Mnet to broadcast AMA live

Korean fans will get to see BTS’ US debut performance live at the 45th edition of the American Music Awards.

Cable channel Mnet will broadcast the AMA show scheduled to take place at Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. Monday (Korea Standard Time).

It marks the first time a Korean broadcaster is carrying the show live. 

Mnet has been broadcasting the Grammy Awards live for 17 years.

Pop music critic Lim Jin-mo, who has hosted the broadcaster’s live broadcast of the Grammy Awards, MC Gim Gu-ra and translator-MC Ahn Hyun-mo will host Mnet‘s broadcast, explaining the trends in pop music and achievements of the award winners.

At the awards ceremony, K-pop juggernaut BTS will perform its hit track “DNA” from its latest album “Love Yourself Seung Her,” as the first ever K-pop group to perform at the event.
