2024 is the year that keeps on giving for the nation’s girl group, and they once again made history by becoming the first Filipino to win the Best Asian Act award at the MTV EMAs. With a month and a half left in 2024, maybe Bini has one more record-breaking moment left in the tank.

Rita Ora pays tribute to Liam Payne

Almost a month since Liam Payne’s untimely death, the wounds may still be fresh for some of us, including that of Rita Ora, the 2024 MTV EMAs host and friend of the former One Direction member. 

“Liam Payne was one of the kindest people that I know. He had the biggest heart and was always the first person to offer help in any way that he could. He brought so much joy to every room he walked into, and he left such a mark on this world. So, let’s take a moment to remember our friend, Liam,” said Ora as she struggled to hold back tears during her speech.

Jimin and Lisa win big

Despite being away on military service, BTS’ Jimin took home the Best K-Pop award for his recent album “Muse” which featured “Who,” which is close to approaching a billion streams on Spotify as of writing. Blackpink’s Lisa, on the other hand, took home the Best Collaboration award for “New Woman” featuring Rosalía as well as the Biggest Fans honors.

K-pop’s 2024 MTV EMAs award haul did not end with BTS and Blackpink as Le Sserafim also bagged the Best Push award, beating out fellow nominees Chappell Roan and Laufey. But besides taking home a massive award, Le Sserafim was truly the night’s winner, thanks to an electrifying onstage performance and their wholesome interactions on the red carpet

Taylor Swift dominates

It was business as usual for Taylor Swift as she took home the most prizes for the night, winning the Best Video (for “Fortnight” with Post Malone), Best Artist, Best Live, and Best US Act awards.
