On the 10th local time, the artists, albums and songs competing for the trophy at the 66th annual GRAMMY awards ceremony were announced. This year, many Kpop groups and artists have submitted nominations for this prestigious award and of course, making the public expect a successful year for Kpop in the US.
However, contrary to fans' expectations, when GRAMMY announced the nominations, no Kpop group or artist was on the list. After years of BTS being nominated consecutively at this award, no other Kpop group has been able to continue writing their history and hope.
Netizens seem to express their regret and look forward to BTS's reunion in 2025 when they can continue writing their unfinished history as the "King of K-pop":
The Grammy Awards are an award given by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States for outstanding achievements in the recording industry. The Grammy Awards are considered the most prestigious awards in the music field, perhaps because of the extremely strict appraisal of this award's jury. Almost all artists in the world wish to at least once touch this top award.
The same is true for Kpop artists because even one nomination at this awards ceremony shows their international influence. In particular, this was tested by BTS when the group was the first representative of Kpop to receive a Grammy nomination for three consecutive years (2021 - 2023). Now, other Kpop groups also want to expand their worldwide influence. This year, there are many Kpop idols registered at these important music award ceremonies.
Therefore, this year's GRAMMY nomination announcement ceremony received a lot of attention and expectations from Kpop fans. But right after that, fans were also disappointed by the results of the nominations. There are no Kpop groups or Kpop idols on the list. That also means a year of nothing for Kpop at this awards ceremony.
It is worth mentioning that this year is also the year that BTS cannot have group activities and it shows a warning sign of the decline in Kpop activities globally. Not only that, many people also think that BTS is the first and last K-pop group to get a GRAMMY nominations multiple times. That's also the reason why fans hope that when BTS reunites in 2025, they can lead the way for Kpop to enter the GRAMMYs again:
- The numbers of kgroups submitted their songs and albums this year
- AND NEXT TIME WILL BE IN 2025 WHEN THEY RELEASE ANOTHER SMASH ALBUM
- They were acting so confident and brave they even said they will be the first act to be nominated and win a granny
- Well...a win is a win
- Nit somєthing to be proud of tbh ...bts is bigger than that rac1st show
- Bang pd has been screaming all year test kpop is making no noise & there os no kpop wave outside of BTS … its not taken seriously When BTS comes back they will still be the only ones standing
- no one can't change that, if yes it'll for 2025.
- NO BTS, NO KPOP GROUP WILL BE NOMINATED. JUST WAIT FOR THEM TO COMEBACK
