The CJ E&M Center Studio located in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul is the broadcast and recording centre of many Mnet programs with a studio audience, namely the live weekly music show M Countdown.[1] It is also the venue for live performances in survival shows such as Superstar K, Show Me The Money, Unpretty Rapstar, Produce 101 series, Queendom and Road to Kingdom. Other shows are filmed in CJ E&M Studio in Ilsan and CJ E&M Contents World in Paju.

History

The global website named for Mnet Global changed to MWave in April 2013. Other sites from Mnet are not affected with the change.[2]

On February 5, 2020, it was revealed that CJ ENM had begun restructuring Mnet's "We Are K-Pop" slogan and brand after the controversy behind "Produce 101" damaged the network's image.[3]

On February 24, 2020, Mnet unveiled their new brand logo along with its 25th Anniversary.,[4] Their new logo design is based on their old logo from 1995 with the addition of their current Mnet shape and colour. M2, Mwave, and the Mnet Production logo have stuck to the former design.

On May 21, 2020, Mnet reverted its logo back to its former design with Social distancing animations.
