The 2026 MAMA Awards has locked in its presenter roster, revealing a 25-person lineup on October 22 that mixes top actors, idols and sports stars. The ceremony takes place on November 20 and 21 at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan.

A packed presenter list
The announced presenters cover a wide slice of Korean and Japanese entertainment. The list includes actors Kim You Jung, Kim Hye Soo, Lee Da Hee, Lee Sang Yi, Lee Sung Kyung, Lee Junho, Moon Sang Min, Seol In Ah, Lee Chae Min, Yoon Kyung Ho, Lee Sung Min and Jang Keun Suk, along with former IZ*ONE member Jo Yuri and Street Woman Fighter star Monika.
Volleyball star Kim Yeon Koung also joins the lineup, as do Ong Seong Wu, Yoo In Na, Kim Jae Won, Jang Hang Jun, Choi Dae Hoon, Seo In Young, Michieda Shunsuke, Kany, Heo Nam Jun and Hwang Minhyun — a genuinely star-studded mix of screen, stage and sports talent.
MAMA has long leaned on its presenters to add glamour between performances, and this year’s group skews heavily toward actors — a nod to how much K-drama star power now drives the global reach of the awards.
Counting down to Osaka
The two-day ceremony at the Kyocera Dome is one of the biggest fixtures on the K-pop calendar, and the presenter announcement follows the reveals of both the nominees and the performing artists. Fans will be watching closely to see which presenters share the stage with the night’s biggest winners.
With just weeks to go before the show, the full schedule of stages and collaborations is still to be unveiled — and MAMA’s history suggests there will be plenty more surprises on the way.
