Lalisa Manobal, popularly known as Lisa, achieved a historic milestone by winning her second Best K-Pop award at the 2024 MTV VMAs, becoming the first solo artist to win the award twice.
On Wednesday, September 11, at the UBS Arena in New York, the BLACKPINK star was honored for her comeback song, “Rockstar.”
In her acceptance speech, Lisa expressed her gratitude, saying, “Rockstar was a meaningful comeback for me after ‘LALISA.’ This is very, very special.” She also gave a shoutout to her fans, BLINKs, and Lillies worldwide.
Lisa, the founder of LLOUD, thanked her newly formed agency and RCA Records for their role in her achievement.
The 27-year-old Thai-Korean rapper and singer made history with the latest Moonman statuette, becoming the first soloist to win Best K-Pop twice in the VMAs’ history.
Notably, she is the first and only solo artist ever to win in this category. Lisa previously won the award in 2022 for her solo song “LALISA.”
Alongside her win, Lisa delivered a medley performance of her recent hit tracks, “Rockstar” and “New Women,” her collaboration with Spanish singer Rosalia.
