Lisa Leads K-pop’s 2026 MTV VMAs Nominations
· Updated
K-pop will be represented by several artists at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday. BLACKPINK’s Lisa is set to debut a new song onstage, while BTS will compete for one of the ceremony’s major honors. Rookie act Cortis will also look to build on its early momentum.
Lisa leads K-pop artists with four nominations. Among them are nods in the best pop and best K-pop categories for “Dream,” a song from her first solo album, “Alter Ego.” Her nominations make her one of the ceremony’s key K-pop figures.
The awards show will therefore offer several points of interest for fans of Korean pop music, including Lisa’s new performance, BTS’s bid for a major honor and Cortis’s appearance in the ceremony’s wider K-pop conversation. The source does not provide further details about the new song or BTS’s specific nomination.
