The 2015 Mnet Asian Music Awards ceremony, organized by CJ E&M through its music channel Mnet, took place on December 2, 2015, at AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong. The ceremony was the sixth consecutive Mnet Asian Music Awards to be hosted outside of South Korea.
Nominees were announced on October 30, 2015.[1] Leading the nominees and awards was Big Bang with six. By the end of the ceremony the group received four wins alongside Exo, the most received awards of the night.
This event marked the seventeenth Mnet Asian Music Awards.[2] It was simultaneously broadcast live in Korea, Japan, America, Southeast Asia through various channels as well as via online live streaming.
The event took place in the same country and the same venue for the third consecutive time. This year MAMA's theme/concept included "...fantastic stages through 'State of TechArt', a concept that combines cutting-edge technology and art."[3] About 10,000 fans and 2,000 staff members attended the awards show.[4]
Eligible nominees included songs or albums released from October 26, 2014, until October 30 the next year. Winners will be selected based on six categories including online voting and evaluation from MAMA professional panel.[n 2][3]

Winners and nominees
Winners are listed first and highlighted in boldface.[5][6]
As CL was the only 2NE1 member originally intended to perform at the event, 2NE1's surprise performance at the award ceremony received considerable media attention. Following the conclusion of CL's "Hello Bitches", the rest of the group suddenly appeared onstage and reunited to perform "Fire" and "I Am the Best". Because of Park Bom's hiatus following her scandal from 2014, it was the group's first performance in a year and would be ultimately their last before their disbandment in 2016.[7][8]SBS PopAsia wrote that "Fans and press too, were in for a pleasant surprise when 2NE1 appeared on the stage -- members one by one. It went from a CL show to a 2NE1 reunion that no-one was prepared for. The transition was on point and seriously, words cannot do the performances justice."[9]Fuse regarded it as one of the best performances of 2015 worldwide, alongside those of Beyoncé and Madonna.[10] It was named one of the most unforgettable moments in MAMA history by Cosmopolitan Philippines[11] and SBS PopAsia.[12]
