BLACKPINK’s Lisa made a powerful impression at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), held on September 11 at the UBS Arena in New York. The global superstar and beloved K-pop idol not only graced the stage with her electrifying performances but also secured one of the night’s prestigious awards.
Lisa took home the award for Best K-pop, marking yet another significant achievement in her already stellar career. Her recent release, "Rockstar," played a pivotal role in her nomination and victory, making this win particularly special. Upon receiving the award, Lisa expressed her gratitude, saying, “‘Rockstar’ was a meaningful comeback to me after ‘LALISA.’ This is very, very special to me.” She also took the opportunity to thank her dedicated fanbase, BLINKs, whose unwavering support continues to propel her to new heights in her solo endeavors.

This win highlights Lisa’s meteoric rise as a solo artist, further cementing her place in the international music scene. Her debut solo album, *LALISA*, took the world by storm in 2021, breaking records and showcasing her versatility as a performer. Now, with "Rockstar," Lisa continues to evolve as an artist, blending her signature style with fresh sounds and bold performances.

At the VMAs, Lisa didn’t just shine as a winner but also captivated the audience with her performances.

Her ability to fuse different musical genres, from hip-hop to pop, and effortlessly switch between intense rap verses and smooth vocals, sets her apart from her peers.

Lisa’s triumph at the VMAs also symbolizes the continued rise of K-pop on the international stage. The Best K-pop category, introduced in recent years, acknowledges the global impact of Korean pop music and its artists. With BLACKPINK and Lisa leading the charge, K-pop’s influence only continues to grow, captivating audiences far beyond its origins in South Korea.

This award win not only celebrates Lisa’s talent but also underscores her status as a trailblazer for K-pop artists aiming to break into the Western music market.
