According to the group's management agency YG Entertainment on Tuesday, the quartet is preparing a special performance at the annual awards show scheduled to be held on August 28.

It will be the first time for a K-pop girl group to perform at the event, and only the fourth time a girl group of any genre or nationality will perform after TLC, the Spice Girls, and Fifth Harmony.
