While fans of these groups have been overjoyed to see their favorite stars nominated, others have not taken the list so kindly. Many fans, in fact, are in shock over the glaring absence of aespa.

This year, aespa released two major hits, “Supernova” and “Armageddon,” both of which went viral for their impressive music videos.

“Armageddon,” in particular, stood out with its high-budget production and garnered substantial attention.

Despite their success, neither song was nominated, leading to widespread disappointment among fans.

The exclusion of aespa has led to various speculations, with some fans accusing SM Entertainment of not submitting aespa’s songs for consideration. Instead, they believe the company chose to prioritize NCT Dream’s “Smoothie.”

Such accusations have sparked heated debates and intense fan wars online, with MYs expressing their frustration and disappointment.

As the event approaches, discussions and debates about the nominations are expected to intensify. Meanwhile, the 2024 VMAs — which will be held on September 10 — promise to be an exciting and potentially contentious event full of surprises.
