Indoor Stadium, with young fans lined up near the entrances in hopes of catching a glimpse of some of their favorite K-pop singers.
Mnet Media scrapped its 10-year Mnet KM Music Festival (MKMF) in October, announcing that it was bringing an upgraded music event for not only fans in Korea, but throughout Asia as well. While the overall show was entertaining, it failed to truly captivate fans with its results and concept.
The red carpet entrance was a good way to kick off the six-hour event, with female singers donning stylish outfits, mostly in black, some in fur and others in leather.
MAMA offered eight main stages, or ``waves,'' each with special concepts and performances.
The first wave, ``Asian Fever,'' featured Drunken Tiger, who later won the Best Male Solo Artist. The award for the Best Female Solo Artist went to Baek Ji-young. The Best New Male Artist went to the Supreme Team, while 2NE1 won the Best New Female Artist, and two other awards eventually, including the Best Music Video and, one of the grand prizes, the Best Song of the Year for ``I Don't Care.''
The second wave, ``Girls x Girls,'' featured top girl groups the Brown Eyed Girls, which won the Best Female Group and Best House & Electronic awards, and KARA, which won Best Dance.
Seo In-gook, the winner of the Mnet's popular reality program, ``Superstar K,'' also performed in the third wave, ``Super Stardom,'' while the fourth wave, ``21st Street,'' featured the girl group 2NE1 performing in a short musical skit. The stage was decorated like a small village with shops and a two-story house, which was where Park Bom sang her solo number ``You And I.'' The musical was lively with the members singing ``I Don't Care,'' with a chorus line twist, but the signboards were embarrassing, misspelling a couple of words, including ``coffee.''
After former g.o.d. member Kim Tae-woo received the Best Ballad/R&B award, the stage made way for the Best Asian Star, TVXQ. The first official appearance of the three members Xiah, Micky and Hero since the dispute with their agency started surprised fans for two reasons: one was because the group's agency SM Entertainment boycotted the event citing flaws in the judging system and the second was because they appeared without the other two members. The three members are currently engaged in a legal dispute with SM regarding their contracts and cosmetic business.
``We are very happy as the award was given by our Asian fans. For our fans, and also our two friends who may be watching this somewhere, we would like to say that we love you,'' Hero said.
The fifth wave ``Free to the Women'' brought an exciting lineup of female rappers, while the sixth wave ``World of Temptation'' captivated fans and singers with a vampire-inspired stage featuring sexy singer Ivy and 2PM's Nichkhun.
Park Jin-young, the creator of the Wonder Girls, also made a special appearance to receive the Best Asian Composer award.
Big Bang members Tae-yang and G-Dragon rocked the seventh wave, ``Korean Dream,'' dressed in black and white with impressive dance moves. The last wave was a tribute to veteran singer Sim Soo-bong, who was the first singer to make it to the MAMA Hall of Fame. Singers Kim Tae-woo, Epik High and Seo In-young sang some of Sim's best songs, while all the singers came on stage to congratulate the singer.
Along with 2NE1's win for Song of the Year, the other two grand prizes went to G-Dragon for Album of the Year and 2PM for Artist of the Year.
``Thank you, Jae-beom. I know you're watching. We love you,'' Chan-sung said in tears, referring to the group's leader who left the group after being criticized for his comments he made of Korea when he was a trainee. Fans also expressed their excitement and sorrow by screaming out Jae-beom and the group's name.
The event ended with Tiger JK from Drunken Tiger promising a bigger event next year and, indeed, MAMA needs improvements to live up to expectations.
The event did surprise fans with congratulatory messages from famous singers, including Janet Jackson, Lady Gaga, the Black Eyed Peas and even Nicole Scherzinger from the Pussycat Dolls.
However, despite the title, there was nothing Asian about MAMA. No Asian singers other than ones from Korea were nominated in even one of the main 19 categories, nor were there any foreign artists performing on the local stage, except for two short performances by Asian Recommended winners Bang Bang Tang from China, which was carried out in Chinese with no subtitles, and Japanese group AKB 48 in Japan.
Along with frequent camera mistakes, the event did not include some of the most popular groups, including Girls' Generation and Super Junior, while famous trot singers such as Jang Yoon-jeong and Park Hyun-bin also boycotted the event, questioning the fairness in selecting candidates for the newly established Best Trot award.
The launch of the new event this year seemed like a teaser trailer, full of catchy acts and sequences, minus some key players and reasonable ratings. According to Mnet Media, MAMA will be held in different regions in Asia next year. Perhaps this will help the event live up to expectations as Asia's best music awards, but for now, it has a long way to go.

