The 2019 Mnet Asian Music Awards ceremony, organized by CJ E&M through its music channel Mnet, took place on December 4 at Nagoya Dome, Japan. It was the 21st ceremony and one of the largest in the show's history, with more than 40,000 people attending.[1]
In August, Mnet responded to reports regarding the venues of the year's ceremony as Hong Kong, where it had been held in the past, was deemed unsafe due to political conflict in the city. On September 29, Mnet announced that the host location of 2019 MAMA will be at Nagoya, Japan, stating that cultural exchange must continue regardless of political matters.[2]
All songs that are eligible to be nominated are songs released from November 3, 2018, to October 31, 2019.
