The group ENHYPEN lifted the grand prize trophy at the 2025 MAMA AWARDS (hereafter "2025 MAMA").
ENHYPEN (Jungwon, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, Ni-ki) won the 'VISA Fans' Choice of the Year' (VISA FANS' CHOICE OF THE YEAR), one of the four grand prizes, at the '2025 MAMA' held on the 28th at Hong Kong Kai Tak Stadium. They also took the main awards 'Fans' Choice' (FANS' CHOICE) and 'Telasa Global Favorite Artist' (TELASA GLOBAL FAVORITE ARTIST), bringing their total to three crowns. Because all three categories select winners by fan votes, it underscored ENHYPEN's solid global popularity.
ENHYPEN first expressed condolences, saying, "We extend our sympathies to the many people affected by the fire." They continued, "We didn't expect to receive the grand prize today, so we are stunned that our dream has come true," adding, "In two days (Nov. 30) it will be our fifth debut anniversary. So I feel this award is a precious gift from ENGENE (the fandom's name)."
ENHYPEN said, "If ENGENE hadn't existed, this moment would not have happened," and vowed, "We will work to show newer and more developed aspects. We will keep moving forward." They also thanked producer Bang Si-hyuk and members of their agency Belift Lab Inc., saying, "Thank you for always respecting us and guiding us to be better people."
That day ENHYPEN presented stages under the theme "Crimson Broken," performing 'No Doubt' and 'Bad Desire (With or Without You).' The sacred atmosphere of these performances brought immersion. The seven members closed the first day of the 2025 MAMA with performances that showcased the essence of music — dances and live vocals performed with all their might that connected everyone as one despite language differences.
ENHYPEN achieved remarkable growth this year through repeated new challenges. In April they made an impression on global music fans at the United States' largest music festival, Coachella. In June they released their sixth mini album DESIRE : UNLEASH, adding a third "double million seller" to their catalog, and in July and August they held solo concerts at stadiums in Japan. Through the world tour WALK THE LINE, which concluded in October, they met about 676,000 fans and expanded their influence.
Meanwhile, prior to the 2025 MAMA, ENHYPEN also won the grand prizes 'D Awards Black Label Album of the Year' and 'Album of the Year' at the awards ceremonies 'D Awards' and ASEA (ASIA STAR ENTERTAINER AWARDS), respectively. With this, ENHYPEN has already taken the grand prize for the third time this year.
