2025 MAMA AWARDS Full Nominations List: BLACKPINK’s Jennie and Rosé, BTS’ Jin, SEVENTEEN and more nab multiple nods

This year’s edition of the MAMA Awards is all set to become one of the biggest! With anticipation at an all-time high, the nominations for all its categories have been announced. BLACKPINK’s Jennie has emerged as the most nominated name at the ceremony, with Rosé, SEVENTEEN, aespa, and more following closely. The BTS members have grabbed solo nominations, with the team being left out of any group nominations owing to their military hiatus.
