2026 MAMA AWARDS Reveals 25-Person Presenter Lineup for Kyocera Dome Osaka Dates
CJ ENM tapped 25 presenters for the Nov. 20–21 ceremony, including Kim Hye-soo, Kim Yeon-kyung, and director Jang Hang-jun.
25 names, one very stacked stage
CJ ENM announced the presenter lineup for the 2026 MAMA AWARDS on October 22. The ceremony runs November 20–21 at Kyocera Dome Osaka, Japan, under the concept Music Interstellar. Twenty-five figures from film, drama, variety, sports, and global performance will hand out awards.
The full list, in Korean alphabetical order: Kim Yeon-kyung, Kim Yu-jung, Kim Jae-won, Kim Hye-soo, Monica, Moon Sang-min, Micheda Shunsuke, Seo In-young, Seol In-ah, Ong Seong-wu, Yoo In-na, Yoon Kyung-ho, Lee Da-hee, Lee Sang-yi, Lee Sung-kyung, Lee Sung-min, Lee Jun-ho, Lee Chae-min, Jang Keun-suk, Jang Hang-jun, Jo Yu-ri, Choi Dae-hoon, Kani, Heo Nam-jun, Hwang Min-hyun.
The names doing the heavy lifting
Volleyball legend Kim Yeon-kyung made the cut. Kim Yu-jung proved her range this year in 100 Days of Lies. Director Jang Hang-jun arrives off a massive 2026. His film The Man Living with the King crossed 16 million admissions. (That's a lot of clout concentrated in one presenter row.)
The ceremony broadcasts live worldwide via MnetPlus and global digital platforms.
A show that's been running since 1999
MAMA AWARDS is CJ ENM's flagship music awards show. It launched in 1999 as Mnet 영상음악대상. The name stuck for ten years before a 2009 rebrand to Mnet Asian Music Awards. Starting in 2022, it became MAMA AWARDS.
