On the evening of November 28, Korean football fans experienced many different emotions after a 2-3 loss to Ghana in Group H of the 2022 World Cup .
The bitter defeat against Ghana made the next door of the kimchi team very narrow. They were forced to win against Portugal and wait for the results of the Uruguay vs Ghana match in the final round to raise their hopes of going on to the 2022 World Cup.

BTS won Daesang MAMA 2022, Blackpink was not present to receive the award
At the first award night of MAMA 2022, BTS won the first Daesang. Blackpink also received an award, but the group was not present due to the same global tour schedule.
On the evening of November 29, MAMA 2022 took place the first award night at Kyocera Dome, Osaka, Japan. The ceremony on November 29 was led by MC Jeon Somi. On the night of the awards ceremony on November 30, actor Park Bo Gum will replace Somi in this position.
In the first ceremony, MAMA mainly awarded awards in favor of the public vote and the Top 10 chosen by fans around the world. On Monday, November 30, the awards by artist category and music genre will be announced.
As expected, BTS won the prestigious Daesang Global Icon of the Year.
Last year, BTS continued to affirm the position of Korea’s leading group and expanded its influence worldwide with many great imprints.
Such as being nominated and won at a series of prestigious American music awards; appeared at the White House, met with the US President to discuss the issue of hate for Asians; or Jungkook became the first Korean artist to perform at the opening ceremony of the World Cup 2022…
With this achievement, BTS has increased the number of Daesangs won by the group after more than 9 years of operation to 68, the most in the history of a K-pop group. However, the group could not be present to receive the award in person at this year’s MAMA.
Blackpink also won the Global Fan Choice Top 10 award, along with 9 other names including Stray Kids, SEVENTEEN, TREASURE, TXT, GOT7, PSY, ENHYPEN, NCT DREAM, and BTS.
Today, Blackpink flew to the UK to prepare for the world tour “Born Pink” in Europe, so the group could not be present to receive the award.
But 4 Blackpink girls appeared in the interview for the Global Producer Award for Teddy Park – the main producer in charge of Blackpink’s music products as well as YG Entertainment.
However, some of the new awards of this year’s MAMA are also confusing. For example, Stray Kids received the award for the most chilled artist .
Many winners do not know what criteria this award is based on. Judging by the music style, it seems that Stray Kids is not the right name to win.
MAMA 2022 results on the first award day on November 29:
Daesang Global Icon of the Year: BTS
