The Melon Music Awards (MMA) will be held online starting at 6 p.m. on Dec. 4, according to Kakao, which runs Melon, one of Korea’s major music streaming services.
As with last year, the annual music awards ceremony will be streamed live through various social media channels such as KakaoTV and YouTube due to Covid-19 pandemic.
The festival began in 2005 and used to be held live, although streamed online.
The MMA uses data from Melon to base its awards to artists who have had exceptional performances during the year.
