They’re all amazing, but only one group can win!

It’s finally that time of the year again! On August 11, the MTV Video Music Awards revealed their 2021 nominees, and fans all around the world are excited to see who will take home the “Best K-Pop” trophy this year!

The competition will be extremely fierce, as every artist has their own unique charms in addition to high Billboard chart placements. Another interesting thing to note is that the list is evenly split between boy groups and girl groups.
