CORTIS and Hearts2Hearts win ‘Best New Artist’ at the 2025 MAMA Awards!

I can safely say, H2H winning this award was the most surprising thing for me.

Have you been ignoring all the scores and predictions they’ve been leading since it came out!

It’s was:

1 - H2H

2 - Kickflip

3 - CORTIS

4 - ADP

Then CORTIS took 2nd place then with judge scores the top 2 won

I didn't see any of those, because I never cared about that, tbh.

The last time I pay attention to MAMA or MMA it was in 2019 I think. Anyway, at least it's not the devil. HYBE still won, so fck it.😂

I don't really get the obsession with Cortis tbh, but I'm not into boy groups anymore, so. I think most people follow them because they think they can be the next BTS.💀

It’s funny I’m just reading a post where someone is slamming H2H for winning and knets are defending them saying the same exact thing I said

The results are there for everyone to see! ADP are only leading the charting category in Korea but everything else is quite low compared to H2H and CORTIS who are average/ above average in every category!

CORTIS did deserve this win despite if people think so or not Considering they haven’t been around for long they’ve quickly caught up and have surpassed other rookies in these categories!

I actually really like CORTIS! Their music is catchy but the members are really likeable! I see why Keonho is the center too! He oddly reminds me of Ian! They’re themselves and very unpolished but likeable I like that about 5th gen idols in general they seem to be less polished and less proper, similar to early kpop before idols had to pretend they only have 1 personality and watch their every move!

Not sure why they're slamming them. Aren't they the best-selling 5th gen girl group or something?🤔

I don't know much about CORTIS, so I can't judge them, especially their music, but I do think people overhyping them on SNS, and I usually ignore everything that is overhyped for obvious reasons. Especially if it comes from HYBE.😅

It gets me everytime I remember IZ*ONE won when they debuted like 1-2 days before MAMA's eligible period was over and i-dle had more success during 2018.

Queens tho, MAMA was onto something here

I posted in the wrong foreveraespa thread, It was this one

Thought they were overhyped before I actually watched a performance of theirs
Very few kpop groups get me excited or give me chills. Most of the time it feels like routine routine routine.

or seen this formula before...
for me, polished gets boring fast
im the type to click off if 1. the group or idol is lip syncing and 2. if all they're doing is looking pretty and uniform for the camera
this group does neither, they will risk not looking pretty or sounding perfect for hyping up the crowd
even though im not a huge fan of their music
im a sucker for good live performers so I think they deserve their hype.

Maybe I'll check them out one day, but I have 50+ groups and I can barely keep up with my TOP3. 😂

Congrats to them both. H2H had a good first year, I am glad for them.
