j-hope is associated with two entries in KWaveHub’s 2026 MAMA Awards nominee guide through “SPAGHETTI,” listed for Best Collaboration and Best Dance Performance — Female Group. This article follows KWaveHub’s 2026 MAMA Awards nominees: full list.
j-hope’s 2026 MAMA Awards nominations
| Category | Nominee / nominated work |
|---|---|
| Best Collaboration | “SPAGHETTI” with LE SSERAFIM |
| Best Dance Performance — Female Group | “SPAGHETTI” by LE SSERAFIM featuring j-hope |
Why these nominations matter
The two category entries are connected to the same release but recognize different things. Best Collaboration lists “SPAGHETTI” with LE SSERAFIM, while the female-group dance-performance category lists the track as a LE SSERAFIM performance featuring j-hope. The nomination should be described as a collaborative credit, not as a standalone solo nomination for j-hope.
Could j-hope win at the 2026 MAMA Awards?
The nominations place j-hope in the conversation for the listed categories, but they do not establish a favorite or guarantee a win. Each category has its own nominees and criteria, so predictions should be treated as analysis and checked against official announcements.
When are the 2026 MAMA Awards?
The ceremony is scheduled for November 20–21, 2026, at KYOCERA DOME OSAKA in Osaka, Japan. See CJ ENM’s event announcement and the official Mnet Plus page for updates.

j-hope: Top 3 Contenders in the Collaboration Race
j-hope appears in collaboration coverage through “SPAGHETTI” with LE SSERAFIM. Collaboration awards should be assessed on how the artists’ contributions work together and on the nominated recording’s performance under the official criteria—not on an individual artist’s fame alone.
- LE SSERAFIM & j-hope — “SPAGHETTI”: A prominent collaboration to watch; its case depends on the song’s combined identity and verified eligible-period performance.
- aespa & G-DRAGON — “WDA (Whole Different Animal)”: A notable cross-artist collaboration to compare on creative integration and the nominated track.
- DAYOUNG & Jay Park — “Flirty”: Another collaboration entry to assess on the recording itself, its artistic fit and eligible-period data.
Method note: this is a provisional editorial watchlist, not an official ranking. Confirm the 2026 category rules and compare nominees within the same eligibility period. See CJ ENM’s criteria background, the full nominee guide and official Mnet Plus updates.
