What the Grammys Get Wrong About Asian Music

Original: K-pop, BTS, and What the Grammys Get Wrong About Asian Music

Time has published a feature examining how the Grammy Awards categorise and recognise Asian music, using K-pop and BTS as its central examples. The piece argues that the awards' structure tends to confine Asian artists to narrow categories rather than treating them as mainstream pop contenders, a critique that has followed the Recording Academy amid BTS's repeated nominations and global chart success.

Why now: Debate over the Grammys' treatment of K-pop resurfaces each awards season, particularly around BTS's nominations and snubs.
