The night witnessed histories being made!
On November 28, KST, the first night of Mnet‘s iconic year-end award show, MAMA Awards, took place in Hong Kong.
Though it was just the first night, the event witnessed some historical moments in K-Pop. Here are the artists who achieved some key”firsts” on this night:
1. BLACKPINK’s Rosé
This year, Rosé made history by winning the “Song of the Year” award, becoming the first and only K-pop female soloist to win in this category. She is also the first soloist in a decade to win Song of the Year at MAMAs since BIGBANG‘s Taeyang (2014).
