A second win came in 2012, when sound engineer <strong>Hwang Byung Joon<\/strong> earned a Grammy for Best Classical Engineered Recording. Then, he received the honor again in 2016 for Best Choral Performance. After these wins, the K-pop crossover had finally hit the globe, and<strong> BTS<\/strong> picked up nominations for Best Pop Duo or Group Performance in 2021, 2022, and 2023, but the boy group hasn\u2019t won any awards yet. Despite the trophy still feeling out of reach, the signal of South Korean music was loud, and K-pop has clearly had a standout year with massive releases that have captured the general public\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n<p>That is why the nominations revealed on November 8\u00a0 feel different: <strong>BLACKPINK\u2019s Ros\u00e9<\/strong> earned nods for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Duo or Group Performance thanks to the viral hit \u201cAPT\u201d with Bruno Mars. Similarly, \u201cGolden\u201d from the <strong>KPop Demon Hunters<\/strong> soundtrack is up for Song of the Year, plus Best Pop Duo or Group Performance, Best Remixed Recording, and Best Song Written for Visual Media, with the soundtrack in Best Compilation Soundtrack.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n        <blockquote hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SonyAnimation\/status\/1986910383630868857?s=20\" class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Up, up, UP with our voices because KPop Demon Hunters is 5x Grammy-nominated!!!!! \ud83d\udde3\ufe0f\ud83d\udd0a <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Q6hAZgStGP\">pic.twitter.com\/Q6hAZgStGP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Sony Pictures Animation (@SonyAnimation) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SonyAnimation\/status\/1986910383630868857?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">November 7, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n        <\/figure>\n        \n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Adding the cherry on top, K-pop-adjacent girl group, <strong>KATSEYE<\/strong>, was nominated for Best New Artist and competes in Best Pop Duo or Group Performance with Gabriela.
