As the two-day spellbinding music extravaganza kicked off on November 28, 2023, at the Tokyo Dome in Japan, we now have the full 2023 MAMA Awards Day 1 winners list. Although more accolades and honours are yet to be conferred upon many more artists who will be making their grand appearance tomorrow, i.e. on Day 2 of the show organised by CJ ENM, the first day was an equally paramount celebration of these Asian artists’ musical contributions this year. With Jeon Somi helming the first day’s event as the primary emcee, the main show and the red carpet ceremony were broadcasted by Mnet.
BTS and TOMORROW X TOGETHER were declared as the first few MAMA Awards 2023 Day 1 winners of the ceremony, in addition to other legendary names from the roster being revealed later. Here are the winning announcements from the first day of the highly anticipated illustrious show that appreciates Asian artists from numerous beats of the musical field.
