A Ceremony of Respect Amidst Tragedy
This year's MAMA Awards are being held under a somber shadow due to a massive fire in Hong Kong's Tai Po district, which claimed at least 128 lives. In response to this tragedy, the event's tone has been scaled down to one of respect and solidarity. The organizers, CJ ENM, confirmed the show would proceed but with a more subdued atmosphere, cancelling the planned red-carpet event as a mark of respect.
They released a statement expressing their deepest condolences to the victims and their families. In a powerful show of support, many of the performing K-pop artists have pledged donations to aid the victims and relief efforts in Hong Kong.
How to Watch the Event Live
For Indian fans eager to catch all the action, the MAMA Awards 2025 Day 2 will be broadcast live on Mnet TV and streamed via the Mnet mobile app. In a significant first, the ceremony will also be available for live streaming on HBO Max, making it more accessible than ever.
This evening is poised to be a unique blend of celebration and compassion, highlighting the resilience of the global community and the unifying power of music during challenging times.
