This year’s MAMA AWARDS lineup features an exciting collaboration between Grammy-winning musician Anderson. Paak and K-pop icon J.Y. Park.

This collaboration highlights the growing connection between global music and K-pop, offering fans an unforgettable experience.
“The best blues funk performance in MAMA history will be showcased with me playing piano while Anderson playing drums and delight the audience with our vibrant performance,” said J.Y. Park.
“J.Y. Park has been Korea’s leading producer and singer-songwriter for 30 years, building the foundation of K-pop and shaping its history. It’s truly an honor for me to share the stage with such a legendary artist,” Anderson. Paak said. “While I’m often inspired by the energy of younger artists, collaborating with J.Y. Park, who has dedicated so many years to music, has sparked new inspiration in me as well.”
Adding to the excitement, KATSEYE will take the stage with the Los Angeles Rams Cheerleaders for a vibrant and high-energy performance. This collaboration will effortlessly blend the creativity and flair of K-pop with the dynamic cheerleading style of American sports entertainment, promising to deliver a thrilling display of energy, choreography, and cultural fusion.