On the night of the 21st of November 2009, one of Korea’s music media channel, Mnet, held the Mnet Asia Music Awards ceremony, and invited Hero Jaejoong, Xiah Junsu and Micky Yoochun of Dong Bang Shin Ki to receive the ‘Best Asia Star Award.’ While delivering their thankful speeches, Yoochun said, “I’m grateful for everyone’s support.” Jaejoong said with teary eyes, “I want to thank the fans from all over Asia, and our two friends who were not able to attend. I would like to say, I love you all.” Dong Bang Shin Ki’s fans from all over the world left comments on their forums after seeing this scene, and they expressed that the three’s speeches touched them deeply, and made them tearful.
On the other hand, the group who won ‘Best Artist of the Year’ and ‘Best Male Group’ was 2PM; they also had tears in their eyes while receiving the awards onstage, and expressed their wishes for the return of their leader Jaebeom.

Last night's MAMA, hosted by Mnet, was certainly a feast for numerous Kpop fans out there. However, as enjoyable as it was, the event was (and still is) swamped with layers of controversy, with SM Entertainment's boycott being the eye of the storm. Mnet and SME appear to be mortal enemies, but many still remember the fact that they used to be very friendly with each other. Exactly what made them become such bitter adversaries? Let's examine the dispute between Mnet and SME.
What exactly is Mnet?
Mnet is a media company owned by CJ Media which focuses on music, media, entertainment and web content business. CJ Media is a part of CJ, a South Korean conglomerate that is one of the top five largest companies in the country. Mnet is involved in pretty much every aspect of the entertainment industry, ranging from album production, distribution, sales, management, television broadcasting, online media and many other businesses. With these expansion, Mnet has become a giant in music industry, with market share of 44% in album sales and over 20% in online music sales.
Mnet and CJ are also shareholders in major entertainment companies DSP Entertainment and YG Entertainment. Although they own no more than 20% of shares from each company, the fact that CJ is a conglomerate means the aforementioned companies are now affiliates of CJ. Smaller entertainment companies with famous names such as Shinwha, Kim Dong Ryul and Wheesung are "affiliates" of CJ as well. Similarly, 30% of JYP Entertainment is held by SK, another conglomerate that is one of top 5 largest companies in Korea, making JYP a faction with as much support as Mnet has.
How has SME and Mnet's relationship developed over the years?
Before 2008, SME and Mnet were quite friendly. MKMF, now known as MAMA, featured numerous artists from SME which were given many awards. However, during 2008, Mnet proposed to SME that they would like to be the distributor of music produced by SME; in return, Mnet would receive certain percentage of profit from the sales. Mnet had already been distributing music of JYP, DSP and YG, and with the right to distribute SME's music they would become undisputed leader in the industry. SME refused the offer as they had the ability to distribute their own music and did not feel the need to pay Mnet for a job that they could do themselves. Mnet undoubtedly held a grudge against SME for obstructing their dominance of the industry, and the friendship ended there.
CJ has also attempted hostile takeover of SME but failed. If they had been successful, CJ would have acquired control of Korean entertainment industry. These facts have not been well-publicized, until recent controversy involving SME and MAMA have brought the public's attention to the relationship between the two parties. With SNSD's Gee and MAMA, we have now witnessed the nature of their relationship.
How does MAMA play into this tense relationship between SME and Mnet?
One of the biggest controversies brought on by MAMA was the fact that the three members of TVXQ, Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu, made their appearance for acceptance of Best Representative of Asia Award. Although some may argue that SME's outrage was uncalled for, and that the trio is free to do whatever they want, the choice to make an appearance at an Mnet event was deliberate and could not have been a spontaneous, wanton decision.
So what's the significance behind TVXQ's appearance?
Many have suspected that the three members were able to act in such bold manner against SME in recent months because they were being supported by an organization more powerful than SME. With their unabashed appearance at MAMA, it now appears that Mnet and CJ might be the ones that have the three members' back. It is very possible that CJ and Mnet are backing the three members in order to win their fight against SME for dominance in the industry. If that is so, then TVXQ members have become mere pawns in a battle between two corporations.
SME, a company now known for its oppressive, big-corporate attitude towards its artists, is ironically under attack from one of the largest corporations in Korea. Both companies are profit-motivated organizations that are pursuing whatever action that generates more profit, so there is no good or bad in a situation like this. What is unfortunate, however, is that the artists have become the victims in this corporate power struggle. TVXQ, SNSD, and SHINee are all victims in this dispute between SME and CJ/Mnet; MAMA could merely have been the beginning of penance for these artists.

