“Why hold a K-POP festival overseas?”…Award ceremony held overseas outside of Korea

As the dates for Korean music awards ceremonies are gradually being released, the news that they will be held overseas is causing a great deal of disappointment among Korean K-pop fans.
The dates for Korean music award ceremonies, which are traditionally held at the end or beginning of a new year, are being released.
. Mnet's MAMA AWARDS (MAMA) has been confirmed to be held from November 28th to 29th at Tokyo Dome, Japan. “MAMA” is a Korean group with a 24-year tradition.
It is an award ceremony for popular music, and every year it proves its status as a Hot Topic with its conceptual stage production and brilliant artist lineup.
However, "MAMA" has decided to hold the award ceremony overseas from 2021, except when the departure was not possible due to the coronavirus.
I've been working on it. Awards ceremonies not limited to Korean domestic music have been held in Macau, Hong Kong, Vietnam, etc. under the banner of "ASIAN AWARDS," but most of the performers are Korean artists.
So, they appeared closer to the K-POP award ceremony. “2023 Asia Artist Awards” (hereinafter AAA) will also be held on December 1st under the name Asia Artist.
On the 4th, it was confirmed that the event would be held at the Philippine Arena in the Philippines. ``AAA'', which was held for the first time in 2016, attracted attention as not only Korean singers but also actors received awards. "A
AA'' is gradually expanding its reach overseas, starting with Vietnam in 2019 and holding it in Japan in 2021.
This is the first time that the SEOUL MUSIC AWARDS, which has a 33-year tradition, will be held overseas. “33rd Seoul Song
The ``Utai Grand Prize'' will be held in Bangkok, Thailand on January 2, 2024. SEOUL MUSIC AWARDS, which teased the appearance of more than 20 teams of Korea's top K-pop stars, expressed confidence in the award ceremony.
. Although it is different from the award ceremony, KBS's ``Gayo Daejejeon'' was also criticized for the rumor that it would be held in Japan. Since then, "Gayo Daejejeon" has changed the Japan performance to be part of the "Music Bank" world tour.
On December 16th, it was announced that they were considering holding the event in South Korea. As K-Pop becomes more globalized, Korean music award ceremonies are attracting more and more attention overseas. Also compared with within Korea.
There is also a possibility that ticket prices for overseas performances will be higher, making it a choice to calculate profits. However, due to their busy schedules, artists who repeatedly travel in and out of the country will be attending the Korean award ceremony.
When I think about the fans who can't enjoy the scene and can only watch, I can only say it's a shame. Korean music award ceremonies are heading overseas as K-Pop's global popularity has increased.
Attention is focused on whether the award ceremony, which can be considered a celebration of K-pop, will be able to satisfy fans in Korea overseas.
