”MAMA AWARDS” featuring Stray Kids and others to go ahead despite Hong Kong high-rise apartment fire... Red carpet event canceled, ”Tribute and donations needed”

Despite a fire that caused serious casualties in a high-rise apartment building in Hong Kong, the MAMA Asia Music Awards, hosted by CJ ENM, was held.
The CJ Awards have decided to go ahead with the event.
On the 27th, ENM stated, "We hope that the performance will convey comfort and hope rather than a flashy production.
"We are proceeding with preparations with careful consideration of the overall stage composition and progress," the company said.
After careful consideration, the "AWARDS" decided to hold the awards ceremony and to donate to the victims of the disaster.
The organizers plan to add a message of "Support Hong Kong" to the event, allowing people to share their grief and mourn together, and to make donations to support the victims.
According to the music industry, CJ ENM recognized the seriousness of the situation that morning and went through a process of discussing countermeasures.
It was reported that some stages would be modified and fireworks, special effects and red carpet events would be canceled. The Hong Kong English newspaper The Standard said, "The fireworks special effects will be canceled.
"The show will be cancelled, with the red carpet event also being cancelled. A moment of silence will be added to the opening, and the show will be recorded and broadcast."
The "Kai Tak Stadium Awards" will be held for two days from the 28th to the 29th at the Kai Tak Stadium, a large concert venue in Hong Kong. The performers who have already departed have finished rehearsing the day before.
However, the situation in the area remains severe, with 55 people dead and approximately 300 missing as of the afternoon of the same day. Even within the music industry, there are concerns that a large-scale music festival would be held in the midst of such a large-scale disaster.
CJ ENM said, "We believe in the healing and solidarity power of music," and added, "We will do our best with a sense of responsibility until the very end."
"It will be the 'MAMA AWARDS'," he commented.
The AWARDS will feature artists such as BABYMONSTER, ENHYPEN, Hearts2Hearts, TWS, and Stray Kids.
Many top K-pop stars are scheduled to appear, including "Kids," "ZERO BASE ONE," and G-DRAGON (BIGBANG).
