The Mnet Asian Music Award for Best Ballad/R&B Performance was an award presented annually by CJ E&M Pictures (Mnet) from 1999 to 2009.
It was first awarded at the 1st Mnet Asian Music Awards ceremony held in 1999; Jo Sungmo won the award for his ballad performance in "For Your Soul", and it is given in honor for the artist/s with the best ballad performance in the music industry.
