Rosé, a member of the internationally acclaimed K-pop girl group BLACKPINK, has achieved a remarkable milestone by securing eight nominations at this year's MTV Video Music Awards, one of the most prestigious music award ceremonies in the United States. The announcement marks a significant achievement for the Korean artist in the American music industry.
According to the official list of nominees released on MTV's website on Tuesday, Rosé has been nominated across multiple major categories. Her nominations include the highly coveted Video of the Year award, as well as Song of the Year, Best Collaboration, Best Pop, Best Direction, Best Art Direction, and Best Visual Effects. These nominations demonstrate the widespread recognition of her artistic work and production quality in the American music market.
In addition to these major category nominations, Rosé also received a nomination in the Best K-pop category for her song "toxic till the end." This particular nomination highlights her individual artistry within the specialized K-pop recognition segment of the awards.
The success extends beyond just Rosé, as all four members of BLACKPINK have been recognized for their solo endeavors. Her three bandmates have also earned nominations in the Best K-pop category for their individual projects: Jennie received a nomination for her track "like JENNIE," Jisoo was recognized for her song "earthquake," and Lisa earned a nomination for "Born Again." This collective recognition underscores BLACKPINK's influence and success as individual artists beyond their group activities.
The Best K-pop category features strong competition from other prominent Korean artists. Among the other nominees are Jimin, a member of the globally successful boy band BTS, who received a nomination for his song "Who." The popular girl group aespa was also nominated for their hit track "Whiplash," while the rising boy band Stray Kids earned recognition for their energetic song "Chk Chk Boom." This diverse lineup showcases the growing international recognition and competitiveness of K-pop music.
The 2025 MTV Video Music Awards ceremony is scheduled to take place on September 8th at the UBS Arena in New York. The venue choice reflects the continued importance of the New York metropolitan area as a hub for major American entertainment events. The ceremony will bring together artists, industry professionals, and fans to celebrate the year's most outstanding achievements in music video production and artistry.
This recognition for Rosé and her BLACKPINK members represents the continued global expansion and acceptance of K-pop music in mainstream American entertainment. The multiple nominations across various categories indicate that K-pop artists are not only being recognized in specialized categories but are also competing directly with international artists in major award segments.
