The group Babymonster transformed into HuntRix members from "K-pop Demon Hunters" at the 2025 MAMA, showing the real power of K-pop.
Babymonster attended the 2025 MAMA AWARDS at Hong Kong's Kai Tak Stadium on the 28th and 29th of last month and performed on both days.
The most striking aspect of Babymonster's performance was that they transformed into the HuntRix members of the Netflix film "K-pop Demon Hunters" (hereafter "KDH"), which captivated the world this year.
BABYMONSTER members Parita, Ahyeon and Rora became the three-member K-pop girl group HuntRix from "KDH" and performed "What It Sounds Like" and "Golden." They appeared with hairstyles and fashions identical to HuntRix in the film, sang the film's OST and perfectly transformed into HuntRix's Lumi, Joy and Mira.
The crowd that had been swaying to their songs fell silent, and fans and viewers could not help but erupt at the vivid performance. Global fans reacted that despite the songs requiring high-level vocal technique, the group delivered unwavering live vocals, nonstop explosive high notes and the level of vocal ability expected of a "live powerhouse," confirming their limitless potential.
Particularly impressed by Babymonster's performance were the directors of "K-pop Demon Hunters."
Meggie Kang and Chris Epelhans, directors of "KDH," exchanged gifts they had prepared for each other in the waiting room before Babymonster's performance, and the directors were said to have been amazed at the level of completion in Babymonster's costumes and hair, saying it was no exaggeration to call it a live-action HuntRix.
Babymonster's "Golden" also received a hot response, raising expectations for additional collaborations between Babymonster and "KDH" in the future.
Moreover, the video of BABYMONSTER's performance is approaching 5.6 million views amid global fans' attention. The first part featuring Babymonster recorded 3.77 million views and is gaining great popularity, and the real "KDH" that appeared at the 2025 MAMA is breaking its own records.
Meanwhile, BABYMONSTER also won the main prize, the "worldwide fans' choice" award at this year's MAMA. BABYMONSTER said it was honored to receive such a wonderful award on their first appearance, adding that they believe the award was given by Monsties (their fandom name), and that they were grateful to be able to share and make memories at this moment. They said they would continue to work hard and grow as a group and asked fans to watch over them.
