Rapper Binz was named Best Asian Artist after a busy year. In 2020, his hit "Bigcityboi" has raked in over 67 million YouTube views and entered the video-sharing site’s Top Trending list in several countries within 12 hours of its July premiere.

Binz, real name Le Nguyen Trung Dan, 32, was born in Central Highlands' Gia Lai Province before relocating to the US. He has been part of the Vietnamese underground music community since 2007 and started earning popularity in 2017, after returning to Vietnam.

US entertainment website Billboard once said the rapper has a very distinctive sound and "a husky rap style that seamlessly transforms into his signature vocal flow, which some consider romantic."

Best Choreographer of the Year went to Quang Dang, whose performance in the "LoveNote" music video impressed judges at the South Korean awards.

The choreographer, surprised at the award he earned, called it the greatest of his career and expressed his appreciation to audiences and his teammates at LifeDance dance studio.

In February, his gestures and dance steps based on the "Ghen Co Vy" song went viral on Chinese video-sharing social network TikTok.

As a major South Korean event, MAMA 2020 honors talented artists for their contribution to musical development across Asia. This year's ceremony was held with no live audience due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It was the 22nd in the show's history.
