Cloud 9

The judging criteria varies by category, as outlined below. In addition to physical and digital music sales obtained in the 151031-161027 period, the main way in which we can help EXO now is through voting and ‘research’ (public interest).

★ Online voting and criteria breakdown:

[VOTE HERE]

You must vote in all categories. Please make sure you vote for EXO in the categories in which they are nominated.

One vote, per ID, per day

The use of multiple IDs is widespread and up to ten IDs can be made from the same IP address

A Mnet ID is required for voting on the Mwave site. You may join either using an email, or existing Twitter, Facebook and KakaoTalk accounts (the latter three are recommended, as the usual joining process is hindered by delayed delivery of verification emails)

1. Best Male Group (category 3)

★ Research / Public Interest:

Research (public interest) is worth 20% of the MAMA judging criteria, so in addition to voting, you can help EXO by looking up EXO-related search terms on the following sites:

Daum | Naver

Nate | Mnet | Bugs | Olleh Music | MelOn

Search terms:

엑소, EXO, Monster, member names (please primarily focus on the first one, as we cannot vouch as to whether the other search terms will be considered)

We recommend that you use a private/incognito window, as that way you don’t need to close and relaunch the entire browser after closing a window

Perform searches using the terms above on one or all of the sites outlined (please also look out for any organised group search activities and take part in them)

Remain on the page for 3-5 minutes and access some of the search results

Close the private/incognito window (Note that if you are not using an incognito/private browsing, you will need to close the entire browser)

Open a new private window, and repeat the process.
