HWASA appears in three categories in KWaveHub’s 2026 MAMA Awards nominee guide, with “Good Goodbye” listed for Best Music Video and Best Vocal Performance — Solo alongside a Best Female Artist nomination. This article follows KWaveHub’s 2026 MAMA Awards nominees: full list, which organizes the current category entries in one place.
HWASA’s 2026 MAMA Awards nominations
The following entries are the nominations attributed to HWASA in the current KWaveHub nominee guide. Check the official Mnet Plus MAMA Awards page for organizer-published updates.
| Category | Nominee / nominated work |
|---|---|
| Best Female Artist | HWASA |
| Best Music Video | “Good Goodbye” |
| Best Vocal Performance — Solo | “Good Goodbye” |
What makes these nominations notable?
HWASA’s nominations connect artist recognition with two categories focused on the same release. “Good Goodbye” is listed for both Best Music Video and Best Vocal Performance — Solo, highlighting different aspects of the work. The music-video category and vocal-performance category should not be treated as interchangeable because they assess different elements.
Key songs, albums and categories to watch
The overlap around “Good Goodbye” is the central point of HWASA’s nomination story. Each category has a separate field and criteria, and the final result remains undecided until the organizers announce winners. Readers should consult official MAMA sources for any rule or voting updates.
Could HWASA win at the 2026 MAMA Awards?
HWASA has a credible opportunity to compete in each listed category, but nominations alone do not establish a frontrunner or guarantee an award. A fair prediction should compare the entry with its category rivals and rely on the published rules, eligible data and official announcements. KWaveHub will update its coverage as more confirmed information becomes available.
When and where are the 2026 MAMA Awards?
The ceremony is scheduled for November 20–21, 2026, at KYOCERA DOME OSAKA in Osaka, Japan, with worldwide streaming announced via Mnet Plus. See CJ ENM’s event announcement and the official Mnet Plus event page for updates.

HWASA: Top 3 Contenders in the Solo Vocal Race
HWASA’s “Good Goodbye” appears in the solo vocal-performance field as well as music-video coverage. The vocal category should be evaluated on the nominated recording and vocal performance, not the artist’s music-video nomination or overall fame. This is a provisional editorial shortlist.
- IU — “Unknown Planet”: A prominent solo-vocal entry to compare through vocal interpretation, delivery and the recording itself.
- HWASA — “Good Goodbye”: HWASA’s nominated track is a serious watchlist entry; the case depends on vocal expression and the official category criteria.
- WOODZ — “CINEMA”: A further nominee to assess for vocal delivery, arrangement and how effectively the performance serves the song.
Method note: this is a provisional editorial watchlist, not an official ranking. Confirm current 2026 rules and compare nominees within the same eligibility period. See CJ ENM’s criteria background, the full nominees guide and official Mnet Plus updates.
