2009 MKMF canceled?

With not much good happening in 2009 already, we really didn't see this coming.

With less than a month to go to November, things are strangely quiet over at Mnet regarding their 2009 MKMF (Mnet Korean Music Festival). But things got slightly kind of clear or confusing depending on how you see it, when Mnet updated their MKMF website with a strange message.

Visitors were greeted with a message in red saying, ""No MKMF this year!" which was followed by a heartbeat dying and also a video message saying the same thing.



But with no official sources reporting about this, it's hard to believe 100% that it wouldn't be happening. Would someone go to such lengths to design something like this just to notify everyone that it's not holding the event? It could be Mnet's marketing campaign for a brand new MKMF concept. We will have to wait and see.

Many thanks to BEG4ever, Yuu iciviuja hikaru and LovingJae12 for tips.

:( It better not be true.

 
x3Meows's avatar

Agree with 22…. maybe they say they cancel it, to get more anticipation for the event puahaha:D

sounds like a deliberate marketing campaign. There’s no way any company would do sumthing this weird and out of the red especially in the fashion it is in if it wasn’t sumthing.

 
fenderstratt's avatar

Methinks this is just some ploy that they’re pulling to make things more, er, interesting.

 
pangstar's avatar

ahhhhhhhhhhh. hell no…..............

i hope there are updates, MKMF is like the biggest award show.

 
frappuccino's avatar

NOOOOOOOOOO. I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS ALL YEAR LONG!

 
orenji's avatar

Well, consider that MNet ban all SM artist this year, and the success that SNSD and SJ has; 2pm are nowhere to be seen at the moment, plus the backlash that the teen choice award I can see this coming.

 
Baa's avatar

No marketing stunt could be this awkward and unfunny. Maybe something really did go wrong… :(

 
rewind's avatar

they’re probably just going to revamp it and rename it or something

so technically mkmf isn’t happening

 
naba's avatar

wtf…... what the hell…

 
Jaeurazn's avatar

All I can say is : how do you will make a better buzz than that ^^

in this time generally we have the teaser of new MKMF and this one is.

 
GDestinysama's avatar

FAKKKKKKKKKKK NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 
no avatar

that just plain sucks. i really wanted to see who would win and all the special stages and collabs!

 
no avatar

ROFL?


SERIOUSLY??


Over at the Korean message boards, there were one or two people who kept mentioning MKMF was shut down over its obvious arrangement of awards (the awards have already been *assigned* this year and most went to the company who has shares in Mnet *go figure*). But I ignored it thinking those people were the occasional people on crack trying to stir trouble.


Who knows, those people might just be telling the truth?

LOL. We’ll see.

 
Kvanne's avatar

no way…seriously ? wow.

this smart marketing by Mnet to get more people to anticipate the event.
why would they canceled MKMF is their 10th anniversary this going to be BIG.

 
LimAmelia~'s avatar

ehh it looks like a marketing ploy. Why would they put so much effort into telling ppl. there’s no MKMF. Maybe they changed the name from MKMF to something else hahah. “Thre’s no MKMF this year…but there is….” blah blah.

 
pink4ever08's avatar

T.T Noooo!!!!

 
SHINee.Key's avatar

omg omg omg NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO dont let it happen!!!

 
xxkurochixx's avatar

NOOOOO!!!!

 
eleven's avatar

Maybe it’s a theme that’ll get people hyped up..cus that would be kind of a cool promo attention grabber. *shrugs*

 
nanami's avatar

that video gave me chills! i doubt mkmf is canceled. there’s just no way. this is probably some play since it is their 10th anniversary and all so they probably want to make it extra exciting

 
careohlinh's avatar

WHAT! I was looking forward to this.

 
Omg its Dave's avatar

I agree with nanami

 
Aznchicken3's avatar

It might be a marketing tactic they’re using to get it hyped up. It’s has been a really bad month for the Kpop Industry, maybe they need to redo some things right now. Since Mnet has banned SM and this year Sm artists have done well, and 2PM is having problems.
