A rep of Lee Hyori has spoken up about the singer's attendance to '2016 Mnet Asian Music Awards'.

Recently, reports claimed that Lee Hyori is planning to make her return on the stage of '2016 MAMA'. However, on November 23, a rep of Lee Hyori stated, "Performing on 'MAMA' is very tempting but the award show is already so close while she still needs time for album preparation. We have no choice but to give up ['MAMA']. It's first and foremost to focus on her album."
