Trot Singers Boycott MAMA

Park Hyun Bin and Jang Yoon Jung

This year, one of Korea's biggest entertainment channels MNET revealed that instead of holding their annual MKMF Awards, they will come back to their viewers with MAMA instead. But as usual, when there is an awards ceremony, there are bound to be controversies among nominees.

This year, some of the biggest trot singers like Park Hyun Bin, Jang Yoon Jung and Wink, who are all under the company Inwoo, are boycotting the awards ceremony and there's a high possibility of the stars not attending.

Jang Yoon Jung, Park Hyun Bin, Wink

The reason behind this boycott is because although Jang Yoon Jung has been promoting her song 'I Like You' since the start of 2009, she was eliminated from the 'Best Trot Song' category despite her song ranking 1st in many online charts. Not only that but MNET has not been airing the trot singers' music videos on their channel.

Will this boycott bring an easy win for the other nominees of the category or will MNET give in to the boycott and edit the category? Stay tuned and don't forget to check out MAMA through allkpop on the 21st of November.

I don’t think MAMA awards is worthy enough for them to attend anyway. Same with SM artistes.

NICE!! i love park hyubin! he’s awesome~~ MAMA results will be rigged anyway…y attend? and it does seem unfair for JangYoonJung! Mnet Awards always have some controversies…just like last yr where MinWoo boycotted MKMF! and IMO, even any SM artists win in their categories….awards will not go to them~ look at Mnet 20’s Choice Award….so i don see the point even having MAMA….MNet just do watever they please… and paying to vote?? ridiculous~ talking about sucking out money from fans~!

hmm i thought Mnet did a great move when they came up with a trot award, but like that? hey. how can trot award go without the most popular young trot singers like Jang Yoonjun & Park Hyun Bin?

LOL @ 4

 
OMGWTFBBQ's avatar

MAMA is pretty sketchy. I’m sure they’ll try to stop SM artists to win since they are still going at with the feud. And now the trot singers not being added to the list? Sketched.
And @4, a lot of people listens to trot from kids to the older generations. It seems like you are new to kpop.

Mnet always screwing somebody over some way. I agree with 15 paying to vote? We dont do that crap here in America. You can go vote online it dont cost. That show is high way robbery.

yingmoon's avatar

@4 i’m sure a fair amount of people listen to trot music in korea; just because most overseas fans don’t doesn’t mean koreans don’t.
@26 trot music is sorta like traditional folk korean music. i can’t really explain it, cuz singers now sing trot music too, so it’s not really just traditional… but if you’ve ever watched a korean drama, you’re SURE to have heard someone in the show sing a trot song; whether drunk or sober XD

jmay1105's avatar

@33 i find him sooooooooooooo cute too!!

 
marikit's avatar

I understand the sentiment. I mean honestly? MAMA has some weird nominee list, no matter how many fans try to analyze it. So many loopholes, IMHO.

 
Sand11's avatar

boy groups and girl groups are IN right now
TROT is OUT sorry

 
jmay1105's avatar

@37 u r obviously not someone who live in Korea right now

The Korean music industry doesn’t just consist of idol groups.  People need to learn to appreciate different genres of music.

 
NanaBigBangShinKi's avatar

wow! I think MNET is like ignoring trot singer’s because they don’t find them important. I would love to see Daesung in this category someday xD

 
QLionz's avatar

Trot music rulez :D
@42 I know i love Rokkugo <3

 
jmay1105's avatar

Super Junior even have a sub group for Trot called SJ-T and Deasung was singing Trot before too…

 
Jecel's avatar

I’m not yet familiar with trot music. But I guess that’s kinda unfair to not include them.

 
taeyangsexi's avatar

@4 I Love Trot Music….
@26 wow 0_0….Its like country and Folk music for America

Im mad they wont be on there i love trot music we all know its catchy as crap

 
NaniLove's avatar

MNET is being dumb this year -.-

 
sodahead's avatar

Im american but I like a few trot songs I like the more modern style of it but nonetheless i dig some of it. 3 chonsgsa i like that group

 
no avatar

Mnet is stupid.
Trot is like the only style of music that reaches out to all the age groups in korea.
and to have disgrace some of the best trot singers of the modern generation is such an insult.
Mnet may have some good artists, but when it comes to its channel, it sucks!

 
xirisxox's avatar

how unfair!!

 
JaeJoongFanGirl's avatar

I’m a little wary over the MAMA awards. Since it’s based on online votes (right?) I’m wondering if whoever wins an award actually deserve it cause it’s all a popularity contest I’m guessing. 


Anyway, were just gonna have to see how all this is going to turnout when the “MAMA Awards” air on TV. Trot artists FTW <3
