LISA wins Best Pop for 'Dream' at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards

BLACKPINK member LISA has embraced the Best Pop trophy as the first Asian solo singer at the American popular music awards ceremony, the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards.

LISA was honored with the Best Pop award for her single 'Dream' at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards held at the Peacock Theater in LA, USA, on the 27th of last month (local time).

This is the second time an Asian artist has received the Best Pop trophy at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards, following the group BTS in 2020. As a solo singer and an Asian female artist, it is a historic first.

On the award stage, LISA said, "Thank you for giving me such a wonderful award. The dreams I held late every night have brought me to this place today. I wouldn't be able to stand here without you. Thank you so much for your love and support."

On the 5th, LISA posted several photos on her SNS along with the message, "Thank you VMAS. I also thank my fans for making my dreams come true." The photos include her walking the red carpet, holding the trophy, and performing with dancers.

Started in 1984, the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards is considered one of the four major awards ceremonies in the American popular music industry, alongside the Grammy Awards, American Music Awards, and Billboard Music Awards. After establishing her independent label LLOUD, LISA has released 'ROCKSTAR' and 'NEW WOMAN' in succession and is expanding her field of activity by appearing in season 3 of the HBO original series 'The White Lotus'.
