BTS Becomes The First K-Pop Act To Receive A GRAMMY Nomination

BTS has officially made the list of nominees for the 61st GRAMMY Awards!

These international sensations have received a nomination for their 2018 album LOVE YOURSELF: TEAR.

It has been nominated for “Best Recording Package”, one of a series of GRAMMY Awards presented for the visual look of an album. It is presented to the art director of the winning album, not to the performer(s), unless the performer is also the art director.

Some fans who had been hoping for a nomination based on BTS’s music were surprised at the visual-based nomination…

Stop being salty about the nominations. Learn to appreciate and be grateful for what we get. Art director or not BTS name is out there now. It’s really in the mouth of the Grammys. This ain’t whatever. This is the beginning of greater things. Appreciate and be grateful

…but are celebrating nevertheless because BTS have officially become the first K-Pop act in history to receive a nomination!

Y’all whether it’s the art director for BTS or not their album. It’s THEIR album. It’s still a win and huge recognition for the boys.
