K-Pop artists win top prizes at 2022 MTV VMAs

BTS, BLACKPINK, SEVENTEEN 쾌거 2022 MTV VMAs 시상식 결과

In entertainment news.
South Korean artists won big at the MTV Video Music Awards over the weekend.
BTS continued their winning streak, with MTV viewers naming them Group of the Year.
Awards also for BLACKPINK and SEVENTEEN with the award for Best K-Pop going to BLACKPINK member Lisa.
Kim Do-yeon has the details.
K-Pop stars shined brightly at this year's MTV's Video Music Awards.
BTS took home their 4th consecutive Group of the Year award... beating out other prominent nominees such as K-Pop's biggest girl group BLACKPINK, and rock stars M neskin and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Unfortunately, BTS's Army fan group, were unable to see the septet live in action as the band did not attend this year's ceremony in person after the group announced they'd be taking a break back in June.
BLACKPINK fans, though, were thrilled, as the group won in the brand new Best Metaverse Performance category,... for their virtual concert in the mobile game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
And there was more from BLACKPINK as they took to the stage to perform their new song "Pink Venom".
Released just 11 days ago, the song is currently No. 1 on YouTube's Global Top Songs chart.
Member Lisa also picked up the "Best K-Pop" award for her debut solo single "LALISA."
She faced tough competition from other K-Pop artists like BTS, TWICE and SEVENTEEN.
But, for her many fans it wasn't a big surprise.

"Her followers on instagram is 2x. She has two times more followers on instagram than certain individual members of Bts.
And so her social media power. And if you just translate that into their ability to vote online. It's not a surprise."

SEVENTEEN, despite falling short in the best K-Pop category... did win their first award at this ceremony.
The boyband surprised their fans by winning the award for the "Push Performance of the Year" for their song "Rock With You."
Push Performance of the Year is awarded to the artist who gave the best performance in last year's MTV PUSH campaign.
"I think SEVENTEEN might be the biggest K-Pop boy band in the world that we don't know about or talk about enough.
Last year they had two albums among the top ten best selling albums in the world CDs. And just this year alone they've already had two albums debut in the billboard 200 in the top ten."

Artists who won in other categories include the Red Hot Chili Peppers for Best Rock, Nicki Minaj for Best Hip-Hop, and Taylor Swift's "All Too Well" for Video of the Year.

I don't like comparisons between BTS and Blackpink and especially between individual members. They are very different groups both with outstanding qualities. Comparisons just fuel fan wars. We should celebrate both artists for their accomplishments and achievements and not compete! As to Seventeen, Well done guys. Carats will be mighty proud of you!

[sharvinsandhya]

I am so happy. Congratulations Queen Lisa and Blackpink 🖤💗🌟

I honestly don't give a damn about fan wars between different fanbase. I am just so genuinely happy for Lisa for making history in VMAs. With all that she have been through - racism, misogynistic, poor promotions with her solo projects, YG entertainment not releasing her total counts of sold albums, her being a foreigner getting paid way lesser, SK music awards/shows snubbing her, stylist making her dress up ugly clothes (would you believe they made her wear what back-up dancers clothes already used multiple times!), unwarranted mistreatment and threats from delulu fans because she was highly ships with their idols (as if she wanted to), toxic fans treated her as if she is a loser compare to their idols like as if she is nobody 🙄 - despite all these BS, she persevered, still humble, works harder, always smile & grateful. She is a great example for upcoming generation, as a K-Pop idol and as a human being. May she break more records to come!

BTW, for those saying YG pays VMAs for the awards, you are a joke. I bet VMAs want Lisa to perform her solo but YG did not allow it, so they have to perform their new release song as a group that has nothing got to do with the nominations - in any case, they should have performed I'm Ready for Love (Metaverse category win) for group performance. I kind of understand why YG did not let Lisa to perform alone, because its a debut performance in US awards shows but still they should have put a spot for Lisa to perform her solo as she is the first soloist ever to do so then Rose, Jennie and Jisoo comes in for group performance just like what they did before. Definitely they are not fair with her.
