Artists under the labels of K-pop giant HYBE swept the top honors at the 2023 MAMA Awards during the two-day ceremony held in Japan.

Organized annually by entertainment company CJ ENM, the MAMA Awards is one of South Korea's major music award shows that mostly recognizes K-pop acts but also hands out trophies to a few other Asian acts.

At this year's ceremonies, held Tuesday and Wednesday at the Tokyo Dome, rising girl group NewJeans took home two "Daesangs" (grand prizes), bagging the artist of the year award and song of the year for single "Ditto."

Boy band Seventeen, meanwhile, received the album of the year award for "FML," the extended play it released last April.

K-pop supergroup BTS won the worldwide icon of the year award, marking the the sixth consecutive year that the seven-piece act — whose members were absent from the event — snatched the prize.
