Other groups included in the same category were Blackpink, City Girls, Foo Fighters, Imagine Dragons, Maneskin, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Silk Sonic. BTS received nominated for best K-pop, best choreography, best metaverse performance, and best visual effects. According to the source, Jungkook won a separate nomination for song of the summer for his participation to “Left and Right,” a song he composed with American singer-songwriter Charlie Puth.

Blackpink was nominated for best metaverse performance as well as group of the year. The last time an artist won a trophy from a music competition in the United States was in 2020, when the K-pop girl group’s hit “How You Like That” made history as the first K-pop girl group to accomplish so.
