As the two-day global music showcase began on November 28, 2025, in Hong Kong, the first round of the 2025 MAMA Awards Day 1 winners list has now been unveiled. This year’s ceremony carries a noticeably solemn tone, as organisers modified the event following the devastating fire tragedy in the city. While the red carpet segment was cancelled entirely and several high-energy stages were restructured, Day 1 still marked a significant celebration of Asian artists and their creative achievements.
IVE, Enhypen, Stray Kids, Riize, Cortis, Hearts2Hearts, and more were among the first artists to be honoured during Day 1 of 2025 MAMA Awards, with additional winners continuing to be announced LIVE throughout the evening.
