The first day of the prestigious K-Pop music awards event MAMA Awards 2024 was finally officially held, precisely on Thursday November 21, 2024, Los Angeles time, United States or on Friday November 22, 2024 KST.
Hosted by main presenter Park Bo Gum, the 2024 MAMA Awards were held at the Dolby Theater, Los Angeles, and attended by a number of famous K-Pop idols such as RIIZE , TWS, ILLIT, JY Park, Anderson Paak, Young Posse, and Katseye.
On this occasion, there were 5 award categories announced. Among them were the Male Rookie Award won by TWS, the Female Rookie Award won by ILLIT, and the Best Dance Performance (Male Group) won by TWS, Favorite Global Male Performer won by RIIZE, and the special Inspiring Achievement award given to JY Park.
Quoting from Allkpop , boy group RIIZE especially stole fans' attention with their touching victory speech. They said, "A year has passed since our debut, and a lot of things have happened. Things that you all must know. However, we will try to keep moving forward."
"We had many discussions with our company openly, and we received reliable support. We are always grateful to the fans throughout this process, and our greatest wish is for RIIZE and BRIIZE to always protect each other," he added.
As is known, since their debut in September 2023, the boy group RIIZE has been hit by many trials, including the hiatus of their former member Seunghan several months after their debut. Seunghan was announced to be returning to RIIZE last October 2024. However, he was forced to leave 2 days later.
He was also recently announced to be making a solo debut by SM Entertainment.
RIIZE supporters are divided between global fans who want RIIZE to remain with 7 members and local supporters in South Korea who want RIIZE to continue with 6 members, which certainly creates a dilemma for the RIIZE group members.
Despite this, they are trying to keep moving forward and show their best for the fans. On the other hand, the 2024 MAMA Awards day 2 and 3 will still be held at the Kyocera Dome, Japan on November 22 and 23, 2024.
