Stray Kids and ENHYPEN each won a Grand Prize (Daesang) at the '2025 MAMA Awards,' held on the 28th and 29th in Hong Kong.
ENHYPEN won three awards on the first day, including the Grand Prize 'Fans' Choice of the Year,' 'Fans' Choice,' and 'Favorite Global Artist.' The group expressed shock and gratitude to their fandom, ENGENE, noting the win was a "precious gift" just before their 5th debut anniversary. ENHYPEN has shown huge growth this year, performing at Coachella, achieving their third double-million seller with the mini-album 'DESIRE: UNLEASH,' and drawing 676,000 fans to their recent world tour.
Stray Kids won the second day's Grand Prize, 'Album of the Year,' and 'Fans' Choice.' After offering condolences for the Hong Kong fire victims, Stray Kids thanked STAY, stating they were happy to share their music globally. They achieved the year's highest K-pop first-week sales with their 4th full album, 'KARMA' (over 3 million copies), and secured their seventh total No. 1 spot on the US Billboard 200, a first in the chart's 70-year history. These achievements secured their MAMA Grand Prize honor.
