The American award show circuit has historically served as a wasteland for K-pop artists... but all that changed last year when BTS, one of South Korean's most sensational, record-busting music acts, won at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards, ushering in a new age of representation for global music in the West.

As the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards approach in the middle of a year bursting with exciting, well-choreographed and creative music videos from some of K-pop's most thrilling artists and groups, we can't help but wonder: Who deserves to be nominated at the MTV VMAs this August?

Between BTS' sleek "Fake Love" to Blackpink's colorful "DDU-DU DDU-DU" and GOT7's energetic "Look," there has certainly been no shortage of excellent Moonman-deserving videos from the world of K-pop in 2018. But who do you think earned a surefire nom?

Below, place your vote for which act(s) deserve to be nominated at the 2018 MTV VMAs! This poll closes Tuesday, July 31 at noon.
