Why was BLACKPINK absent in MAMA 2020? We open old books!
BLACKPINK neither participated in the MMA (Melon Music Awards) nor recorded and sent an acceptance or thank you message. The day after, BLACKPINK again did not participate in MAMA (Mnet Asian Music Awards) and they did not send a thank you message either despite having received four awards including prominent awards, such as Best Female Kpop Group and Best Female Dance Performance .
In another article yesterday, we talked about the dispute and court cases between YG Entertainment and Melon for MMA over royalties. So is there also something between YG and Mnet? Yes there is: Old Notebooks …
Let’s go to 2017 MAMA . The event you see in the photo below is known as “Dirty Editing”. The faces of the BLACKPINK members were painted with red so that their faces appeared to be covered or blurred.
This issue remained a bit of a puzzle. According to Mnet, it was for a technical reason, there was no ulterior motive. This is how BLACKPINK members looked when theirskin color combined with the studio lights, etc. But for some reason this was not happening for rival groups but only happening for BLACKPINK members:
The decision is yours, dear readers. This incident drew the serious reaction of the BLINKs and BLACKPINK has not ever attend again MAMA after that year.
There seems to be another reason, of course: BTS and BLACKPINK don’t seem to want to be brought together anymore. Both have become very large, globally renowned groups, especially in the last two years. Right now BTS has released a brand new album and they are already in the promotion season. That’s why it’s normal for them to appear in such shows during this period. BLACKPINK on the other hand recently completed their promotions. MMA and MAMA dates did not coincide much for them. So, maybe they wouldn’t have attended this year if “Dirty Edit” hadn’t happened.
As a result, although BLACKPINK did not participate, it received three prestigious awards in this competition. We congratulate them!
MAMA did them so dirty it’s YG’s fault that they can’t attend mama why should blackpink suffer
