BLACKPINK Rosé in a 2024 Interview:
"I sincerely hope that the label ‘K-pop’ will not become a factor of division for music. It is a very powerful word and it is good in that sense, but I hope it will not turn into a discriminating factor for music.”
The Grammys have announced a "Best Asian Pop Music Performance" Award.
BLACKPINK’s “Pink Venom” has officially entered Spotify’s Billions Club.
— The song was one of the latest tracks to exceed 1 BILLION streams on the platform in May 2026.
that fandom celebrating 'paved the way' as if it's such an achievement, y'all need to understand how these american award shows tryna stop asian acts to enter the mainstream categories right infront of our eyes. this is discrimination. this is racist.
Major award shows which introduced K-pop/Asian related categories:
• GRAMMYs (2027)
• iHeartRadio Music Awards (2024)
• Billboard Music Awards (2023)
• American Music Awards (2022)
• EMAs (2021)
• VMAs (2019)
literally what rosé was talking about. they keep creating these separate categories that end up boxing asian artists into specific lanes instead of allowing them to compete on equal footing. this just creates more room for discrimination while pretending it's inclusion
the grammys introduced the "best asian pop music" and "best latin song" categories right after rosé and bad bunny got nominated on both 'song of the year' and 'record of the year' categories pls they couldn't be more obvious 😭
The GRAMMYs are introducing their first Asian category at next year’s ceremony.
Best Asian Pop Music Performance will recognise K-Pop, J-Pop, C-Pop recordings that feature meaningful use of one or more Asian languages.
