On the 8th, the Recording Academy of the United States, which hosts the 'Grammys', announced the list of nominees for the '67th Grammy Awards'. This year, BTS RM, J-Hope, V Jungkook, BLACKPINK Lisa, and TWICE challenged, but not a single K-pop singer was included in the candidate list.
The Associated Press pointed out racism, saying that Latin music was missing from the nomination, and K-pop was the same.
However, Recording Academy President Harvey Mason Jr. "There is certainly room for improvement in many genres. We continue to invite people (of various races) to participate in the academy."
BTS is the only K-pop singer who has been nominated for the Grammy Awards. BTS was nominated for the third consecutive year from 2020 to 2022 in the 'Best Pop Duo Group Performance' category. In particular, in 2022, it was also nominated for the category 'Best Music Video' and the main award 'Album of the Year', proving that it is 'Worldstar'.
First launched in 1959, the Grammy Awards are the most prestigious pop music awards in the United States. However, it was criticized for the closed and biased screening results, which led to sarcastic criticism of 'white Grammys' every year.
The 67th annual Grammy Awards will be held in Los Angeles on February 2 next year.
Beyoncé received 11 nominations for the ceremony, including three General Fields (main awards), including 'Record of the Year''Song of the Year'Album of the Year'. Beyonce is the first female artist to be nominated for 11 categories. Taylor Swift became the seventh female singer to be nominated for the category of the `Album of the Year' with `The Todd Poets Department"
