2022 VMAs: Fans manifest Blackpink's win as they become the FIRST female K-pop performers

Blackpink is not only the first K-pop girl group but the fifth in general to perform at the MTV Video Music Awards

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA: Aside from the regular excitement around Blackpink's highly anticipated comeback with the pre-release single 'Pink Venom', fans of the girl group are really busy as they vote for Blackpink who is nominated for various titles at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards. It has been years since Blackpink attended a music show or an award ceremony so fans had very little hopes about the girl group attending the 2022 VMAs.

Looks like the upcoming Blackpink comeback has been timed perfectly in order to allow the girl group to promote their new single 'Pink Venom' internationally. On August 16, it was announced that Blackpink will attend the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards that will be held on August 28 at the Prudential Center in New Jersey, USA. This marks the girl group's first performance at an award show after their performance at the 2018 SBS Gayo Dejun.

Blackpink set to perform at the 2022 Video Music Awards

Blackpink is the first K-pop girl group to ever perform at the Video Music Awards. Not only that, but Blackpink is the fifth girl group after TLC, Spice Girls, The Pussy Cat Dolls, and Fifth Harmony to perform at the MTV Award show. Blackpink is all set to release their first comeback single in two years following their 2020 album, 'The Album'. Blackpink will be releasing 'Pink Venom' on August 19 which they will perform days later at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Since Blackpink's Lisa is also the only K-pop soloist to be nominated in the 'Best K-pop' category, fans anticipate the girl group to perform Lisa's hit single, 'Lalisa' at the show. Blackpink's recent performance for the video game PUBG titled 'The Virual' is also nominated in the 'Best Metaverse Performance'. Blackpink last won the 'Best Summer Song' for their 2020 release, 'How You Like That' at the 2020 VMAs.

'It's sure we're going to win'

Now, after the announcement that Blackpink will be performing at the show, fans are anticipating that the girl group will be winning one of the two awards they are nominated for at the 2022 Video Music Awards.
