BLACKPINK’s Rosé just made a historic moment at the 2025 MAMA Awards, proving that a global hit and star power make an unstoppable combo! Her song “APT.,” a collaboration with Bruno Mars, earned Song of the Year on November 28 at Kai Tak Stadium. This achievement makes her the first female K-pop soloist to ever win the Daesang for Song of the Year at MAMA, and it also marks the first time a male and female duo have taken the award. That’s a historic moment in K-pop!

The first night of MAMA 2025 was stacked with star performances from groups like BABYMONSTER, ENHYPEN, Super Junior, idle, and more. Two major Daesang trophies were handed out, with ENHYPEN taking Fans’ Choice of the Year as well. Meanwhile, fans are preparing for Day Two on November 29, and one thing is clear: Rosé’s groundbreaking win already stands as one of the standout moments of both this year’s event and the history of the show.
