music awards<\/a> show is beyond some of their wildest dreams!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nSo what does this mean for other award shows? Sadly, there\u2019s an on-going debate about whether K-pop is actually a category of music. On one hand, people claim that K-pop is definitely a category of music. But on the other hand, people are claiming that K-pop is just pop music with Korean lyrics. It\u2019s unknown how long this debate will last, especially since the two opinions could have endless debate points. But, it\u2019s still possible and likely that other Western music award shows will create a category exclusively for K-pop. Let\u2019s not give up hope! For now, let\u2019s enjoy what we have for Best K-Pop at the 2021 VMAs!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
