Beloved music artists Blackpink’s Lisa, Seventeen and Le Seraphim carried the K-pop flag high at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards held at the UBS Arena in New York on September 11.
The Thai rapper’s stunning appearance initially offered a stunning red-carpet moment, as the Blackpink member redefined her fashionista status in a custom Mugler nude-toned hooded gown. Lalisa Manobal played a favorite role as a Bulgari ambassador by accessorizing her look with a gold Serpenti necklace.
The K-pop ‘rockstar’ won his historic second Best K-Pop Moon Person title at the VMAs with other hits such as Jungkook’s “Seven”, NCT Dream’s “Smoothie”, “Lalalala” from “Stray Kids”, Newsens’ “Super Shy” and Tomorrow X Together’s “Deja Vu”.
