The 2024 MAMA Awards have arrived!

Going into the three-day international K-pop awards ceremony taking place at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre (on Nov. 21) and the Kyoawea Dome in Osaka, Japan (Nov. 22-23), aespa is the leading nominee, racking up eight nods, including multiple recognitions in the night’s “Grand” awards like the Visa Artist of the Year, Visa Song of the Year, and Visa Album of the Year. Following the girl group is JENNIE with seven nominations, with the BLACKPINK star’s solo work earning her recognition in Grand award categories like Artist and Song of the Year.

Acts like Girls’ Generation’s TAEYEON, SEVENTEEN, (G)I-DLE, IVE, LE SSERAFIM, and RIIZE all scored multiple nods across the Grand awards as well.

The MAMAs officially kicked off in Los Angeles on Thursday, Nov. 21, with a morning media press conference with US performers J.Y. Park and RIIZE previewing their performances. In sharing details about his Anderson .Paak collaborative performance night, Park teased a slightly impromptu performance with his “favorite drummer” where the two focused more on feeling out the performance in the moment. Meanwhile, RIIZE shared their stage invoked Michael Jackson with eldest member Shotaro teasing a dance section between himself and member Wonbin that drew inspiration from an “eclipse.”
