K-pop's top MAMA Awards to return to Hong Kong for first time since 2018
One of the world's top K-pop awards ceremonies will return to Hong Kong for the first time since 2018, taking place in the city's 50,000-seat Kai Tak Stadium in November. The return of the MAMA Awards, formerly known as the Mnet Asian Music Awards, to the city is expected to be bigger than ever, with the event previously being hosted at the 12,500-seat AsiaWorld-Arena in 2018. The ceremony was first held in the city in 2012. In an Instagram post on Thursday, the event's official account announced that the ceremony would take place on November 28 and 29. Organisers have yet to release a seating plan or ticket prices for the show. The post attracted about 20,000 likes within just three hours of being published. Social media users welcomed the event's return to the city, with one describing Kai Tak Stadium as an 'awesome venue'. The MAMA Awards are considered one of the most popular events in K-pop, with groups such as BTS, Wanna One and Twice collecting awards at the last local edition of the event in 2018. Ticket prices at the time ranged from HK$888 (US$113) to HK$2,488.

AB6IX to host fan concert in Seoul next month
AB6IX will hold a fan concert in Seoul on June 14-15, said agency Brand New Music on Tuesday. The two-day event dubbed 'BE:6IX,' where the four band members will be playing live, comes about a year after the previous fan concert. The now six-year-old boy band debuted with 'B:Complete,' which earned it first place on a television music chart show just two weeks later with focus track 'Breathe.' Its latest album is its ninth EP from October last year, 'Born Like This.' Last month, Park Woojin dropped solo single 'Cool & Hot' and Lee Daehwi participated in a singles project where he sang 'Lovestruck.' Both were members of Wanna One, an 11-member boy band launched through the second season of 'Produce 101.'
