Also, the Korean government has tightened entry restrictions in the country due to Omicron, the new strain of COVID-19. Therefore regardless of their vaccination status, any person visiting South Korea on or after December 3 must self-quarantine for ten days.

BTS is presently carrying out activities in Los Angeles, California. They also have a performance on December 3 at the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour 2021. Because the 2021 MAMA is on December 11, BTS will not be able to complete their 10-day self-quarantine in time once they reach South Korea.
