MAMA Awards Proceeds Amidst Hong Kong Tragedy

The MAMA Awards has announced modifications to its upcoming ceremony in response to the deadly fire that recently devastated Hong Kong. While the red carpet event has been cancelled, the main awards ceremony is set to broadcast live from Hong Kong's Kai Tak Stadium as originally planned. This decision aims to acknowledge the tragedy while still offering a platform for music.

The awards body confirmed that the 2025 MAMA Awards will incorporate a "Support Hong Kong" message and will be making donations to aid the victims of the fire. In a statement, they expressed belief in music's power to heal and unite, promising a ceremony focused on comfort and hope rather than just dazzling production. They aim for a responsible event that offers solace.

Hong Kong experienced its worst fire in nearly 80 years, claiming at least 94 lives and leaving many missing. Authorities have arrested three construction company officials on suspicion of manslaughter, citing the use of unsafe materials like flammable foam boards that blocked windows.
