Melon Music Awards 2024 Reveals Full Lineup, ATEEZ, YOASOBI, aespa, PLAVE and More

 

Melon, a music platform of Kakao Entertainment, announced the final lineup for 'The 16th Melon Music Awards, MMA2024' (MMA), which will be held at Incheon Inspire Arena on November 30. 

ATEEZ, who will be appearing for the first time at MMA, is preparing an upgraded performance with solo, pair, and full performances based on the success of their North American tour.

PLAVE, a virtual idol group that caused a sensation by becoming the first boy group to top Melon's 'TOP100' chart this year, will lead the audience to a new world by going back and forth between virtual and real, and BOYNEXTDOOR is preparing a new version of their new song 'Earth, Wind & Fire'. They plan to thrill fans with their friendly and cheerful charm, just like their team name.

Based on their own genre of ‘emotional pop’, Riize, who continued the success of ‘Love 119’ and ‘Boom Boom Bass’, announced a stage that maximizes the charm of their vocals and a special appearance that transformed them into rock stars.

TWS, who enjoyed syndrome-level popularity as soon as they debuted with their debut song ‘First Encounter Doesn’t Go as Planned (plot twist)’, are preparing a performance that "has never been seen before in K-POP" and are planning to leave a solid presence as an emerging performance powerhouse.

(G)I-dle, who are known for their intense performances, are preparing to thrill their fans by condensing their seven-year history since their debut into one stage, and aespa, who showed off their unique charm and exerted explosive influence by putting three albums on Melon’s ‘Millions Albums’ this year, will express their growth story on a stage of overwhelming scale.

IVE, who reaffirmed their status as the MMA 2023 triple crown winner by recording double hits with ‘Heya’ and ‘Accendio’ this year, will present a performance utilizing ballet at this MMA and shake the hearts of fans around the world by revealing the stage of the song ‘Ice Queen’ for the first time.

tripleS, who has garnered attention as a super-large girl group, will present a harmonious performance where the remaining 16 members, excluding the unit members who are active in Japan, become one on stage, and QWER, who achieved the revival of girl bands by hitting consecutive hits such as ‘Worry Addiction’ and ‘My Name is Malguem’ released this year, will present a rich spectacle with an arrangement that added string instruments and a live band set performance.

BIBI, who sang ‘Bam Yang-Gang’, which is considered the biggest hit song in the first half of this year, is expected to captivate the hearts of the audience with a stage like a movie about ‘love’. ‘MZ icon’ Lee Young-ji is preparing for the stage of ‘Small Girl’, which ranked first on Melon’s ‘TOP100’ chart, with a surprise featuring partner. In addition, Danish pop star Christopher, who is also popular in Korea with ‘Bad’, has joined the MMA lineup, so expectations are high for whether Lee Young-ji and Christopher’s duet ‘Trouble’ performance will be seen at this MMA.

This MMA2024 will be held at Incheon Inspire Arena on November 30 at 5 PM with the support of Kakao Bank, under the slogan ‘New Stream of K-POP’, which contains the vision of presenting new flow and trends in K-pop.

MMA2024 can be viewed in Korea on the Melon app/web and Melon YouTube channel, and in Japan, it will be broadcast live on U-NEXT. In global markets excluding Japan, it can be enjoyed through 1theK and Melon YouTube channels.
