On the morning of November 11, a press premiere for the 2025 MAMA AWARDS was held at CJ ENM Center in Mapo, Seoul, where Oscar-winning actress Michelle Yeoh—referred to by many as the Queen of the Oscars—was announced as a presenter for this year’s ceremony. The event’s producer, Lee Young-ju, described the lineup as bringing “K-POP DNA” to a global audience and emphasized that Yeoh’s involvement marks a symbolic moment for MAMA’s expansion into the mainstream.

Lee noted that this year’s awards will add another meaningful page to MAMA’s history, promising a concept, hosts, and presenters of record-breaking caliber. The ceremony is scheduled for November 28–29 at Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong, marking MAMA’s first major show in the city and the stadium’s first post-opening K-POP awards ceremony. The concept for the event, HEAR MY ROAR, UH-HEUNG, aims to transcend regional, cultural, and identity boundaries and encourage attendees to live authentically.
