The prestigious annual MAMA Awards took place this year on November 28 and November 29 at the Tokyo Dome Stadium in Japan. Both nights were filled with amazing performances from HYBE's own SEVENTEEN, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, LE SERRAFIM, Enhypen, BoyNextDoor, &Team; as well as, stunning performances from Kep1er, Treasure, (G)i-dle, Ateez, ZeroBaseOne, Riize and so much more! My personal favorite performance of the night? It would definitely be the "Goddess Awakened" Super Stage featuring Huh Yunjin (Le Sserafim), Xiaoting (Kep1er), Bada Lee (Street Woman Fighter 2), Monika (Street Woman Fighter), and Minnie ((G)I-dle)!
