Applications for 2025 MAMA AWARDS are open from August 28 (KST) to September 14 (KST) through global K-Pop content platform Mnet Plus. The SUPER FAN was first introduced in 2024 as a way to reflect diverse global K-Pop fans’ voices, enhance fan voting process, and encourage K-Pop fan engagement. Last year’s SUPER FAN attracted global participation, with SUPER FAN-created content reaching nearly 2 million posts and gaining 40 million likes.
MAMA AWARDS SUPER FANs serve as a representative of global K-Pop fans to select “FANS’ CHOICE” nominees of MAMA AWARDS. Every year, the MAMA AWARDS have continuously reflected global K-Pop trends and fan voices through the “FANS’ CHOICE” category. The SUPER FANs will also receive special benefits, including an exclusive ID card and chances to get sound check access, invitations, and accommodation to 2025 MAMA AWARDS through special missions and events.
2025 MAMA AWARDS, presented by Visa for the second consecutive year, returns to Hong Kong for the first time since 2018. Hong Kong previously hosted MAMA AWARDS for seven consecutive years from 2012-2018. The two-day awards will be held for the first time at Kai Tak Stadium, Kai Tak Sports Park in Hong Kong starting November 28. The Awards will be co-hosted by CJ ENM and Media Asia Group, and organized by Rolemodel Entertainment Group Limited.
First launched in 1999 as Korea’s first music video ceremony by CJ ENM’s music channel Mnet, the awards rebranded itself into MAMA AWARDS from the Mnet Asian Music Awards, underscoring its commitment to go global. MAMA AWARDS is dedicated to celebrating and honoring the artistry and the power of music to connect people as one. Since then, MAMA AWARDS has been at the forefront of K-pop’s global expansion by hosting the ceremony across the world, including Macao, Singapore, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Japan, and the United States.