TVXQ members Youngwoong Jaejoong, Xiah Junsu and Micky Yoochun showed up at the Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) as promised and delivered a very heartwarming acceptance speech.
On the 21st, TVXQ was awarded the "Best Representative for Asia" award.
Xiah Junsu stated:
"It's been a long time. It's an honor just to be able to attend such a huge event, but being able to receive an award, thank you so much. This award is not for one single member, but because all 5 members have put forth so much effort we are able to receive it. Thank you so much to all of our fans in Asia for allowing us to receive such a huge award."
Micky Yoochun stated:
"I think this is the first time I've wanted to sing so badly. After becoming a singer, I was able to meet such great members, that's why I think we are able to be here. We will work even harder to expand beyond Asia. We hope for even more support than now."
Youngwoong Jaejoong stated:
"I can't be happier because this award is coming directly from the fans of Asia. To our fans who are watching and possibly our two friends who are watching, I wanted to say that I love you."
Although Changmin and Yunho were unable to attend due to SM Entertainment's boycott of the MAMA's, all three members, especially Jaejoong made it clear that TVXQ is still as close as ever.
At 9pm Seoul time, MAMA broadcasted a video of DBSK in Asia, followed by the award "best representative for asia". The crowd obviously went crazy. Jaechunsu wearing grey suits with black shirts entered from stage left (i.e. they were not sitting with the other singers/contestants). Junsu started his speech, being very cautious with words, and hiding his usual wide silly grin. Next was Yoochun. Jaejoong went last, as soon as he started speaking, his voice trembled and he tried to stop himself from tearing. But in the end, he could not hold back the tears esp when he said "to my two friends who may be watching this on tv right now, saranghae" ...
whenever the three mentioned the word "members", the crowd cheered. After the trio left the stage, the fans cheered Miduhyo (i think).

YoungWoong Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun and Xiah Junsu will be starting their individual activities.
The three TVXQ members have decided to attend cable channel Mnet’s ‘Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA)’ at the Seoul Janshil Indoor Gymnasium on the 21st at 7 pm. The three will be greeting fans 4 months after they filed the exclusive contracts suspension request and one month after they were granted freedom to pursue individual activities by the Courts.
Lawyer Lim Sang Hyuk, who is representing the three members, stated in a phone conversation with reporters that, “We are aware that Mnet contacted the three members numerous times, and after long consideration, the three members have decided to attend the event.”
Lawyer Lim stated, “The Courts have already ruled that ‘SM must not interfere with any individual activities that the members of TVXQ want to pursue’ so there is no problem with the three members attending the event,” and “The decision to attend was their own choice.”
The Seoul District Courts partially accepted the exclusive contract suspension request submitted by YoungWoong Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun and Xiah Junsu, therefore the members are allowed to pursue celebrity related, and unrelated activities freely until the verdict of the lawsuit.
Lawyer Lim Sang Hyuk stated, “Although our stance has become completely different from that of the agency, we still hope that the three members will be able to pursue activities with U-Know Yunho and Choikang Changmin,” and “The same hopes apply to the MAMA stage.”
However, it seems hard for all five members to perform activities together for now. Also, SM is currently boycotting ‘MAMA’ and it seems almost impossible for the five to perform together.
The three members of TVXQ started their individual activities with the first Kpop awards of the end of the year ‘MAMA’ and many are wondering what they will show us next.

Date: 16 November
Time: 3.23pm
On the 16th, it was revealed by Mnet's office that they have invited TVXQ, whose members are in the midst of a legal dispute with their management company, to attend their year-end awards "Mnet Asian Music Award" (hereafter known as MAMA). This year's MAMA will be held on the 21st November, Seoul, Jamsil Gymnasium.
Their office said, "MAMA's aim is to show the rest of Asia Korea's culture" and "the award ceremeony will be aired across the 10 main countries in Asia, like Japan, China, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand, where TVXQ is the best artist. Thus, Korea's top artist cannot be excluded from the invitation."
On MAMA's end, they have expressed interest in inviting TVXQ to attend their awards. On the 16th, they said that they would get in touch with TVXQ's management to see whether it would be possible for them to attend or not. However, TVXQ's company, SM Entertainment has declared that they would not be attending MAMA, so a lot of attention has been cast on TVXQ to see whether or not they will attend.
An official from the KPOP industry said, "Last month, the courts approved a partial injunction to the 3 members' exclusive contract with the company, and the 3 members are allowed to participate in their own individual activities" and "while we hope that all 5 members can attend together, the possibility of only the 3 members attending is high".
MAMA is holding their award ceremony on the 21st, which was originally the date of TVXQ's concert in China. However, SM Entertainment claimed that, "The 3 members expressed that they did not wish to participate in the concert that was to be held on the 21st, and the remaining performances are uncertain." In contrast, the 3 members' side claimed that "From the beginning, the China concert (Shenzhen) was not in the contract."
A representative from a company for idol groups said, "SM Entertainment and the 3 members have differing opinions, and the dispute is becoming more serious. Disbandment might be inevitable."
