This year's Mnet Asian Music Awards will be held virtually on December 6 in South Korea amid the ongoing pandemic.
The K-pop industry's largest annual awards show is usually held as a multiday event staged across several venues in Asian countries.
A representative for CJ ENM, which hosts the ceremony, said it believes the contact-less event for 2020 will "provide a new opportunity to transform the show."
Launched in 1999 under the name Mnet Km Music Festival, the event was renamed MAMA in 2009 as it expanded its reach throughout Asia.
