YG ENTERTAINMENT's Yang Hyun-suk, chief producer, has reportedly broken his silence after about 11 years and will participate in the '2025 MAMA AWARDS.' This is not just attendance; it is a return of a 'big name' who has led the flow of the Korean music industry, which is expected to further elevate the dignity and grace of the '2025 MAMA AWARDS.' According to the industry on the 26th, Yang Hyun-suk has confirmed his participation in the '2025 MAMA AWARDS' to be held at the Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong on the 28th and 29th. This marks his return to the scene for the first time since 2014, after about 11 years. The reason for the industry's attention to Yang Hyun-suk's move lies in the path he has walked. In the 1990s, he changed the power dynamics of the Korean music industry with Seo Taiji and Boys, and later transitioned to a producer, giving birth to top artists who dominated the era and the world, such as Jinusean, 1TYM, SE7EN, BIGBANG, 2NE1, WINNER, iKON, and BLACKPINK. As the best performer on stage and a genius producer behind the scenes, Yang Hyun-suk has laid the foundation of K-POP, and the mere fact that he will participate in this awards ceremony has garnered intense interest. Particularly, the decisive background for his participation after about 11 years is TREASURE and BABYMONSTER, groups that will carry the future of YG ENTERTAINMENT. He plans to watch over and support both groups' stages on-site. BABYMONSTER will showcase a collaborative stage with the Netflix animated film 'KPOP Girls! Demon Hunters' at this awards ceremony. With members Parita, Ahyeon, and Laura set to recreate the story from the film, expectations are high for what kind of stage will be created with Yang Hyun-suk's support and advice. TREASURE is also prepared to deliver an overwhelming performance, carrying the momentum from their successful tour. However, due to a large fire that occurred yesterday (26th) in a high-rise building in Hong Kong, resulting in numerous casualties and missing persons, the holding of the '2025 MAMA AWARDS' has become uncertain. Artists scheduled to perform have already begun to depart for the venue, and it is currently reported that the event is expected to proceed as planned, but attention is focused on future developments.
