K-Pop's Next Gen Stars Set to Dominate 2025 TMA - This Lineup Will Leave You Speechless
The K-pop world is buzzing with excitement as six of the industry's most promising acts have been confirmed for the 2025 The Fact Music Awards (TMA). The lineup reads like a who's who of next-generation talent - NEXZ, BOYNEXTDOOR, NMIXX, NCT WISH, KiiiKiii, and Hearts2Hearts are all set to grace the stage at Macao's Outdoor Performance Venue on September 20th.
This announcement has sent fans into overdrive, and honestly, who can blame them? These aren't just any random groups - they're the ones reshaping what it means to be a K-pop idol in 2025. Think of it like watching the next Shah Rukh Khan or Deepika Padukone before they became superstars, except this time it's happening in the music world.
Global Domination Mode - Activated
NEXZ
has been on an absolute tear since their global debut last year.
These guys didn't just enter the scene - they bulldozed their way in with trendy music and stage presence that could make even the most seasoned performers jealous. Their recent mini-album "O-RLY?" topped both real-time music charts and weekly album charts in Korea, proving they're not just another flash in the pan.
BOYNEXTDOOR
continues to build their empire with back-to-back million-selling albums. Their latest release "No Genre" sold over 1.16 million copies in its first week alone - numbers that would make any Bollywood music director weep with envy.
With a Japanese release planned for August, these boys are clearly thinking beyond borders, much like how our desi artists are now eyeing international markets.
The Girls Are Bringing the Heat
NMIXX
has been serving up their signature "MIXX POP" - a genre-blending style that's as refreshing as a Mumbai monsoon after a scorching summer. Their recent album "Fe3O4: FORWARD" showcased an even more diverse musical spectrum, proving they're not afraid to experiment and push boundaries.
Meanwhile,
NCT WISH
achieved something remarkable - their mini-album "poppop" hit million-seller status within just one week of release. That's faster than most of us can finish binge-watching a web series! Their recent eight-month Asian tour wrapped up successfully, cementing their status as global superstars in the making.
Fresh Faces Making Big Waves
The newest additions to the K-pop scene are making waves that would put any Goa beach to shame.
KiiiKiii
debuted in March and immediately shot to the top of music charts and won on major broadcast music shows. Their "GenZ beauty" concept resonates perfectly with young audiences who value authenticity and individuality - qualities that today's generation prizes above everything else.
Hearts2Hearts
might be the newest kids on the block, having debuted in February with "The Chase," but they've already captured hearts with their mysterious vibes and unique musical style.
Their recent comeback with the upbeat track "STYLE" has been winning over global fans through various short-form content and performances.
The 2025 TMA will be held at Macao's Outdoor Performance Venue, which can accommodate around 50,000 spectators. This marks the first time a Korean-hosted awards ceremony will be held at this venue, making it a historic moment for K-pop. The outdoor setting promises to deliver a completely different energy compared to traditional indoor ceremonies - imagine the electric atmosphere of a massive cricket match, but with incredible music and performances.
What's particularly exciting is how these artists represent the evolution of K-pop. They're not just following established formulas; they're creating their own paths, much like how young Indian creators are redefining entertainment through platforms like YouTube and Instagram. The global music landscape is changing, and these groups are leading that transformation.

