Awards and recognition

Other winners included Rosé and Bruno Mars for Song of the Year (“APT.”). BoyNextDoor bagged the Favorite Male Group, and Cortis and Hearts2Hearts were named Best New Artist, as per Soompi.

Tone of ceremony, respect and solidarity

The 2025 MAMA Awards are taking place against the backdrop of a major tragedy: a massive fire in the Tai Po district of Hong Kong killed at least 128 people, prompting public grief across the city.

Despite the disaster, the organisers, CJ ENM, confirmed the show will continue as planned, though in a more subdued, respectful tone. “We express our deepest condolences to those who lost their lives in the fire in Hong Kong,” the organisers stated. The planned red‑carpet event was cancelled, Koreaboo reported.

Performers and K‑pop artists have also pledged donations to aid the victims and relief efforts, as per an Associated Press report.

A night of music, memory, and hope

Day 2 of MAMA Awards 2025 promises to deliver a powerful mix of dynamic performances, big-name collaborations, and important awards, all under the shadow of recent tragedy in Hong Kong. The evening represents not just a celebration of music but also a testament to solidarity, resilience, and the unifying power of art in difficult times.
