Melon announced the fourth lineup for the '17th Melon Music Awards (MMA2025)' on the 14th, revealing a diverse roster of artists supported by Melon’s internal data and analytics.
A broad range of performers active across different genres will take the stage this year. The lineup includes Jay Park, 10cm, Zico, EXO, WOODZ, HANRORO and ALPHA DRIVE ONE.
Several well-known artists are returning to the MMA stage after long intervals. Jay Park will appear for the first time in 16 years since he last attended in 2009. Zico is returning after nine years, and EXO is set to appear again after six years.
Jay Park is expected to energize Gocheok Dome with a powerful performance together with the rookie boy group LNGSHOT and hip-hop crews from his label, H1GHR MUSIC.
The duo 10cm will deliver their signature warm and emotional vocals. Their track “To Reach You” experienced a major resurgence earlier this year, and fans anticipate a live performance that recreates the song’s heartfelt atmosphere.
Zico’s stage is also a key point of interest. As both an artist and the head producer of KOZ Entertainment, audiences are curious about the unique concept he will present at 'MMA2025.'
EXO will return to the event after completing their military service. They are known for their many hit songs, including “Growl,” “Overdose” and “CALL ME BABY.”
WOODZ will make his first MMA appearance. His self-produced track “Drowning” recently rose to No. 1 on Melon’s Top 100 chart while he is still serving in the military.
Singer-songwriter HANRORO, known for her hit “Let Me Love My Youth,” will also attend. Her music captures the emotions of youth, earning her the title of a “Gen Z rockstar.”
ALPHA DRIVE ONE, a rookie group formed through the Mnet show 'Boys 2 Planet,' will appear at 'MMA2025' ahead of their official debut. Their participation signals the arrival of a highly anticipated new act.
This year’s ceremony will be held under the slogan “Play The Moment,” which invites audiences to enjoy and share every moment connected through music.
Ticket reservations will be available through Melon Ticket. Members with Gold status or higher will receive priority on the 24th, and the second reservation period will open on the 27th.
Announcements regarding the 'MMA2025' Top 10 and category-specific voting will be released sequentially on Melon’s official event page.
