HUNTR/X and Saja Boys from the hit Netflix animated film KPop Demon Hunters will be brought to life by K-pop stars from various groups for a special performance at the 2025 MAMA Awards.

In October, EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami — the singing voices behind Rumi, Mira, and Zoey — made their live debut as the fictional group, performing “Golden” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Additionally, other highly anticipated performances at the two-day ceremony include G-Dragon, Stray Kids, ENHYPEN, i-dle, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, Super Junior, and aespa, among others.

The 2025 MAMA Awards will take place on November 28 and 29 at Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong and will be livestreamed on HBO Max.

This year’s edition revealed its nominees in October, stars like JENNIE of BLACKPINK, as well as the group aespa leading the charge with nods, while rookie groups such as AHOF, ALLDAYPROJECT, and AHOF also earned nominations in various categories.

First held in South Korea in 1999, the MAMA Awards — formerly the Mnet Asian Music Awards — are presented annually by CJ ENM, with most of its accolades over the years going to K-pop artists.
