It's MAMA season again! The 2025 MAMA Awards is roaring to life with its fiercest lineup yet, bringing together a powerhouse of nominees and performers for a two-day spectacle in Hong Kong.
This year marks the first time since 2018 that the annual MAMA Awards event will return to Hong Kong, taking place at the Kai Tak Stadium on Nov. 28 and 29, and coinciding with Mnet's 30th anniversary.

Themed "Hear My Roar: Uh-Heung," the event draws inspiration from the sound of a tiger, symbolizing South Korean entertainment industry's strength and passion. CJ ENM defined it as "the distinctly Korean spirit of fun and excitement that has captivated global audiences," as quoted by Forbes.
"As this is Mnet's 30th anniversary, we are returning to Hong Kong, which has hosted the most MAMA Awards in the past and continues to be a major hub for the K-pop concert market," the organizers shared, as quoted by the Hallyu news outlet Soompi.
