The Mnet Asian Music Award for Best Music Video (Korean: 뮤직비디오 작품상; RR: Myujigbidio jagpumsang) is an award presented annually by CJ E&M (Mnet) at the Mnet Asian Music Awards. The event was launched in 1999 as the Mnet Video Music Awards[1][2] and was primarily a music video-centered awards ceremony, modeled after the MTV Video Music Awards.[3] From its inaugural ceremony up until the 2005 awards, the category was officially titled Music Video of the Year and consisted of one of the two daesang (or most prestigious) prizes, alongside the Most Popular Music Video category.[4] In 2006, the event underwent an overhaul; the daesang status of the category was removed, and it was retitled as "Best Music Video". Meanwhile, the Most Popular Music Video category was discontinued.[5]

In 1999, the inaugural Mnet Asian Music Award for Best Music Video was presented to Lee Seung-hwan for the video "A Request". In 2005, the video for "Isolated Ones! Left Foot Forward!" by Drunken Tiger was the final recipient of the Music Video of the Year daesang before its rebranding the following year. Since then, five artists have received the accolade more than once; among them, BTS holds the distinction for the most wins in the category, winning for five consecutive years between 2017 and 2021. BTS, in addition, has received the most nominations in the category with six.

## Winners and nominees

### Music Video of the Year (daesang)

[edit]

From 1999–2005, the category was titled "Music Video of the Year" and was one of the ceremony's two daesang prizes. The event went through several name changes during this time period: "Mnet Video Music Awards" (1999), "Mnet Music Video Festival" (2000–2003), and "Mnet KM Music Video Festival" (2004–2005).[6] No list of nominees was made available for the former daesang during the course of its existence.
