BTS has been nominated in major categories at the MTV Video Music Awards, one of the four major American popular music awards shows.

The group has earned nominations in two categories—Song of the Year and Best K-Pop—with their song "Swim," released in March, competing for the wins.

In the grand prize category, Song of the Year, they will compete against "Golden," an OST from the film "K-Pop: Demon Hunters," and "Bring Your Love" by Madonna and Sabrina Carpenter, among others.

Several K-Pop artists, including BLACKPINK, have been selected as nominees for this year's awards.

In particular, BLACKPINK member Lisa has received the highest number of nominations among K-Pop artists.
