On October 24, the MAMA Awards (previously known as the Mnet Asian Music Awards) released its full list of nominees across 18 categories. The 2022 MAMA Awards is set to take place at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan on November 29 and 30.
BTS member J-hope has racked up a total of six nominations, the most of all artists nominated this year. These include Artist of The Year, Best Male Artist and Best Hip-hop and Urban Music for his solo single ‘More’. That song and his Crush collaboration ‘Rush Hour’ have both also been nominated for Song of The Year. The latter has also gotten a nod for Best Collaboration.
Several groups follow with five nominations each, including BTS, BLACKPINK, SEVENTEEN, Stray Kids and IVE.
The winners of most categories will be decided through some combination of judge panel evaluations, song downloads and streams, and physical album sales. However, fans will be able to vote in the Worldwide Fans’ Choice category on the official MAMA Awards website here. Voting will end on November 4 at 11:59PM KST.
