BLACKPINK, the biggest K-pop girl group, showed off their impressive acclaim by bagging four nominations with their recent title track Pink Venom at the VMAs 2023. On August 8, the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) released its much-awaited list of nominees, sending the BLINK fandom into an uproar.
From choreography and art direction to the Best K-pop category, the quartet became the most nominated K-pop artist at this year’s VMAs.

However, the BLINK fandom went into celebratory mode after the VMAs 2023 nominations list was released, as they couldn’t hide their excitement and pride for the Pink Venom singers.

At the VMAs 2023, BLACKPINK finally broke the chain of only being nominated for two categories. The nominations did not only restrict themselves to the singers and the song but the cinematography and even art direction. Pink Venom, the group’s latest title track from the much-awaited comeback album BORN PINK, led the quartet to the impressive feat.
BLACKPINK’s Pink Venom bagged four nominations in the following categories at the VMAs 2023:
- Best K-pop
- Best Choreography (Kiel Tutin, Sienna Lalau, Lee Jung, and Taryn Cheng of YGX)
- Best Art Direction (Seo Hyun-seung of GIGANT)
- Best Editing (Seo Hyun-seung of GIGANT)
The quartet’s fandom, BLINKs, celebrated this achievement by gushing over the group and the song on Twitter. Fans mentioned how Pink Venom had the VMAs producers and judges amazed in a way that led to not one but four different nominations.
Many also mentioned how they were looking forward to the quintet performing the song live at the festival. No official performers or attendees list for the VMAs 2023 has yet been revealed.
Fans also spread the video of Taylor Swift reacting to BLACKPINK’s Pink Venom at the VMAs 2022. They shared that they might be able to see another iconic interaction between the two if the artists were roped in to attend the event.
