Lisa has further cemented her place in VMA history. The BLACKPINK star is now the most-awarded K-pop soloist in the history of the ceremony. She first won a VMA in 2022 for LALISA in the Best K-pop category and later made history in 2024 as the first and only K-pop artist to take the VMAs stage for a solo performance. This year, her track “Dream,” featuring Kentaro Sakaguchi, added another Moon Person to her collection after winning Best Pop.
