Only groups active between july 2021 & June 2022 could get nominated for group of the year. Yet, blackpink who weren't, got a nom.
Between VMAs past of giving awards on attendance rather than numbers, bp being invited, bp getting sus nominations (while acts like Coldplay & Glass Animals didn't get one despite their amazing year),... it's clear what's gonna happen. Not that blinks will care for the validity of bps wins.
