On November 29th, the 2023 MAMA Awards held the second day of their two-part event at the Tokyo Dome in Japan. Following SEVENTEEN's jaw-dropping performance of their hit songs "God of Music" and "Super," fans cheered even more when it was revealed that the boy group won "Album of the Year" for their 10th mini album, "FML." The award is even made more meaningful as this is one of the event's grand prize, also known as Daesang. This is also SEVENTEEN's first time winning a daesang at the MAMA Awards since debuting in 2015.
