Le Sserafim made history by becoming the first K-pop girl group to win Best Push, an award given to the artist who showed the best performance among those who appeared on MTV’s artist introduction program “MTV Push Campaign” over the past year.
“Just performing in the UK for the first time was incredible, but we never imagined winning an award. We’re deeply grateful to all the fans who have supported our journey. This award was only possible because of everyone who has always shown their support. We dedicate this honor to our fans,” said Le Sserafim in a statement after the awards.
The group nabbed the same trophy at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards in September.
Le Sserafim took to the stage at this year's ceremony, voguing to its fourth mini album’s track “Chasing Lightning” accompanied by a mega-crew of 20 dancers.
The group also performed “Crazy,” making a 360-degree use of the stage.
The star of this year’s ceremony was Taylor Swift, who swept four major awards-- Best Video, Best Artist, Best Live and Best US Act.
American pop star Sabrina Carpenter took home the award for Best Song with her hit track “Espresso.”
British synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys received the Pop Pioneer award in recognition of their 40-year career. They also performed alongside the Manchester Camerata orchestra at the event.
