While the parties involved confirmed that meetings had taken place, they declined to disclose details of the discussions. However, an unnamed official said that hosting the Grammys in Korea would be a mutually beneficial relationship, allowing the Grammys to expand into the Asian market and the Korean entertainment industry to benefit from the awards' reputation.
The event is of great significance to the Asian music industry.
In a 2023 interview with The Hollywood Reporter , CEO Harvey Mason Jr. shared about the Recording Academy's global journey to learn and collaborate with music ecosystems around the world .
The Grammy Awards, which were established in 1958, are highly regarded for their artistic integrity and recognition of outstanding achievements in the music industry. In South Korea, BTS is the only K-pop group to have ever been nominated for a Grammy.
Hosting the Asian Grammy Awards in Korea will be a significant event, not only for Korea but also for the entire Asian music industry. It will be an opportunity for Asian artists to be recognized and honored on the international stage, while promoting the development and cultural exchange between countries in the region.
However, the final decision on the venue has not been announced yet. Fans and experts are eagerly waiting for official information from the Recording Academy.
In 2021, BTS made the media explode when they became the first Kpop group to be nominated at Grammy. With the explosive comeback " Dynamite" that " dominated" a series of international music charts, BTS has appeared at Grammy in the category Best pop duo/group performance.
With this nomination, the group continues to be a candidate in 2022 with " Butter". Two products " Dynamite" and " Butter" considered the peak of BTS's career, affirming the name of HYBE's boy band in the international market. The group achieved a series of record-breaking achievements, "breaking the map" Billboard Hot 100 and become the unrivaled global boy band.
