The organizers of the ‘2025 MAMA Awards’, as well as several major K-pop companies and groups, have just donated a significant amount to assist victims of the Hong Kong fires.
On November 28, it was revealed that the ‘2025 MAMA Awards’ organizers, CJ ENM, have now donated 3.8 billion won to the fire relief fund set up by the Hong Kong government.
