BLACKPINK's Rosé Makes History with First K-Pop Win for Song of the Year at 2025 MTV VMAs

BLACKPINK member Rosé has achieved a monumental feat, becoming the first K-pop artist to win Song of the Year at the prestigious 2025 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs).

The electrifying ceremony, held on the evening of September 7th (local time) at the UBS Arena in New York, saw Rosé clinch the coveted award for her track 'ATP.', released in October of last year. This historic win marks the first time a K-pop artist has received the Song of the Year award at the VMAs, significantly elevating the global standing of K-pop.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Rosé expressed her disbelief during her acceptance speech, stating, "I can't believe it. I'm truly grateful to Bruno Mars, who believed in me and helped me the most." She continued, "I happily accept this award as a moment that rewards all my hard work. Teddy oppa, I won the award. BLACKPINK members, I won the award. Thank you and I love you always," she added, touching the hearts of many.

Beyond her historic Song of the Year win, Rosé was a dominant force at the awards, securing nominations in a remarkable eight categories. This included nods for Video of the Year, Best Collaboration, Best Pop, Best Direction, Best Art Direction, Best Visual Effects, and Best K-pop for her debut solo album's title track 'Toxic Till The End,' setting a new record for the most VMA nominations by a K-pop artist.

Rosé is a core member of the global phenomenon BLACKPINK, serving as the group's main vocalist and lead dancer. She launched her successful solo career in 2021 with the single album 'R.' Her distinctive blonde hair and unique vocal tone have garnered immense popularity worldwide.
