History

The global website named for Mnet Global changed to MWave in April 2013. Other sites from Mnet are not affected with the change.{{cite web|title=Mnet|url=http://mwave.interest.me/logochange/main.m|publisher=Mwave (Global)|access-date=23 November 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304055808/http://mwave.interest.me/logochange/main.m|archive-date=4 March 2016|url-status=dead}}

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.{{Cite web|url=https://www.mk.co.kr/news/culture/view/2020/02/120244/|title=CJ ENM, '엠넷' 브랜드 개편 나선다|website=Maeil Business Newspaper|date=5 February 2020 |language=ko|access-date=2020-02-06}}

On 24 February 2020, Mnet unveiled their new brand logo along with its 25th anniversary.,{{Cite tweet|user=MnetKR|number=1231772401882427392|title=[Mnet] Channel Design Renewal 25주년을 맞아 새롭게 찾아온 Music Network Mnet! 1995년의 Mnet과 현재의 Mnet이 함께 만들어낸 새로워진 뮤직 네트워크를 만나보세요! #Mnet #엠넷 #MusicNetwork #Since1995 #25Mnet #25MnetWeekpic.twitter.com/5kyskwrfJh|last=Mnet|date=2020-02-23|website=@MnetKR|language=ko|access-date=2020-02-24}} 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|date=March 2024}}

On 21 May 2020, Mnet reverted its logo back to its former design with social distancing animations.{{citation needed|date=March 2024}}

On 24 August 2021, Mnet's new dance survival show Street Woman Fighter premiered. The opening music was a remix of the Adhan, the Islamic call to prayer, and many found this offensive. On 9 September, the Street Woman Fighter production team apologized and said they would re-upload the video with replacement music. They promised to be more careful and continue to listen to viewers' opinions in the future.{{Cite web|last=장 |first=아름|script-title=ko:'스우파' 오프닝 음원 사과 "특정 의미 없어…불편드려 사과"|url=https://entertain.naver.com/read?oid=421&aid=0005592385|access-date=2021-09-09|website=entertain.naver.com|language=ko}}
