The 2025 MAMA Awards are officially underway in Hong Kong, and fans around the world are tuning in to see one of the biggest nights in K-pop. While the full winners list isn’t available yet because the ceremony is still happening, there is already plenty to know about this year’s event.
The awards are being held on November 28 and 29 at Kai Tak Stadium, a major venue in Hong Kong. Day 1 is currently live, with winners being announced in real time. Park Bo Gum is hosting the first night, and Kim Hye Soo will take over hosting duties on Day 2.
Fans can watch the ceremony through the official streams on Mnet Plus, Mnet’s YouTube channels like Mnet K-POP and M2, as well as tvN Asia and TVING.
This year’s show carries a more solemn tone than usual. Just before the event, Hong Kong experienced a tragic residential fire in the Tai Po district, which led the organizers to cancel the red carpet out of respect for the victims. Even so, the main ceremony is continuing as planned, and the organizers have shifted the mood to focus on comfort, healing, and support.
The 2025 ceremony is the 27th edition of the MAMA Awards, often referred to as the “Grammys of Asia.” As always, the competition this year is intense. Popular categories like Best Male Group feature top names such as SEVENTEEN, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, and Stray Kids.
Best Female Artist includes major stars like TAEYEON and members of BLACKPINK. Today, Yeonjun, BABYMONSTER, ENHYPEN, MEOVV, IVE, i-dle, TWS, Hearts2Hearts, ALPHA DRIVE ONE, TREASURE, and more will perform.
More updates will continue to roll in as the ceremony progresses, and the full MAMA 2025 winners list will become available once both nights of the show have concluded.
Note: Because the 2025 MAMA Awards winners are being announced live, the list will be announced as categories are announced.
