The awards show was held on June 23rd at the Convention Center Makuharimessae in Chiba, Japan. Girls Generation won the Best Album Award, 2PM took home the Best Group Video Award, and 2NE1 was awarded the Best New Artist Video Award.
The MTV VMAJ picks the most popular artists in 16 different categories over the past year. The prior mentioned three categories are some of the most coveted honors.
2PM for example were up against the likes of Coldplay, Ikimono Gakari, Maroon 5, and Monkey Magic in the Best Group Video category.
As for 2NE1, though the group are far from newbie status in Korea, they only officially debuted this past year in Japan. They battled out big acts like LMFAO and James Blake for their win.
2PM and 2NE1 also performed on stage for this year's ceremony. As for Girls Generation, due to their hectic schedules, they weren't able to attend the show.
