Despite there being two months left for the ceremony, YG and Mnet have not bene in talks over who will be attending. A rep said, "Including Big Bang, none of our YG artists have received a formal invitation to the event. Normally, we need to start planning for the stages at least two months in advance but discussions have not even started yet. At this rate, it will not be likely that they'll be able to attend. We're wondering why there haven't been talks about not only the stages but their attendance in general."

1. [+2,228, -366] Ehh.. what's a MAMA without YG, especially Big Bang..

2. [+1,649, -391] I wanted to see Minho and Taeyang's 'Fear' stage again on MAMA too.. will we not be able to? ㅠㅠ I want to see them both on MAMA~

3. [+1,449, -252] Hul, I thought Big Bang would at least be there

4. [+1,420, -288] Ehh?? I thought Big Bang would sweep up the trophies...

5. [+1,377, -426] We don't need those damn trophies, see for yourself how pathetic your ceremony will look without YG. We don't need it!

6. [+402, -81] Is this because Mnet fought with YG over that #1 thing?... It makes no sense for Big Bang to not attend MAMA, they've been there every year

7. [+430, -123] A year-end without YG artists?? A MAMA without Big Bang?? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ You can count me out

8. [+367, -75] I watch MAMA for YG though...

9. [+366, -106] Well they'll see for themselves who actually loses out in the end. This will end up being an SM feast.

1. [+970, -224] MAMA will be so bland without Big Bang

2. [+909, -235] It wouldn't even be weird if Big Bang won all three of the daesangs. MAMA loses out by not having Big Bang attend, they always get the highest viewer ratings

3. [+763, -229] Big Bang needs to win at least three of their awards like song of the year, artist of the year, and male group of the year

4. [+642, -156] No point without Big Bang

5. [+168, -51] Their loss