In A PoP World, A Couple Sticks To Clay & Ethical Craftsmanship
Nagpur: With Plaster of Paris (PoP) idols back in circulation, traditional clay sculptors are facing an existential crisis. For Prashant and Nisha Mahurkar, a couple who has dedicated decades to crafting eco-friendly idols, the new reality is not just challenging, but disheartening. "We spend days, sometimes weeks, handcrafting an idol. Each piece is a tribute to the Bappa," says Prashant, gently brushing dust off a half-finished Ganesha in his modest Nagpur workshop. "But POP idols? They're mass-produced and sold in minutes. They're cheaper and that's hard to compete with." The return of POP, which is harmful to the environment and banned by several state pollution boards until recently, has tilted the scales further against traditional artisans. Mahurkar recently received a request for a 'Military Ganpati' , an idol of Lord Ganesha holding a rifle. "I asked them if we could replace the weapon with a Tiranga (Indian tricolour). They agreed. That's our job to preserve sanctity, not just sculpt forms. " His wife, Nisha, who handles the final finishing of the idols, echoes his sentiment. "Sometimes people come with the most bizarre demands. Once, a family brought a photo of Ganeshji styled after a cartoon character, holding an oversized modak. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo We knew their intention was to please their kids, but we felt the need to change certain aspects," she says. "We explained the importance of maintaining the deity's sanctity, suggested gentler modifications, and thankfully, they understood." But far more than quirky customer requests, what keeps the Mahurkars up at night is the mounting cost of keeping their craft alive. The couple finds it increasingly difficult to hire and retain daily wage workers. "We can't afford to pay unskilled help anymore," Nisha explains. "And it takes time to train them, this work isn't just about moulding clay. It requires a deep understanding of balance, drying, and layering." Prashant adds, "We spend more time training than actually creating. And yet, we have to meet deadlines." They admit that taking shortcuts could make the business more profitable. "We could switch to POP and fool customers. But how will we sleep at night?" he asks. "This isn't just a business. This is our legacy, our offering to God." In a world where mass production reigns, the Mahurkars' stand is both rare and courageous, a testament to devotion, ethics, and a dying art.

Ganpati mandals rejoice as HC permits idol immersion in sea
Mumbai: Ganpati mandals are relieved at Thursday's Bombay High Court order permitting PoP idols over 6 ft tall to be immersed in the sea. They had been wary of organising full fledged celebrations in the absence of proper permissions. Now that the curbs have been lifted they are going ahead full steam with their usual tall moortis, decoration and fundraising. Ankur Lad, spokesperson for Khetwadi Cha Vighnaharta of Girgaum, said artificial tanks were not suited to tall moortis. "PoP idols of 20-25 ft contain metal and iron rods and frames inside for support. In fact even clay idols of that height, like Girgaon Cha Raja, have wood inside. Such idols won't dissolve at all, because how deep can you make artificial ponds," he reasoned. Even as the tug of war over PoP was under way, some mandals voluntarily switched to eco-friendly raw material. Rajendra Sawant, secretary of the 77-year-old Ambedkar Nagar mandal in Worli, said, "Our 10 ft idol was usually made of PoP. But after the earlier ban and concerns over environment safety we used a clay idol. This year it is carved from tissue paper. The decision had to be made quickly as we were sceptical about waiting for the decision over PoP immersion. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Private Browsers That Keep You Safe vividtrendlab Undo " You Can Also Check: Mumbai AQI | Weather in Mumbai | Bank Holidays in Mumbai | Public Holidays in Mumbai Abhinay Hate of Kandivali Cha Vighnaharta said their idol is 14 ft tall. "We too were tense about the ban even though we immerse our idol in a pond in any case. But this time there is no confirmation yet for the protocol to be followed at the pond where we usually go. The HC order is a big relief, though." The prominent Chandanwadi Ganeshotsav mandal near Marine Lines hosts a 26 ft tall moorti. Secretary Prathamesh Sakpal said, "Thousands of Ganpati idols are immersed every year amid processions that include lakhs of people. It would be problematic if there was an interruption." In Andheri West, the Saat Bangla Cha Raja stands 22 ft tall. Vice president Amith Kadam said, "Immersion of tall idols beyond 6 ft would have been impossible to execute in artificial tanks. Thanks to the HC order we can now continue our preparations with ease." Santosh Narkar, newly elected chairman of Khetwadi Cha Raja in Girgaum said their idol is 31 ft tall. "Our moortikar Aniket Shevale has carved an outstanding idol this year."
