The South Korean group TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT), has been nominated in two categories at the US music awards show 'MTV Video Music Awards' (MTV VMA).

The organizers of the '2023 MTV Video Music Awards' announced the nominated categories and contenders on their official website on the 8th of the month (local time).

TXT has been nominated in two categories for their title track "Sugar Rush Ride" from their fifth mini-album 'The Name Chapter: Temptation' released in January this year. The categories they are nominated for are 'Best K-Pop' and 'Push Performance of the Year'.

'Push Performance of the Year' is a category where artists who have been featured in the 'MTV PUSH' campaign compete. MTV selects one artist each month and highlights them based on their interviews and performances.

TXT was previously selected as the artist of the month in April. They will be competing against 12 other musicians including American singer-songwriter JVKE, British singer Sam Ryder, and American rapper Ice Spice.

This marks the third time TXT has been nominated in the 'Best K-Pop' category. Their first nomination was in July 2019, just four months after their debut, for the song "Cat & Dog" from the album 'The Dream Chapter: Star'.

The '2023 MTV VMA' will take place on the 12th of next month at the Prudential Center in New Jersey, USA, and will be broadcasted through MTV.

Meanwhile, TXT will be kicking off their second world tour 'ACT: SWEET MIRAGE' with a performance in Jakarta, Indonesia on the 9th and in Bulacan, Philippines on the 13th.
