But the K-pop star girls’ song “Black Venom” won the Group of the Year award.

Elle said that no one knew where the members of BLACKPINK were during the 2023 VMAs, but that Rosé had been seen in New York before the event.

Fans of the K-pop group thought that the girls must have a busy schedule because reports say that BLACKPINK is getting ready to perform in Seoul at the sold-out end of their Born Pink World Tour.

This was the best year for the Korean girl group. In April, they were the first K-pop band to be the main act at Coachella.
