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 5 February 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 24 February 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.[citation needed]

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

They promised to be more careful and continue to listen to viewers' opinions in the future.[14]
