The 2020 Melon Music Awards are finally here!
Kicking off on Tuesday (12/02), the annual awards show is taking place online until 5 December. This mark's MMA's first time to be held in a virtual space and the organisers promise to create a new "performance culture" as part of the experience.
The likes of BTS, TXT, MONSTA X, OH MY GIRL, DAY6(Even of Day) THE BOYZ, Simon Dominic, CODE KUNST, JANNABI, Lim Young Woong, Young Tak, and more are scheduled to perform throughout the week.
Last month, MMA's Top 10 Artists were revealed to include: Baek Yerin, EXO's Baekhyun, BLACKPINK, BTS, Im Young Woong, IU, IZ*ONE, Kim Ho Joong, Oh My Girl, and Block B's Zico.
