K-pop band @BTS_twt was nominated for a #GRAMMYs

for best pop duo/group performance for the effervescent single “Dynamite.”

Still, fans and music critics alike say they were robbed. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2020-11-24/bts-grammys-nomination-dynamite

BTS' No. 1 single 'Dynamite' fails to get a Grammy nomination for record or song of the year. The Army will not be happy about this.

Even Grammy K-pop’s skeptics admit that the bona fides are there:
sold-out stadium tours

mainstream radio play

phenomenal album sales

a No. 1 single

So why isn't @bts_bighit in contention for #Grammys

song or record of the year? https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2020-11-24/bts-grammys-nomination-dynamite

The derth of nominations for @bts_bighit follows last year's complete shut out for #GRAMMYnoms

The mega-popular K-pop boy band was shut out when Grammy nominations were announced on Wednesday.

. @bts_bighit 's only other #GRAMMYs

nomination was in 2018 for their album art. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/la-et-ms-grammys2019-bts-20181207-story.html

The past year was a banner one for K-pop in the U.S., with BTS becoming the first South Korean act to land atop the Billboard album charts.

Will the Grammys ever get a dedicated K-pop category? It is, after all, a perennial complaint in fandom. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2020-11-24/bts-grammys-nomination-dynamite
