“We hope music can be heard and loved for what it is, rather than being divided by region or language.”
The announcement comes after the Recording Academy changed the game for K-pop acts and introduced a new “Best Asian Pop Music Performance” category for the upcoming ceremony. BTS have previously received five Grammy nominations, including three consecutive nods for “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.”
