MAMA 2020: Where is Suga? BTS win and IU's ‘eight’ collab award make fans emotional: ‘It feels so incomplete’
One of the most awaited Mnet Music Awards (MAMA) 2020 — hailed as Asia’s biggest music award show — was held on Sunday, December 6, at 6 pm KST. The Best Collaboration award went to IU for ‘eight’ (Produced & Featuring Suga). The duo beat Park Jin Young – ‘When We Disco’ (Duet with Sunmi), BOL4 – ‘Leo’ (Feat. Baekhyun), Sung Si Kyung & IU – ‘First Winter’ and Zico – ‘Summer Hate’ (Feat. Rain).
The duo also clinched the Best Rock award at the Melon Music Awards 2020. IU accepted the award with a speech through a video and fans can't stop talking about her "much deserved" win. Lee Ji-eun, known as IU, also won the Best Female Artist and Best Vocal Performance Solo. "IU winning three awards and despite not even showing up who does it like her," one fan said, and another wrote, "IU did not go to MAMA but the award was sent to her and then she gave her award speech through video." A third wrote, "Wow... IU just swept all 3. Amazing. So glad to be an Uaena since 8 years ago, and to have seen IU live in 2018 and 2019 makes it even better!"

Since 2010, MAMA has been held in Macau, Singapore and Hong Kong. In 2017, MAMA was held in Vietnam, Japan, and Hong Kong. Next year, in 2018, MAMA was held in three different locations in Asia in a span of a week – Korea, Japan, and Hong Kong! Due to Covid-19 restrictions, it has gone virtual this year.
