"Kedeheon" is expected to appear at the "MAMA Awards."
On the 11th at the CJ ENM Center Talent Studio, the 2025 MAMA AWARDS press premiere was held.
'MAMA Awards' began in 1999 as Mnet's 'Music Video Awards' and in 2009 declared itself the first Asian music awards in Korea, changing its name to Mnet ASIAN MUSIC AWARDS. As K-pop's influence expanded from Asia to the global stage and the worldwide music market changed, in 2022 it was rebranded as Mnet AWARDS.
The 2025 MAMA AWARDS adopted "UH-HEUNG" as this year's ceremony concept. With Park Bo-gum and Kim Hye-soo serving as hosts, this year's lineup of presenters included 25 world-class figures who led trends and captured the public's love throughout 2025, enhancing the ceremony's prestige.

Icons spanning diverse areas of K-culture will appear, from figures who expanded K-content worldwide to personalities who brought fresh charm to variety shows and stars with K-pop DNA.
On the lineup, on Nov. 28 the performers include Alphadrive1, BABYMONSTER, BOYNEXTDOOR, BUMSUP, ENHYPEN, Hearts2Hearts, (G)I-DLE, IVE, Miyao, MIRROR, NCT WISH, Super Junior, TREASURE, TWS, and others, and on Nov. 29 the performers include aespa, ALLDAY PROJECT, Cortis, G-Dragon, IDIT, Izna, Jeio, J.O.W.N, Kyoka, RIIZE, Stray Kids, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, ZEROABIZONE, and others.
In particular, producer Ma Doo-sik also hinted at a special stage that day. Ma said, "The BUMSUP team will perform on stage, and Park Bo-gum will come onto this stage. There will also be a K-hip stage that contains K-heung as its theme."
He also announced an official collaboration between "Kedeheon" and the "MAMA Awards." Ma said, "It will cross between animation and reality," noting, "We will recreate on stage the epic showdown between the Lion Boys and Huntrix," heightening expectations.
In addition, chapter 1 will feature a special stage by Super Junior, marking their 20th anniversary since debut, and in chapter 2 Stray Kids will debut a stage for an upcoming album track.
