The MTV Europe Music Award for Best K-Pop is an award category at the MTV Europe Music Awards that was first presented in 2021. It is one of the current Asian categories of the ceremony along with Best Asian Act and the former category Best Korean Act, though it is the first to reward artist(s) of K-pop music as a musical genre, and not as a nationality. Lisa is the most nominated artist in this category, with three nominations.
