◇Who is the main character of the award that G-Dragon said he would not miss?
Attention is also focusing on this year's protagonist of the Music Visionary of the Year, which was newly established last year and drew attention when the first winner was announced. This award goes beyond just the achievements of the year and contains the heritage of 'MAMA AWARDS', which is presented to icons who read the trends of the times and presented the direction of K-pop. As the award is given to an unrivaled icon who has contributed greatly to the K-pop industry with musical challenges and pioneering spirit by 'MAMA AWARDS', which has served as a non-journalist for K-pop for 26 years, this year is emerging as a pressing concern about who will reveal the new era of K-pop. G-Dragon's acceptance speech last year, which is considered an artist who opened a new horizon by leading the world's cheering K-pop era, also became a hot topic. G-Dragon said, `I don't know if it's an award I won't get once, but I won't miss it next year either"I left a witty comment. In addition, on the first day, Chapter 1, awards for singers and genres will be held as well as the 'Fans'Choice' category, where the winners are decided by fans' choice. On the second day of Chapter 2, an award will be held in earnest to highlight artists who have achieved outstanding musical achievements throughout the year, and a place to honor the high-quality musicality of K-POP and the contribution of artists will be prepared.

◇'Hum' explodes! From the opening, a different iKONIC stage feast! the interaction of the stars across genres
The 2025 MAMA AWARDS, which runs for two days on November 28 and 29, seeks to differentiate itself from the opening with the theme stages of Chapters 1 and 2. This year's concept is 'UH-HEUNG(uh-hung)', which encompasses various regions, races, and cultures and means a cry that is not afraid of 'accepting oneself as it is and living like myself'. The opening of Chapter 1, which will amplify 'Excitement' most intensely to open the ceremony worldwide, will feature the mega-cru mission 'Mongyeong of Mnet 's 'World of Street Woman Fighter', where the pan-cruised team, beloved by the mega-cru mission 'Mongyeong', will be on stage, with host Park Bo-gum, artists Boynextdoor, Cortis, and Treasure presenting a new reinterpretation of 'Excitement' under the theme of 'K-Hip'. The opening of Chapter 2 will begin with a message performance by host Kim Hye-soo and Stray Kids' Felix. Then, Sung Han-bin of Zero Base One and Kyoka, a world-famous dancer familiar with World of Street Woman Fighter, will decorate the exclusive theme stage. In addition, K-pop artists and K-content stars are preparing a stage. Global stars such as Yang Ja-kyung and Joo Yoon-bal, who are called legends, are also making headlines by announcing their attendance. World-class figures, who led the trend and dominated the public's love throughout 2025, are expected to come together to become a place of communion that transcends genres and generations to become one with music.
The title sponsor will be Visa, a global payment technology company, for "2025 MAMA AWARDS". It will be held at Kaitak Stadium in Hong Kong, which is attracting attention as Asia's mega-event hub, on November 28 and 29 local time, and will be joined by K-pop fans around the world in real-time global live broadcasts through various digital platforms, including Mnet Plus.
