in a couple of years, kpop will be winning that asian category at grammys and kpoppies will still look you in the eyes and will say bts did not pave the way. honey, it’s bc of BTS that category exists and why your nugu faves won one. the history cannot be rewritten.
BTS are the reason K-pop groups started getting nominated at the BBMAs, VMAs, AMAs, PCAs, EMAs, and now probably the Grammys. They made it look so easy for them.
> beyonce ganha pelo cowboy carter
> grammy cria uma categoria separando o country "tradicional" do country "contemporâeno"
> bad bunny ganha
> grammy cria categoria "melhor musica latina"
> bts comeback
> grammy ja cria uma categoria pra artista asiático
só não vê quem não quer
award shows that added a kpop category:
VMAs (since 2019)
EMAs (since 2021)
AMAs (since 2022)
BBMAs (since 2023)
iHeartRadio Awards (since 2024)
Grammys (new)
look at when all of this started happening...but sure, kpop twt will tell you bts did nothing for the asian market lol
and if yall stay streaming come over like we did yesterday that #1 is still very much possible considering the drops that are about to happen to other songs 🤫
