In August, Mnet responded to reports regarding the venues of the year's ceremony as Hong Kong, where it had been held in the past, was deemed unsafe due to political conflict in the city. On September 29, Mnet announced that the host location of 2019 MAMA will be at Nagoya, Japan, stating that cultural exchange must continue regardless of political matters.All songs that are eligible to be nominated are songs released from November 3, 2018, to October 31, 2019.
