On November 29, the second part of the 2025 MAMA Awards took place at Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong. Actress Cha Joo Young, attending MAMA for the first time, presented multiple awards that evening. She first announced JO1 as the winner of the Favorite Asian Artist category. The group gratefully accepted the honor, thanking fans for their unwavering support.

Cha Joo Young then moved on to present the Breakthrough Artist award, which went to AllDay Project. Taking the stage with gratitude and composure, the group began their speech by expressing condolences for the victims of the recent Hong Kong fire disaster, which claimed over 100 lives and led to a three-day national mourning period.

Following their heartfelt tribute, the members said, “Thank you so much to Teddy and to all our staff. We’re honored to participate in our first MAMA on such a meaningful stage. Just like the name of this award, we will continue to break limits and be a group that always takes on challenges.”

They added, “We deeply thank our fans who love us just the way we are. We promise to become a group that can repay that love.”

The group has recently gained attention as member Annie was revealed to be the daughter of Shinsegae’s president Chung Yoo Kyung, further adding to public interest in the group’s background.

The 2025 MAMA Awards adopted the theme “UH-HEUNG”, celebrating individuality, courage, and cultural diversity—encouraging artists and fans alike to embrace themselves without fear.
