As the post regarding MTV Video Music Awards' recent nominees for the Best Group category circulated on social media, the K-pop community was excited to see the four K-pop groups, including TOMORROW X TOGETHER, NCT DREAM, NewJeans, and SEVENTEEN, being nominated in the list.
MOAs (TXT fandom) noted that TXT was the finalist in the VMA's Group of the Year and Song of the Summer categories in 2023. However, TXT could not emerge as a winner in the mentioned list.

Meanwhile, NCT DREAM and NewJeans' fandom DREAMZEN and Bunnies also showcased their support for the bands on social media by asking the fans to create more Instagram accounts to make them the winner of Best Group at the MTV Video Music Awards 2024.
