The MAMA Awards remain one of Asia’s most celebrated cultural events, honoring not only musical excellence but also creativity in performance, fashion, and fan connection. The 2025 ceremony promises to be especially competitive, with Aespa and Jennie emerging as the top nominees, scoring nine nods each. Aespa is recognized in major categories such as Album of the Year for Whiplash and Song of the Year, while Jennie dominates the solo categories, earning three Song of the Year nominations for her chart-topping hits “Like JENNIE,” “Zen,” and “ExtraL.” Fellow BLACKPINK members ROSÉ and JISOO also secured multiple nominations, reinforcing the group’s continued global impact.
Members of BTS — Jin, J-Hope, and V — are likewise in contention for their acclaimed solo releases, underscoring the group’s lasting influence even as each artist forges their own path.
Eligible music includes works released between October 1, 2024, and September 30, 2025, with winners determined through a balanced system combining expert judging, sales performance, and fan voting.
