Even though the 2022 MAMA Awards aren't over yet, they have already given K-Pop fans many memorable moments, like Stray Kids' performance and the stage where 4th generation girl groups worked together.

There were also a lot of idols who went viral on their own. IVE's Gaeul, TREASURE's Yoshi, and Stray Kids' Felix all made the Internet go crazy with their crazy visuals.

But even on the first day of the awards show, there was a lot to like, and many audiences have had mixed feelings, if not outright complaints, about the show.

Fans and viewers have been very worried about the camerawork during the ceremony in particular.

Even though it was easy to tell that the performances were good, many people were frustrated that the style of filming didn't let them see the performances up close.

Instead of focusing on the artists, the camera zoomed out and moved over the audience or the stage.

Fans of LE SSERAFIM, for example, felt like they missed a lot of the group's performance, which is a shame because LE SSERAFIM is known for their high-quality performances and even won an award for them at the 2022 Melon Music Awards.

Netizens also said that this is unfair to the artists, who put in a lot of work to make the best show possible, but many people didn't get to see it. Some people thought that, among other things, this made the MAMAs this year feel a bit rushed.

MOAs says that Mnet could even learn something from TXT's Beomgyu! Fans now hope that on day two, they will be able to see the artists and their performance better.

BTS member Jimin made history at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the prestigious Visa Fan’s Choice of the Year award.

On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
