2020 Melon Music Awards

The 2020 Melon Music Awards ceremony, organized by Kakao M through its online music store, Melon, took place virtually from December 2 through December 5, 2020 (dubbed as "MMA Week") in South Korea, with the main ceremony taking place on December 5 at 19:00 KST. This is the twelfth ceremony in the show's history, and the first to be held online and over a span of four days. It was held without an audience due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

BTS won 6 awards during the ceremony, sweeping all three Grand Awards (Daesangs) including Artist of the Year for the second consecutive year.
