Actor Park Bo-gum shared his thoughts on taking on the role of ambassador for the '2026 MAMA AWARDS'.

A media day for the '2025 MAMA AWARDS' was held on the morning of the 29th at the Hotel Eliena in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Attendees included Shin Hyeong-gwan, head of the Music Content Business Division at CJ ENM, and Yoon Sin-hye, head of the Mnet Business Division.

On this day, Division Head Yoon stated, "The 'MAMA AWARDS' has introduced an ambassador role, and Park Bo-gum will step up as a storyteller connecting fans and artists. Park Bo-gum is an indispensable figure in the 'MAMA AWARDS.' He has served as a host from 2017 through the 2022 rebranding and our first expansion into the United States. He is someone who has been with us for these initial moments."

She continued, "Park Bo-gum's sincerity toward music adds depth to the 'MAMA AWARDS.' This year, Park Bo-gum is expected to serve as a storyteller connecting Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 as the 'MAMA AWARDS' ambassador, as well as a guide for a musical journey." She added, "We look forward to seeing how he will convey the story."

Park Bo-gum said via video, "As the ambassador for 'MAMA,' I want to share MAMA's musical message with all my heart over the two days. This year, we embark on a new journey through 'Music Interstellar,' a musical universe that transcends time and space. We plan to deliver diverse stories. You can expect stages filled with surprise and emotion, from special stages to collaboration stages that bridge generations."

Additionally, the male duo Panic (Lee Jeok, Kim Jin-pyo) will appear at this year's 'MAMA AWARDS.' Division Head Yoon revealed, "Panic has been described as rebels who sing about difference. Listening to Panic's music evokes a sense of youth. They are celebrating their 31st anniversary since debut this year. Their recent solo concert was sold out. Their stage is expected to be featured at the 'MAMA AWARDS.' In particular, they are scheduled to perform collaboration stages with junior artists such as Martin, Seong-hyun, Wooz, Kim Tae-rae, Woo Chan, and Yoo Ha."

Meanwhile, the '2026 MAMA AWARDS' will be held on November 20 and 21 at the Kyocera Dome Osaka. This year's concept slogan is 'Music Interstellar,' reflecting a plan to complete a mysterious musical universe where artists and global fans resonate beyond time and space, transcending time, space, imagination, and reality.
