Fans attending Asia’s biggest K-pop awards show to be held at Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Stadium in November can expect to see Oscar-winning actress Michelle Yeoh, the global debut of a new song by South Korean boy band Stray Kids and a special collaboration with Netflix animated series KPop Demon Hunters .

The event organisers on Wednesday announced the highlights of the 2025 MAMA Awards, featuring performances by more than 25 acts, ranging from rookie groups to K-pop veterans.

The award show, returning to Hong Kong for the first time since 2018, will take place at the city’s 50,000-seat Kai Tak Stadium, four times larger than the previous venue at the Asia-World Arena.

With more than 15 awards up for grabs, the show will be held across two days, on November 28 and 29.

The sold-out event is expected to draw K-pop fans from across the world to Hong Kong, including mainland Chinese fans discussing how to travel to the venue on social media platform RedNote.

Oscar-winning actress Yeoh, renowned for her iconic roles in films such as Everything Everywhere All at Once and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon , will appear at the event as a presenter.

South Korean actor Park Bo-gum, the host for the first evening, will perform a new interpretation of the traditional Korean song “Kwaejina Ching Ching” with members of boy groups Boynextdoor, Cortis, Treasure and dance crew Bumsup.
