Did Aespa really not get any VMA nomination when even Seventeen did?

Isn’t Aespa one of the biggest groups right now? How come they didn’t get any nomination, are they really that irrelevant in the West? This is very odd

Is Aespa relevant in the West?

lsm's budget didn't go there this comeback I guess

If you search for "mtv fresh out" on youtube you'll see why it was just those groups.

so despite "Hybe's mediaplay not working", BTS and 17 still in the list because they're relevant. SM pushed and mediaplayed, but what happened? Nothing.

Normally I'd type something sarcastic, but c'mon. It's VMAs. It's not worth getting butthurt about such a sily award show.

The vmas are a very big award though, it is iconic because it born a lot of the biggest moments of pop culture. Britney and Xtina kiss while JT was in the audience, Miley grinding on Robin Thicke, Gaga paparazzi, Fifth harmony dropping Camila of the stage, etc. Just say you don't have any pop culture knowledge

agree. but to not be nominated even on a sily award show like the vmas must feel awful.

that’s the thing. I didn’t mean they have to win this silly award but there are 6 whole nomination entries, surely aespa should be 1 of the 6 biggest groups in kpop right now? It just doesn’t make sense they didn’t even get a nom

no

Who cares about vma ?

Kpop fans: SM doesn't know what appeal to western audience, that's why their promotions there are not as successful as other groups. There is no demand for aespa, NCT, Superm, etc.

Also kpop fans: Omg lol they are not nominated in this [insert award name]

yes, Aespa doesn't care. Hmph!

not people here exposing themselves with the "every nomination is legit unless it is someone from SM then it must be rigged" narrative

one would think SM idols have collectively killed your pets in a previous life time

stop dragging seventeen wtf

VMA’s are based on who’s big in USA So even txt would make more sense than aespa
