In the context of a major fire in Hong Kong, the “2025 MAMA AWARDS” will take place as planned in Hong Kong, and the other artists will depart today (27) in the afternoon.
According to information collected by TENASIA on November 27, some rumors suggested that the “2025 MAMA AWARDS” could be canceled due to the major fire in Hong Kong, but the decision to proceed with the event was made. Thus, the artists responsible for presenting awards will leave for Hong Kong today around 3 p.m. KST.
On the eve of the “2025 MAMA AWARDS”, the morning of the 27th, KPOP artists STRAY KIDS, IVE, RIIZE, ZEROBASEONE, CORTIS, ALLDAY PROJECT, and BOYNEXTDOOR had already left the country.
On November 26 (local time) around 2 p.m. KST, a major fire broke out in a high-rise residential complex in the Tai Po area, northern Hong Kong. This fire caused at least 44 deaths, 45 people are in critical condition, and 279 are missing. The fire spread across three buildings, where it was controlled, but the other four buildings continue to be the focus of extinguishing efforts. This fire is likely to be recorded as the worst disaster in Hong Kong since the city’s return to China in 1997. Hong Kong authorities raised the fire alert level to the maximum, level 5.
