[News] Mnet responds to criticisms of being ‘half of a real awards show’
Mnet’s ”2010 Mnet Asia Music Awards” (MAMA) has been drawing criticism lately for being ‘half of a real awards show’ due to the controversy surrounding SM Entertainment’s attendance. A representative from Mnet clarified, “There is nothing official yet.”
The representative continued, “SM Entertainment has not confirmed their attendance. However, just because their artists are not attending does not give people the right to call our awards ceremony ‘half of a real one’. What does that say about all the other artists who are attending? Do they merely make up ‘half’ of the Korean music industry?”
Mnet concluded, “Whether or not they attend, we will be judging fairly. If an SM Entertainment artist wins an award, a trophy will be delivered to them without a doubt.”
[News] Taiwanese show apologises to SM... Apologising while laughing...?

The MCs apologised on the show saying that it was a mis-understanding as they were targetting the whole Asian music industry rather than just Korea's.
However, their 'Apologising attitude' made, not only Korean netizens mad but also the local Taiwanese netizens as well. MCs talked about apologisng as if it wasn't nothing serious and even joked about things and laughed while 'apologising'
Netizens who saw this show commented "Apology should be honest, not jokingly. Their behaviours embarrass me as a Taiwanese." "Is that funny? How can you laugh and apologise at the same time" "You guys are not 3 year olds. Apologise honestly" "Their behaviours are sarcastic not apologetic. Aren't you even embarrassed?" "You guys mock whole of Korean music industries and apologise that way... Really sad"

A representitive of Mnet said, "As far as we know, SM is not attending MAMA and their artists already have plans on the 28th"
Because SM isn't attending and didn't attend last year, we couldn't see arists such as BoA, SuJu, SNSD, SHINee and others.
