The global K-pop awards ceremony ‘KM Chart Awards 2026’ has signaled a new transformation for K-pop fans around the world with the launch of its Super Fan recruitment.
CJ ENM announced that it has officially begun recruiting ‘2026 MAMA Super Fans’ through its global K-pop content platform, Mnet Plus.
‘MAMA Super Fans’ serve as official ambassadors for the MAMA Awards, helping promote the value of K-pop worldwide while receiving special benefits and influence. Since 2024, the MAMA Awards has selected Super Fans to better and more directly reflect fandom voices, and about 650,000 fans took part last year.
In addition, the ‘KM Chart Awards 2026,’ set to take place on November 20 and 21 at Kyocera Dome Osaka in Japan, will introduce the ‘MAMA Fan Festa’ for the first time.
The newly launched ‘MAMA Fan Festa’ is a participatory festival where K-pop fans take the lead and enjoy the awards show in their own way while creating new experiences. Fan-focused programs and a variety of collaborations are expected to unfold both online and offline.
A CJ ENM official said, “This year’s ‘KM Chart Awards 2026’ will be a ceremony that more actively captures the passion and voices of fans around the world than ever before,” adding, “We hope you look forward to a global K-pop festival created together with fans through the first-ever Fan Festa and the Super Fan system, which has continued for three years.”
Meanwhile, the MAMA Awards is a music awards ceremony hosted by CJ ENM. It began in 1999 as the Mnet Video Music Awards and was held for 10 years. In 2009, it was rebranded as the Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA), and since 2022 it has been held under the name MAMA Awards.
