BLACKPINK Lisa becomes the first and only solo artist to win Best Kpop at MTV VMAs

Lisa received a prestigious award for her solo debut

At the MTV VMAs 2022 awards ceremony held on August 29 (KST) held at the Prudential Center in New Jersey, Lisa (BLACKPINK) was honored to receive the Best Kpop award. 

Specifically, Lisa and her debut song “LALISA” surpassed other formidable competitors such as BTS with “Yet To Come”, ITZY with “LOCO”, SEVENTEEN with “HOT”, Stray Kids with “MANIAC” and TWICE with “The Feels” to achieve this win.

Thus, up to now, Lisa is the only Kpop solo artist to win this award. Previously, BTS won this award for 3 consecutive years (2019, 2020 and 2021).

Lisa went on stage, took the trophy and said, “I can’t be this happy. Thank you for giving me such a happy honor at MTV VMAs.” She continued, “I am so grateful to Teddy oppa, YG, and director Seo, who worked with me on my solo project,” and said, “It’s also thanks to Blink (Blackpink fandom), and I can’t believe what this is.”

The BLACKPINK member also made a congratulatory gesture. Lisa said in Korean, “Thank you very much members and thank you for your support”, then again in English, “I hope you guys have a good night.” She then ended her speech by saying ‘thank you’ in Thai.
