According to the announcement from the organizers, Blackpink received a nomination for the category of "Group of the Year", and the four members Lisa, Jennie, Rose and Jisoo also appeared in the individual nomination list.
This is the first time in the history of the VMAs that a group has been honored both collectively and as a member in the same year.
In particular, Rose stood out as the K-pop artist with the most nominations of the year, ranging from " video of the year", "Song of the year" to "Best visual effects" thanks to the two songs "APT" and "Toxic till the End".
Jennie and Jisoo received their first solo nominations for Like JENNIE and Earthquake in the Best K-pop Song category.
Lisa alone continued to consolidate her position when receiving her sixth nomination at the VMAs, maintaining the title of the most successful K-pop solo artist in the award's history.
This achievement once again affirms that Blackpink deserves the title of "Queen of K-pop", not only making an impression in the group stage, but also expanding their strong influence in their personal path.
