After ten years of holding the event under the name "M.net Korean Music Festival" (MKMF), the award-ceremony started to have a new name called "M.net Asian Music Awards" or simply "MAMA". This marked a change in concept and the way they will handle how people may vote for which artists win the awards.

Controversy
[
edit
]
SM Entertainment
and Inwoo Production boycotted the event on November 21, hence none of their artists attended the event. The latter company, representing trot singers
Jang Yun-jeong
and
Park Hyun-bin
, announced the boycott and questioned the fairness of the awards ceremony. Meanwhile, the former stated through a press release that they have reservation regarding the standard of fairness and criteria used in their selections, citing that
Girls' Generation
had topped a music chart for nine consecutive weeks but was never placed first place on their show and only debut on their charts a month after the album was released. They also asked that their artists be removed from a mobile poll which requires participants to pay a fee in order to vote saying they "do not want to see fans suffer any damage from the poll which has commercial intentions".
[7]
SS501
from
DSP Media
,
Son Dam-bi
and
After School
from
Pledis Entertainment
also did not attend the award ceremony but cited scheduling conflicts rather than boycott.
