BTS ARMYs react to Bangtan’s historic triple Grammy nominations
On November 15, 2022, ARMYs took to social media to react to BTS' historic triple Grammy nominations. The famed South Korean band are currently nominated in:
- The "Best Pop Duo/Group" category for the soulful track My Universe in collaboration with Coldplay
- "Best Music Video" category for Yet to Come from the album Proof
- "Album of the Year" category for Coldplay's Music of the Spheres album, where members RM, SUGA, and j-hope have been given songwriting credits
Their first nomination is for the “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance" category, their third consecutive nomination in the aforementioned category after their English songs Dynamite in 2021 and Butter in 2022.
Bangtan is the only group to be nominated in the “Best Pop Duo/Group” category for three consecutive years, bested only by Maroon 5 and their My Universe collaborators, Coldplay.
ARMYs are ecstatic and have flooded social media platforms with praise for the K-pop juggernauts and their historic triple nominations at the 2023 Grammy Awards.
Their second nomination, Yet to Come, is also BTS’ first Korean language song to be nominated for a Grammy Award. This is the first time that BTS has earned double nominations at the Grammy Awards and have now taken their total tally of nominations to five.
Finally, for their third nomination in the “Album of the Year” category, Bangtan's rap line members RM, SUGA, and j-hope are credited as songwriters on Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres album, earning them a stake in Coldplay’s nomination.
Following this nomination, Bangtan's rap line members RM, SUGA and j-hope are now Grammy-credited songwriters.
Bangtan first appeared at the Grammy Awards in 2019 as presenters and presented H.E.R with the “Best R&B album” award.
In 2020, they became the first K-pop artists to perform at the Grammy Awards, sharing the stage with American rapper Lil Nas X to perform Old Town Road.
In 2021, they earned their first nomination for their debut English song Dynamite and also debuted their solo stage for the song. The following year, they earned yet another nomination with Butter and performed the song at the awards as well.
The Yet to Come singers are now the most nominated Korean artists of all time. Currently, there is no information if the members will be attending or performing at the 2023 Grammy Awards and an official announcement on that front is eagerly awaited.
