MAMA Awards: ENHYPEN Dominates As APT Wins Song Of The Year 2025
The 2025 MAMA Awards opened at Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong, with Park Bo Gum hosting. ENHYPEN, Rosé, Bruno Mars, and IVE were major winners.
The 2025 MAMA Awards opened in Hong Kong on November 28, marking the first half of the annual two-day event at Kai Tak Stadium. Despite safety concerns following the devastating fires at Wang Fuk Court earlier this week, the organisers moved forward with Chapter 1 of the ceremony, which was hosted by Park Bo Gum. Some fans had urged for a postponement, but the event proceeded as scheduled.
ENHYPEN, Rosé, and Bruno Mars emerged as the major winners of the night. ENHYPEN secured Fans’ Choice of the Year along with two additional honours—Favorite Global Artist and a spot in the Fans’ Choice Top 10. Rosé and Bruno Mars’ collaboration “APT” claimed one of the night’s top prizes as Song of the Year.
I’ve also enjoyed a strong showing, taking home three trophies for Global Trend Song, Favorite Female Group, and Fans’ Choice Top 10. The night featured a long lineup of performances, including stages by IVE, ENHYPEN, BoyNextDoor, Yeonjun, Treasure, (G)I-DLE, Super Junior, BabyMonster, Alpha Drive One, Meovv, TWS, Hearts2Hearts, NCT Wish, and Bumsup.
