Boy bands Treasure and Just B, along with hip-hop artists Dynamicduo and Lee Young-ji, have been added to the lineup of performing artists at the upcoming 2023 MAMA Awards.

The four bands and Monika, a famed dancer from cable channel Mnet's “Street Woman Fighter” dance-off franchise, were added to a lineup of MAMA's performing artist lineup on Wednesday ahead of the ceremony on Nov. 28 and 29.


This year’s MAMA Awards will be held for two days at the Tokyo Dome, making it the first Korean music award ceremony held at the largest indoor stadium in Japan.

Yoshiki, leader of the J-pop band X-Japan, will also participate in a collaboration stage with Korean artists during the awards ceremony.

Four special stages — each titled Theme Stage, Mega Stage, Super Stage and Wonder Stage — will take place.

Jeon Somi, one of the co-hosts of this year's MAMA, will hold “a special tectonic” performance with the latest technology, according to CJ ENM. Yoshiki will collaborate with local artists for the Wonder Stage.

Rapper Lee Young-ji will team up with a member from K-pop bands Le Sserafim, ZeroBaseOne and Treasure for the Theme Stage. The Super Stage will be held under the idea of “Goddess redefined” and feature members Huh Yun-jin of Le Sserafim, Xiaoting of Kep1er, Minnie of (G)I-DLE and dancers Monika and Bada of “Street Woman Fighter.”

Dance crews from Mnet’s recently wrapped up dance face-off program “Street Woman Fighter 2.”

K-pop artist Jeon Somi and actor Park Bo-gum, who hosted the show last year, will return as co-hosts for this year's ceremony. Jeon will be hosting the first day and Park the second day.
