SEOUL, Sept. 28 (Yonhap) -- K-pop supergroup BTS won three awards, including Song of the Year, while BLACKPINK's Lisa became the first Asian solo artist to win Best Pop at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards.

BTS took home Song of the Year and Best K-pop for "Swim," the lead track from its fifth studio album "Arirang," as well as Best Group at the ceremony held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday (U.S. time).

The South Korean band claimed Song of the Year over a strong field of nominees that included "Golden" from the original soundtrack of Netflix's hit animated film "KPop Demon Hunters," Madonna and Sabrina Carpenter's "Bring Your Love," and Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas."

BTS won every category in which it was nominated but did not attend the ceremony due to scheduling conflicts.

In a statement released through its agency after the ceremony, the group said the win was especially meaningful because "Arirang" represented "a new beginning" for it.

"We believe we were able to receive the major honor of Song of the Year for 'Swim' thanks to everyone who has loved our music," the group said. "The seven of us will continue to bring you great music and performances."

BTS also thanked its fandom, known as ARMY, for its unwavering love and support.

This marks the group's first Song of the Year win, considered the show's top honor. Last year, BLACKPINK's Rose became the first K-pop artist to win the award for "APT.," her collaboration single with global pop star Bruno Mars.

With its Best Group victory, BTS extended its own record for the most wins in the category with five overall, following four consecutive victories from 2019 to 2022.

It also marked the group's fourth Best K-pop win after three consecutive victories from 2019 to 2021.

Lisa took home the Best Pop award for "Dream," beating global stars, including Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift. The song features Japanese actor Kentaro Sakaguchi.

BTS won Best Pop in 2020, but Lisa is the first Asian and K-pop solo artist to receive the honor.

"First of all, thank you, MTV, for this amazing award," she said, fighting back tears as she held the trophy onstage. "All those late-night dreams brought me here today. To my Lilies, I wouldn't be here without you guys. Thank you so much for your love and support," she added, using the name of her fandom.

The victory marked the fourth VMA trophy for Lisa, who previously won three Best K-pop awards as a solo artist in 2022, 2024 and 2025, respectively.

During the ceremony, Lisa also showcased a powerful performance of her new song "SaWaDiKa."

BLACKPINK's Jennie, boy group Cortis and girl group Katseye were also among the K-pop acts nominated at this year's VMAs but came home empty-handed.

This year's Video of the Year and Artist of the Year awards went to Taylor Swift for "The Fate of Ophelia" and Madonna, respectively.

Madonna was the night's biggest winner, taking home seven awards in total, including Best Dance, Best Collaboration, Best Cinematography and Best Album.

首尔，9月28日（韩联社）——韩国流行音乐超级组合防弹少年团（BTS）在2026年MTV音乐录影带大奖上斩获三项大奖，其中包括年度歌曲奖，而BLACKPINK成员Lisa成为首位获得最佳流行歌曲奖的亚洲独唱歌手。

BTS凭借第五张录音室专辑《阿里郎》的主打歌《Swim》获得了年度歌曲奖和最佳K-pop奖，并在周日（美国时间）于洛杉矶孔雀剧院举行的颁奖典礼上获得了最佳组合奖。

韩国乐队从众多实力强劲的提名者中脱颖而出，荣获年度歌曲奖。其他提名者包括 Netflix 热播动画电影《K-Pop Demon Hunters》原声带中的歌曲《Golden》、麦当娜和萨布丽娜·卡彭特的《Bring Your Love》以及艾拉·兰利的《Choosin' Texas》。

BTS 赢得了所有提名奖项，但由于日程冲突未能出席颁奖典礼。

颁奖典礼结束后，该组合通过其经纪公司发表声明称，此次获奖意义非凡，因为《阿里郎》代表着他们“新的开始”。

“我们相信，《Swim》能够获得年度歌曲大奖，要感谢所有喜爱我们音乐的人，”该组合表示。“我们七个人将继续为大家带来精彩的音乐和表演。”

BTS 也感谢了他们的粉丝 ARMY，感谢他们始终如一的爱与支持。

这是该组合首次获得年度歌曲奖，该奖项被认为是颁奖典礼的最高荣誉。去年，BLACKPINK 的 Rose 凭借与国际流行巨星 Bruno Mars 合作的单曲《APT.》成为首位获得该奖项的韩国流行音乐艺人。

凭借最佳组合奖，BTS 将该奖项的获奖次数纪录扩大到五次，此前他们曾从 2019 年到 2022 年连续四次获奖。

这也是该组合继 2019 年至 2021 年连续三次获得最佳 K-pop 奖之后，第四次获得该奖项。

Lisa凭借歌曲《Dream》荣获最佳流行歌曲奖，击败了包括Ariana Grande和Taylor Swift在内的众多国际巨星。这首歌由日本演员坂口健太郎参与演唱。

BTS 获得了 2020 年最佳流行音乐奖，但 Lisa 是第一位获得此殊荣的亚洲和韩国流行音乐独唱歌手。

“首先，感谢MTV颁发给我这个了不起的奖项，”她手捧奖杯站在台上，强忍着泪水说道，“所有那些深夜的梦想才让我今天站在这里。我的粉丝们，没有你们就没有今天的我。非常感谢你们的爱与支持，”她补充道，这里她用的是粉丝团的名字。

这次胜利标志着 Lisa 获得了第四座 VMA 奖杯，她此前曾分别在 2022 年、2024 年和 2025 年以个人艺人身份三次获得最佳 K-pop 奖。

在颁奖典礼上，丽莎还精彩演绎了她的新歌《SaWaDiKa》。

BLACKPINK 的 Jennie、男子组合 Cortis 和女子组合 Katseye 也入围了今年 VMA 的 K-pop 艺人提名，但最终空手而归。

今年的年度最佳音乐录影带奖和年度最佳艺人奖分别颁给了泰勒·斯威夫特的《奥菲莉亚的命运》和麦当娜。

麦当娜是当晚最大的赢家，共获得七项大奖，包括最佳舞蹈、最佳合作、最佳摄影和最佳专辑。
