Criticism
SM Entertainment boycotted the 2010 Mnet Asian Music Awards, as they did in 2009, due to issues with fairness and employing a "no show, no award" policy where the winner must attend the ceremonies.[2][7]
In addition, Mnet came under criticism due to the date and location of the awards. It was the first Mnet Asian Music Awards to take place outside of South Korea. They also aired on a Sunday, which means performers had to choose between SBS's The Music Trend show or the awards ceremony.[9][10]
